How it works: this tool picks the most important sentences from your text by word frequency. It does not understand meaning and does not rewrite sentences like an AI model, so the summary always uses your original words.
Long articles, reports and meeting notes take time to read, and the point is often buried under examples and background. This free text summarizer shortens a long passage by picking out its most important sentences, so you can grasp the main ideas in a fraction of the time. Paste your text, choose a short, medium or long summary, or set the exact number of sentences you want, and the result appears instantly with word counts before and after. It is useful for revision notes, preparing for a class, skimming a report before a meeting, or checking whether a draft actually says what you meant it to say. One honest limit matters: this is an extractive summarizer, not an AI writer. It selects sentences from your own text by word frequency and never rewrites them, so the summary keeps your wording exactly. Everything runs in your browser, so your text is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
