How to summarize text online

Three steps, a few seconds.

1

Paste your text

Drop in anything up to 24,000 characters — articles, essays, reports, transcripts, or long emails.

2

Pick a style

Short for the gist, Detailed for a structured overview, or Bullet points for scannable notes.

3

Get your summary

The summary streams in live. Copy it with one click, or run another text.

Why this summarizer

Built by SideZero with the same rules as our extension: honest limits, private by design.

Actually free, stated plainly

You get free uses every day without an account. When you hit the daily cap we say so openly and show exactly when it resets — no bait, no surprise paywall mid-task.

Your text is never stored

Text streams through to the model and back to you. We keep token counts for quota math — never your content, and nothing is used for training.

Any language in, same language out

Paste text in any language and the summary comes back in that language — no settings to hunt for.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers — it's kind of our thing.

Is this text summarizer really free?

Yes — you get free summaries every day with no account. The exact daily number is shown the moment you reach it, along with when it resets. Installing the free SideZero extension and signing in raises the daily cap.

How long can the text be?

Up to 24,000 characters per summary — roughly 4,000 words. For whole web pages or YouTube videos, the SideZero Chrome extension summarizes them in place without any pasting.

Is my text stored or used for AI training?

No. Your text streams through our relay to the model and straight back to you. We log token counts for quota accounting — never the content itself — and nothing you paste is used to train any model.

What summary styles are available?

Three: Short (2–4 sentences), Detailed (an overview paragraph plus key points), and Bullet points (4–8 scannable bullets). Pick a chip above the Summarize button before you run it.

Does it work in languages other than English?

Yes. The summarizer replies in the language of the text you paste — paste Spanish, get a Spanish summary. It handles all major languages.
