Free Text Summariser Tool

WordCountPro's text summariser uses extractive summarisation — it analyses your text to identify the most important sentences based on word frequency and sentence position, then presents them as a concise summary. Unlike AI summarisers, this tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is ever sent to a server. Your text is completely private.

Extractive summarisation works best with factual, informational text — articles, reports, essays, research papers, and news stories. It identifies sentences that contain the most frequently used significant words in the text, on the basis that these are likely to be the most important sentences.

How does this text summariser work?

This tool uses extractive summarisation — it scores every sentence in your text based on how many significant words it contains (excluding common stop words like "the", "and", "is"), then selects the highest-scoring sentences to form the summary. The sentences are presented in their original order to maintain flow.

Is my text private?

Yes, completely. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you paste is sent to our servers or stored anywhere. This is different from AI-powered summarisers, which typically send your text to external APIs.

What length of text works best?

The summariser works best with 200 or more words. For very short texts under 100 words, summarisation isn't particularly useful. For very long texts over 5,000 words, choose the "Long" or "Full" summary setting to capture more key points.

Can I summarise a PDF or Word document?

Yes — copy the text from your PDF or Word document (Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C), then paste it into the box above. The tool works with any plain text.

Is this text summariser free?

Yes, completely free. No sign up, no account, no limits.
