Ask anything about your documents. Answers cite the passages they come from, and say so when your documents don't cover the question.

Chat with PDF answers questions about your documents using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) that runs entirely in your browser. There is no upload, no account and no API key: your documents are indexed locally with SQLite, and answers come from Gemini Nano (built into Chrome) or an open Qwen3 model running on your GPU through WebGPU.

What you get

Nothing is uploaded

Extraction, search and the AI model all run in your browser. Your files, questions and answers never reach a server.

Cited answers

Every answer points to the passages it used. Click a citation to read the source text.

Says when it doesn't know

If your documents don't contain the answer, it tells you instead of making one up.

No download in Chrome

Desktop Chrome uses Gemini Nano, its built-in AI. Other browsers can download Qwen3 1.7B once.

PDF, Word, text and web pages

Drop PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown or HTML files, paste text, or add a URL.

Remembers your documents

Documents stay in your browser between visits, so you don't re-add them. Clear everything with one click.

How it works

  1. 1. Read

    Text is extracted from each document in your browser (pdf.js for PDFs, mammoth for Word files).

  2. 2. Index

    The text is split into overlapping passages, each turned into a vector by a small embedding model and stored with a keyword index in SQLite, all on your device.

  3. 3. Retrieve

    Your question is matched against the passages by meaning and by keywords; the best matches from both are combined.

  4. 4. Answer

    The top passages go to the AI model with instructions to answer only from them and cite each one.

Frequently asked questions

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. Text extraction, search and the AI model all run inside your browser. Your files, the questions you ask and the answers stay on your device. The only downloads are the tool's code and, if you choose one, an AI model's files.

Which AI model answers my questions?

In desktop Chrome it uses Gemini Nano, the AI model built into Chrome, so there is nothing to download. In other browsers with WebGPU you can download Qwen3 1.7B (~0.9 GB) once; it is cached for later visits. No account or API key is needed.

How does it find the answer in my documents?

Your documents are split into passages and indexed two ways: by meaning (a small embedding model) and by keywords (SQLite full-text search). For each question the best-matching passages are combined and given to the AI with instructions to answer only from them and to cite each one. If the passages don't contain the answer, it says so instead of guessing.

What files can I add?

PDF, Word (DOCX), plain text, Markdown and HTML files, pasted text, and web pages by URL. Scanned PDFs without a text layer are not supported yet. The free tool holds up to 5 documents and about 300 pages in total.

Why can't it read some URLs?

Most websites tell browsers not to let other sites read their pages (a security rule called CORS). This tool fetches URLs directly from your browser and never through a server, so those sites can't be read. Copy the text and use Add text, or save the page as a PDF. Wikipedia, GitHub and arXiv links are handled automatically.

Are my documents saved after I close the page?

Yes, in your browser's private storage for this site, so you don't need to re-add them. Chat history is not saved. Use "Clear all my data" to delete everything.
