WhiskFile uses Google's Gemini AI model, which produces highly accurate summaries. The AI reads the full text of your PDF and extracts key points, conclusions, and important details. For best results, ensure your PDF has selectable text — if it's a scanned image, run it through the OCR tool first.
WhiskFile offers four summary styles: Brief (2-3 sentence overview), Bullet Points (scannable key-point list), Executive Summary (structured with Overview, Key Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations sections), and Detailed (comprehensive section-by-section analysis). Each can be set to short (~150 words), medium (~400 words), or detailed (~800 words) length.
Yes. Your PDF text is sent to the AI model for processing and immediately discarded. It is never stored, indexed, or used for AI training. WhiskFile's privacy policy applies to all AI features.
Any PDF with selectable text: research papers, legal contracts, business reports, books, meeting notes, and more. If your PDF is a scanned image without selectable text, use the OCR PDF tool first to add a text layer, then summarize.
Yes. You can copy the summary to your clipboard with one click, or download it as a plain text (.txt) or Markdown (.md) file. The summary is formatted with headings and bullet points for easy reuse in documents or presentations.
Yes. AI-powered features require a WhiskFile Pro subscription ($4.99/month). This covers the AI processing costs and gives you unlimited summaries with no daily cap.
WhiskFile can summarize PDFs up to 500 pages. The AI reads up to 90,000 characters of text from your document for comprehensive understanding. For very long documents, the Detailed style with Medium or Detailed length gives the most thorough coverage.
Brief produces a 2-3 sentence overview — ideal for quick document triage. Detailed provides a comprehensive section-by-section analysis with headings and bullet points, covering all key topics, conclusions, and action items.
Executive Summary generates a structured report with four sections: Overview (2-3 sentence summary), Key Findings (bullet list of main facts), Conclusions (what the document concludes), and Recommendations/Next Steps (action items, if applicable).
Only if the PDF has selectable text. If your PDF is a scanned image, the tool will warn you and link to the OCR PDF tool. Run OCR first to add a text layer, then summarize.
WhiskFile offers 4 dedicated summary styles with 3 length options — not just a chat interface. The Executive Summary format with structured sections is unique. WhiskFile is powered by Google Gemini AI, which excels at structured document analysis.
