Chat with PDF

Find source passages or ask on-device AI when available.

Local processing

Source search matches words and does not reason about a document. AI answers can be wrong. Check the original pages.

Advanced processing awaits connection

Checking available conversion and AI engines…

Source tools work on this device. AI needs either the server model connected or a browser with on-device AI support.

Chat with PDF: how it works

Ask a question to locate relevant source passages with page references. Compatible desktop browsers can also use an optional local language model. Server AI also works on phones and tablets once a model is connected, with your consent to send extracted text.

Chat with PDF FAQs

Can the assistant answer questions absent from the PDF?

Source search shows matching passages, or reports no matches. AI is instructed to stay within the document, but you should verify every answer. The server AI mode does not need browser-native AI; it requires the site’s model connection.

Are my documents uploaded?

Local PDF tools process documents in your browser. Choosing a file alone does not upload it. Server conversion sends the chosen file only after you confirm; server AI sends extracted text only after consent. Download your output before closing the page; there is no cloud document library.

Are my PDFs encrypted?

The website uses HTTPS to encrypt the connection. Local processing does not automatically password-encrypt your input or downloaded PDF. No website can guarantee 100% security; use a trusted device and keep your original files.

How do I save a PDF on an iPhone?

After creating the result, use Save / Share and choose Save to Files. If a download opens a preview, use the browser’s Share control to save a copy.
