What is SummarizingTool and what does it do?
SummarizingTool is an AI productivity suite that turns long-form content — articles, papers, PDFs, YouTube videos — into clean summaries, key-point lists, bullet outlines, and mind maps in seconds.
How does the AI summarizer work?
We send your text through a tuned LLM pipeline that detects structure, identifies the load-bearing sentences, and produces a faithful summary. We pick the prompt and length automatically based on the format you choose (Summary, Bullets, Best Line).
Is SummarizingTool free?
Yes. There's a generous free tier — enough for casual use. If you need more daily summaries or the Pro tools (Chat With Video, Mind Map, Flashcards), our Monthly plan is $4.99/mo.
How accurate are the summaries?
Very. We benchmark against editor-written summaries and ship only when the model agrees with the human on the key points 90 %+ of the time. You can always tweak the result in the editable output area.
What file types can I upload?
Plain text (.txt), Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx) and PDF up to 10 MB. For YouTube content, just paste the URL.
Do you store the text I submit?
No. Submitted text is processed in memory and discarded after the response is returned. We don't keep copies, and we don't train models on your input.
How do I cancel my subscription?
From your account page, hit "Manage subscription". Cancel anytime — you keep access through the end of the billing period.
Can I use SummarizingTool for academic work?
Absolutely — students and researchers are our biggest audience. Use Article Summarizer for papers, PDF Summarizer for textbooks, and Mind Map / Flashcards for study sessions. Always cite the original source in your work.
Is there a Chrome extension?
Yes — search "SummarizingTool" in the Chrome Web Store. The extension lets you summarize any article or selection from your browser bar.
