Chat with your PDFs and get answers that cite their pages

Drop in a paper, a dissertation or a 300-page report. Ask in your own language: every answer names the page it came from, so you can check it.

Read less, understand more

A forty-page paper takes two hours to comb through when you are after one precise fact. Chat with PDF reads the document for you and answers your questions while citing its sources. You stay in control: every claim points to a page you can open in one click.

What the tool does

Built for long documents and academic work.

Answers with their pages

Every answer carries numbered references. One click opens the cited page in the document. A fabricated reference is removed before you ever see it.

Automatic summary

One tab produces a structured overview: key points, outline and what to take away. Computed once, read as often as you like.

Smart selection

Highlight a passage in the PDF: explain it, summarise it, translate it or find related papers, without leaving your reading.

In-document search

A Ctrl+F that ignores accents and case, counts the matches and walks you from one to the next.

Folders

Organise documents by topic, by course or by thesis chapter. A document can be moved at any time.

Full viewer

Zoom, page navigation, full screen, word-accurate text selection and whole-paragraph selection in a single click.

How it works

Three steps, no more.

  1. 1

    Drop in your PDF

    Up to 25 MB per file. The document is analysed page by page, then split so every answer can be tied to a precise place.

  2. 2

    Ask your question

    In your own language, even when the document is in another. Suggestions help you start: research question, methodology, results, limitations.

  3. 3

    Check the source

    Click a reference: the document opens at the right page. You cite what you have read, not what a machine asserts.

Who it is for

Wherever you must read fast without reading badly.

Students writing a thesis

Work through an entire bibliography. Understand a methodology, spot the limitations the author admits, find the page to cite.

Researchers

Sort through a literature review: what a paper actually establishes, and what it leaves open.

Lawyers and consultants

Question a contract, a report or a ruling running to hundreds of pages, with a page reference for every point.

Teachers

Prepare a course from a set of sources: summaries, definitions of technical terms, points where sources disagree.

Why Textiaa

The differences that matter when the work is graded.

Always the page

An answer without a source cannot be checked. Here every claim points to a page, and references matching no passage in the document are stripped out.

Nine languages, properly

Interface and answers in French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish and Arabic. You choose the answer language, whatever the document's.

Your documents stay private

Files are stored privately and readable only through short-lived links. Nothing is public, nothing is shared.

Part of your writing tools

Chat with PDF sits next to the academic writing assistant, the citation generator and the plagiarism checker. One account, one subscription.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The free plan lets you upload a document and ask questions, with a limited number of exchanges per month. Folders, highlights, the automatic summary and related papers are reserved for paid plans.
