What is PDF AI?

Chat with PDFs to ask and summarise.

Who is PDF AI best for?

PDF AI is best for students and researchers who need quick answers from long PDFs, each tied to its source.

  • Long contracts and reports

    You ask questions in plain language and each answer points to the passages it came from, so you can check it against the PDF.

  • Documents in other languages

    It reads a PDF in any language and replies in the language you ask in.

  • Scanned files

    Built-in OCR reads scanned pages, from 2 pages per file on the free plan to 100 on Enterprise.

  • Developers automating document work

    A separate API turns PDFs into structured JSON, pulls out named fields and splits documents into sections, paid for in monthly credits.

How much does PDF AI cost?

PDF AI has a free Hobby plan for one PDF and 100 questions a month, and paid plans cost $17 a month for Pro, $27 per user a month for Ultimate or $37 per user a month for Enterprise, with lower rates billed yearly.
