## Frequently asked questions

### Which AI model do you use?

We use Anthropic's Claude to generate accurate, faithful summaries.

### Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Not yet — scanned PDFs need to go through OCR first. Use our OCR PDF tool.

### Is it really free?

Yes. AI Summarize is 100% free — no sign-up, no watermarks. We cap usage at 10 operations per day per visitor to keep the service fast for everyone.

### Are my files private?

For most tools your file never leaves your browser — everything runs locally. For Office conversions (which need LibreOffice on our server), files are processed and deleted immediately after conversion.

### Is there a file size limit?

Browser-based tools depend on your device's memory; most files under 200 MB work fine. Server-side conversions are capped at 50 MB.
