Straight answers

What is PageSum?
PageSum turns a video link into a text transcript and an AI summary. Paste a TikTok, Instagram Reel, Facebook, X or YouTube link and get the full transcript with timestamps plus a short summary, even when the video has no captions. It also summarizes articles, PDFs and pasted text in 6 modes. Free to start with an email link, no credit card; Pro is $7.99/month for unlimited use.
How do I summarize a Facebook video?
Copy the video's share link in the Facebook app (Share → Copy link; fb.watch, facebook.com/share/v/ and /share/r/ links all work), paste it into PageSum and press Summarize. You get a summary, the key moments and the full transcript. Public videos and Reels work; private, friends-only and group videos do not. Learn more →
How do I get the transcript of a TikTok, Instagram Reel or Facebook video?
Paste the link into PageSum. It uses the video's captions when there are any and otherwise transcribes the audio with AI. The transcript shows timestamps, has a Copy button and downloads as .txt, .srt or .vtt, all on the free plan. It is usually in the language spoken in the video. Learn more →
Can PageSum summarize a video that has no captions or subtitles?
Yes. Videos without captions are transcribed with AI: up to 5 minutes on the free plan, 25 minutes on Pro and 90 minutes on Max. The free plan covers the first 5 minutes of any video; on Pro, videos with captions work at any length. Music-only videos with no speech cannot be transcribed. Learn more →
Can PageSum summarize YouTube videos?
Yes. Paste a YouTube link and PageSum summarizes the video from its transcript and splits videos of 3 minutes or longer into chapters with timestamps you can jump to. You can also ask follow-up questions about the video. Learn more →
Is PageSum free to use?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 summaries a day, 1 of which can be a video (2 videos on your first day; the first 5 minutes of each, with the transcript), Quick and Key Points modes and 1 follow-up question a day. Pro ($7.99/month) removes the daily limits and adds all 6 modes, unlimited questions and flashcards. Max ($12/month) transcribes caption-less videos up to 90 minutes. No credit card is needed to start. Learn more →
Is there an API for developers?
Yes. One request with an article, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or X link, or plain text, returns a summary and a TL;DR. Videos without captions are transcribed for you. Plans start at $9 a month for 100 credits, and failed requests cost nothing. Learn more →
What languages are supported?
PageSum summarizes in 36 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, French, German and Italian. By default the summary is written in the language of the video or article, or you can pick another, for example an English summary of a Spanish video.
Can you summarize an article for me?
Yes. Paste the article URL into PageSum and it summarizes the article in seconds, with no copy-pasting. Choose from 6 summary modes: Quick, Detailed, Key Points, ELI5, ELI10 or One-Liner.
Can PageSum summarize PDFs?
Yes. Drop a PDF or Word file into PageSum and it extracts the text and summarizes it. It works well with research papers, reports, ebooks and lecture notes. Pro summarizes every page of long PDFs. Learn more →
How do I convert a paragraph into a summary?
Paste the text into PageSum, choose Key Points or Quick mode, and get a structured summary in seconds.
What can I summarize?
TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, X and YouTube video links, most online articles, blog posts and news stories, PDFs, Word documents, uploaded video or audio files, and pasted text. Paywalled articles and private videos are not supported.
Can I ask follow-up questions about a video or article?
Yes. After a summary you can ask questions and get answers grounded in the content, with timestamps for videos. The free plan includes 1 question per day; Pro is unlimited and can also answer across your whole library.
Does PageSum have a Chrome extension?
Yes. The PageSum Chrome extension summarizes the page or YouTube video you are on in one click, in a side panel next to the page. It works in Chrome, Edge and Brave. Learn more →
What is the difference between ELI5 and ELI10 summary modes?
ELI5 (Explain Like I'm 5) rewrites the content in very plain language with no jargon, for when you just need the core idea. ELI10 (Explain Like I'm 10) is still easy to read but keeps more nuance and detail. Learn more →
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. Your summaries are stored securely and only visible to you unless you share one. We do not sell or share your history or personal data with third parties.
