Paste an article link — we extract the readable text and summarize it in seconds. Short, detailed, or bullets. Free daily uses, no account needed.
The SideZero Chrome sidebar summarizes the page you're on in one click — no link-copying, and it works on YouTube too.
Three steps, a few seconds.
Any public article, blog post, or news story. We fetch the page and extract just the readable text — no ads, menus, or comments.
Short for the gist, Detailed for a structured overview, or Bullet points for scannable notes.
The summary streams in live. Copy it, peek at the extracted text, or run another article.
Built by SideZero with the same rules as everything we ship: honest, fast, private.
We pull the article's actual text with the same technique reader modes use, and you can view exactly what was extracted — the summary is grounded in it, nothing else.
Extraction is free and unlimited within fair use. The AI summary has a free daily allowance — when you reach it we say so and show when it resets.
The article streams from its site, through the summarizer, to your screen. We keep no copy of the page, the text, or your reading list.
Straight answers — it's kind of our thing.
Paste the article's URL into the box above and click Summarize Article. We fetch the page, extract the readable text automatically, and stream back a summary — no copy-pasting needed.
Only what the site shows publicly can be summarized. If a page serves just a teaser before a paywall, the summary reflects that teaser — we don't bypass paywalls.
We extract up to 40,000 characters and summarize the first 24,000 — comfortably covering almost all news articles and blog posts. Very long reads are summarized from the beginning.
Yes — after the summary appears, click Show extracted text to see exactly what the summarizer read. If a site's layout confuses the extractor, you'll see it immediately.
Yes. The summary comes back in the article's own language — paste a French article, get a French summary. All major languages are supported.
