This Text Summarizer is extractive only. It scores the sentences in your text and returns the top ones word for word, in their original order. Pick about 10, 20, 30 or 50 percent of the sentences, choose a paragraph or bullet shape, and copy or download the result.
Paste your text and pick a length. The tool scores each sentence on how central its words are to the whole piece, where the sentence sits, its length, and whether it holds cue words that tend to carry a point. Sentences near the start get some weight, since writers often state their case early.
The top scoring sentences are then put back in their original order, word for word, with nothing rewritten. That order matters. A summary that shuffles picked lines can read as if the author argued in a different sequence, and this one keeps the flow you wrote.
Under the result, the page shows the compression plainly: sentences and words before and after. A 50 percent cut that still runs long tells you the source was long. A 10 percent cut that reads thin tells you the piece spreads its points across many lines, which is useful to know before you share the short version.
Readers use it to preview a long report, paper or article before giving it a full read. A 20 percent extract shows whether the piece covers what you need, and the kept sentences point you to the sections worth your time.
Students and researchers use it to build a first brief from source text they must still cite with care. Because the lines are verbatim, a quote taken from the summary is a true quote from the source, which is not the case with a rewritten summary. Meeting and newsletter writers use the bullet shape to turn a long update into a short list of its main lines for people who will not read the whole thing.
There is no word limit. The big AI summarizers cap free use at a few hundred words, often 250 to 700, and charge past that. This tool runs in your browser, so a full chapter or a long report can be cut in one pass.
The paragraph shape suits reading and quoting, since the picked sentences flow as prose. The bullet shape suits scanning, slides and briefs, where each kept line stands on its own and a reader can stop at any point with the main lines covered.
Length is a share of sentences, not words. Ten percent of a text with many short sentences keeps more separate points than ten percent of a text built from long ones. If a summary feels jumpy, step up one length level before you edit by hand. If it feels padded, step down. Trying two lengths costs seconds and often beats trimming a single output line by line.
This tool is never AI and the page will not call it that. It does not rewrite, paraphrase or merge ideas, and it does not keep the whole meaning of a piece. It keeps the picked sentences exactly, and it can miss a point the scoring ranked low. A key line written with rare words, or placed late in the text, can lose to lines that repeat common terms.
Scores also favor the way a text is built. A piece that repeats its main terms often will rank those lines high, while a piece that states a fact once, in plain short words, may rank it low. Read the summary against the source before you act on it, and for work that carries risk, a grade or money, treat the extract as a map and read the full text. The map is honest about how it was drawn, and that is the most any scoring method should claim.
No. It is extractive. It scores your sentences and returns the top ones word for word in their original order. Nothing is rewritten, paraphrased or generated, and no model is involved at any step.
About 10, 20, 30 or 50 percent of the sentences in your text. The page shows sentences and words before and after, so you can see the real compression and step up or down a level if needed.
Yes. Use the copy button to take the summary to your clipboard, or download it as a file. Pick the paragraph shape for prose use or the bullet shape for briefs, slides and quick scans.
Not always. It keeps the picked sentences exactly, but a point the scoring ranked low can be left out. Read the summary against the source before you rely on it for study, work or a decision.
No. Paste long texts and summarize in one pass. Large AI summarizers often cap free use at 250 to 700 words. This tool runs in your browser, so no cap or credit system applies.
No. The scoring and picking run in your browser tab. Your text is not uploaded, stored or used to train anything, and no sign-up is asked for at any point.
