How it works
- Your text, length and format are sent to Cloudflare Workers AI (Mistral Small 3.1, Llama 3.3 70B if busy).
- The model is told to use only what is in the text and keep names, numbers and dates.
- Your browser counts the words before and after: reading time = words ÷ 230 a minute.
- Nothing is saved: refresh the page and the text is gone.

Tips for a better summary
- Remove clutter such as menus, adverts and comments before pasting a web page.
- Very long documents: summarize each section, then summarize the summaries.
- Check key facts against the original before quoting them.
- Want to reword the summary in your own style? Use the paraphrasing tool.

Frequently asked questions
How do I summarize an article for free?
Paste up to 12,000 characters (about 2,000 words) above, choose short, medium or detailed and a format, then press Summarize. The summary appears in a few seconds with how many words and minutes of reading it saves.
Can it summarize in Bahasa Melayu?
Yes. It keeps the language of your text by default, or you can choose Bahasa Melayu or English, for example to get a Malay summary of an English article.
How long can the text be?
Up to 12,000 characters, roughly 2,000 words or 4 to 5 pages. For a longer document, summarize it section by section and then summarize the combined summaries.
Which format is best for studying?
Key points with a takeaway works best for revision: each main idea becomes a bullet and the last line gives the overall conclusion. Choose a paragraph when you need to paste the summary into an essay or report.
Will the summary add things that are not in the text?
The AI is told to use only information in your text and to keep names, numbers and dates exactly, but AI can still make mistakes. Check important figures against the original before relying on them.
Is my text stored?
No. The text is sent once to Cloudflare Workers AI and is not stored by this site. Avoid pasting confidential documents or personal data into any online AI tool.
How is the reading time saved worked out?
At an average silent reading speed of 230 words a minute. A 1,500-word article takes about 6.5 minutes to read; a 150-word summary takes under a minute, saving about 6 minutes.
