Know what happens before you upload

16MB request limit

The entire upload request is limited to 16MB. For Merge, the combined request—not just each individual file—must fit that limit.

Server-side processing

Files are processed on our server. PDF Chat can also send processed content to a third-party AI service for summaries, answers, or scanned-text recognition.

Scheduled deletion

Temporary uploads and results are scheduled for deletion after 60 minutes by an hourly cleanup task. Do not upload sensitive or regulated documents.

Which tool should I start with?

Choose PDF Chat when the goal is understanding information. Choose Merge, Split, Compress, or PDF to Images when the goal is changing the file or its output format.

No. The initial summary uses the first two pages. Remaining pages are processed automatically in batches; wait for the processing status to finish before asking about later sections.

Is there a separate PDF OCR tool?

Not yet. PDF Chat can attempt OCR or visual recognition for scanned pages, but the site does not currently provide a standalone full-document OCR export.

No. Files are processed on a server and PDF Chat may use a third-party AI provider. Remove confidential, personal, medical, financial, or legally protected content before uploading.
