About AskYourPDF
What Is AskYourPDF
AskYourPDF is a web based AI PDF tool for reading and working with documents. Upload a PDF, slide deck, spreadsheet, or ebook. Then ask questions in plain language and get answers pulled from the file, with page references you can check. It covers the everyday tasks people do with long documents: finding a clause, summarizing a report, translating a contract, or turning a scanned page into searchable text.
The tool has grown well past its origins as a ChatGPT plugin. It now bundles document chat, a summarizer, a translator, an OCR reader, and an AI form filler that maps data from one PDF onto the fields of another. Teams can also point AskYourPDF at a website and embed a support agent that answers visitor questions from that content.
The main limits are on the free plan. Free accounts handle one document per day, cap each file at 100 pages and 15MB, and allow 50 questions daily on the GPT-5 Mini model. Heavy users and anyone who needs larger files or premium models have to move to a paid plan.
Getting Started
- Create a free account at askyourpdf.com and verify your email.
- Upload a document, or paste a public link to a PDF, blog post, or arXiv page.
- Ask your first question in the chat panel and read the answer with its source pages.
- Summarize, translate, or export the result, then invite teammates or embed the agent if you need it on a site.

Key features
Chat With Any Document
Ask questions about a PDF, slide deck, notebook, or ebook in plain language and get answers with the pages they came from. You can open several documents at once and let the AI pull from all of them, which is useful when the answer is spread across a set of files.
AI Summarizer
Condense a paragraph, a chapter, or a 600-page report into a short list of points. The summarizer runs on any document you upload, so a quick reading of a dense file takes seconds instead of an afternoon.
Document Translation
Translate a full document into another language while keeping the layout readable. AskYourPDF covers a wide set of languages, which helps anyone reading contracts or papers written in a language they do not speak well.
OCR for Scanned Files
Upload scans, image based PDFs, or photographed pages and let OCR turn them into searchable text. This matters for older documents and receipts that no text layer and would otherwise be unreadable to a chat tool.
AI Form Filler
Point the form filler at any PDF form, whether it has fillable fields or not, then pair it with data from another PDF, a text file, or pasted text. The AI maps the right information into the right fields, which cuts the manual typing that slows down onboarding, applications, and repeat filings.
Embeddable AI Website Agent
Train an agent on your website pages and documents, then paste one line of code before the closing body tag. It works on plain HTML, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, and frameworks like React, Vue, and Next.js, and it can hand off to a support ticket when it cannot answer.
Developer API
The AskYourPDF API lets you upload documents, chat with them, and build knowledge bases programmatically. You generate keys in your account and send them in an x-api-key header, so you can wire document Q and A into your own app.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Covers chat, summary, translation, OCR, and form filling in one place, so you do not juggle separate tools.
- Page citations on answers make it easy to check a fact before you rely on it.
- The free plan needs no credit card and still gives you document chat on a capable model.
- Works across many file types, including PDF, PPT, CSV, and EPUB, plus website links.
- An API and an embeddable agent let developers and support teams build on the same content.
Cons
- Free accounts stop at one document per day and 100 pages per file, which rules out big reports without a paid plan.
- The best models, including Claude and Gemini 2.5 Pro, need credits, so the flagship experience costs more than the sticker price.
- The website agent is aimed at teams embedding it on a site, so solo readers pay for features they may not use.
Frequently asked questions
AskYourPDF is used to read and question documents. You upload a file and ask about its content, or ask it to summarize, translate, or extract data, instead of reading it end to end.
