Overview

ChatPDF AI lets you upload PDFs and other files, then ask questions, summarize content, compare documents, and translate text. It supports PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Markdown, and text files, and it can handle multiple files in one conversation.

It is built for students, researchers, and professionals who work with papers, reports, manuals, and legal documents. Answers include citations linked to the source content, and the interface supports side-by-side viewing so you can check the original document while chatting.

The tool has a free plan with 2 documents per day and a paid Plus plan for unlimited document analysis. It also supports saved chat history with an account, and it offers a backend API.
