About ChatPDF
ChatPDF is a focused web app that lets users upload a PDF and chat with its contents. After indexing the document, users can ask questions, request summaries, extract data and quote specific sections, with each answer linked back to the source pages so claims can be verified. ChatPDF works with very long PDFs and handles multiple languages, scanned documents through OCR and password-protected files, and it lets users save documents, organize them into folders and share chats. The product is widely used by students, researchers, lawyers and analysts who need to navigate long reports, papers and contracts quickly, and is offered on a generous free tier plus Plus and Pro subscriptions with higher document size and chat limits.
