ChatPDF
Ask questions directly to a PDF and get sourced answers, no account needed
Overview
ChatPDF lets you upload a PDF and ask questions in natural language: summarize a contract, find a specific clause, pull figures from a financial report or have a memo reviewed. Unlike a general chatbot, the tool specializes on the document itself and cites source passages in its answers, making verification easy. No account is needed for free use, so it's quick to try for a one-off need.
The free plan limits use to 2 PDFs per day and 120 pages per document. A paid plan exists for heavier use, with volumes and pricing that have shifted over time; better to check the site directly before committing. The site claims multilingual support for documents and questions, making it usable in multiple languages. An API is documented for developers wanting to embed this function elsewhere, but the tool has no out-of-the-box third-party integrations (CRM, cloud storage): it's a standalone service.
Our verdict
Best for one-off, quick use: mining a contract, report or study without setting up complex tooling. Not for you if you need to analyze multiple documents in parallel or integrate this into ongoing business workflow: tools like NotebookLM or Humata offer stronger multi-document management.
