How do I summarize a PDF with AI in DocHub?

Open your document, launch the AI assistant in the editor, and ask for a summary. It reads the document's text and returns the key points; highlight a passage first to summarize only that part.

Is the AI summarizer free?

No. DocHub's AI assistant is a Pro-plan feature — on the Free plan it's behind a paywall. You can try it using DocHub's 30-day Pro trial.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

No. The assistant reads selectable text, so it won't summarize a scanned or image-only PDF that has no extractable text.

Can I summarize just one part of the document?

Yes. Highlight the section you care about first, and the assistant will summarize only that passage.

Where do the summaries come from?

Answers are based on the text in your document. The assistant is scoped to your file and won't pull in general information from the web.

Can I use the summarizer on my phone?

Yes. DocHub runs in any modern mobile browser, so you can summarize a PDF from your phone or tablet on a Pro plan without installing an app.
