Text Summarizer
Paste any article or long text and get a short, faithful summary in seconds — you choose the length, we pick the sentences that matter most.
Honest note: This summarizer picks the most important sentences from your text, right here in your browser — it does not invent new text, and nothing you paste is uploaded anywhere. That is called extractive summarisation: every sentence in your summary is copied word-for-word from your original.

How to use this Text Summarizer
- Paste your text into the box — an article, blog draft, report or set of notes. The live counter shows words and sentences.
- Add the title if you have one (optional). Sentences that match the title's key words get a small boost, so the summary stays on-topic.
- Choose the length with the slider: 10% keeps only the very top sentences, 50% keeps half. For most articles, 25–35% reads best.
- Pick a format: Sentences gives you a flowing paragraph; Bullet points lists each key sentence on its own line — handy for notes, slides and social posts.
- Press Summarize, then copy the result or download it as a .txt file. Changed the slider? The summary updates automatically.
What is extractive summarisation?
There are two ways a computer can summarise text. Abstractive summarisation rewrites the ideas in new words — that is what large AI models do, and it can accidentally change the meaning or invent details. Extractive summarisation, which this tool uses, scores every sentence and keeps the best ones exactly as written.
Our scoring is simple and transparent. Each sentence earns points for using the text's most frequent important words (filler words like "the" and "and" are ignored), a small bonus for appearing near the start — where writers usually state their main point — and another bonus if it shares words with your title. Sentences that are extremely short ("Yes.") or extremely long are penalised, because they rarely carry a clean, complete idea. The top-scoring sentences are then shown in their original order, so the summary still reads like your text — just shorter.
Because nothing is rewritten, an extractive summary is safe to quote and easy to trust: if a sentence is in the summary, it is in your source, word for word.
Good uses for a quick summary
- Turning a long blog post into a short intro, newsletter blurb or social media thread
- Skimming research before you read the full piece
- Pulling the key sentences out of meeting notes or reports
- Checking whether your own draft makes its main points early and clearly
