How long can the text I summarize be?

You can paste several thousand words at once. For very long documents, split them into sections and summarize each part.

Will the summary include information not in my text?

No. The summarizer only condenses what is already in your text and is instructed never to add outside information.

Can I get the summary as bullet points?

Yes — choose the "Bullet points" style before generating to get a scannable list of key points.

How short will the summary be?

A short paragraph is usually 2-4 sentences regardless of input length. A detailed paragraph runs longer and keeps secondary points. Bullet points typically produce 4-8 bullets depending on how many distinct facts your text contains.

Can it summarize text in other languages?

Yes. It summarizes in the language of your input. If you want the summary in English from a non-English source, run it through the AI Translator first or after.

How to use the AI Text Summarizer

1
Paste the full text
Include the whole article, report section or email thread. Remove navigation text, ads or signatures if you copied from a web page — they add noise to the summary.
2
Pick a summary style
A short paragraph gives you the gist in two or three sentences, a detailed paragraph keeps supporting points, and bullet points are best when you need to scan or share key facts.
3
Verify the key facts
The summarizer only uses what's in your text, but always double-check figures and names before you forward a summary to someone else.

Settings: Bullet points

Input

The city council voted on Tuesday to expand the bike lane network by 40 kilometres over the next three years. The plan, which will cost an estimated $12 million, prioritises routes connecting residential areas with the central business district and two university campuses. Funding will come partly from a regional transport grant, with the remaining third drawn from the city's infrastructure budget. Opponents argued that removing parking spaces on Main Street would hurt local businesses, so the council agreed to run a six-month trial on that street before making the change permanent. Construction on the first 10 kilometres is expected to start next spring.

Result

- The council approved 40 km of new bike lanes over three years, costing about $12 million. - Routes will link residential areas to the business district and two university campuses. - Two-thirds of funding comes from a regional transport grant; the rest from the city's infrastructure budget. - Main Street changes will run as a six-month trial first, after concerns about lost parking. - Work on the first 10 km starts next spring.
