How to chat with a PDF in 3 steps

1. Import or scan. Drop in a PDF, DOCX, RTF or TXT — or scan paper with your camera. OCR reads even handwriting.
2. Let it index. PDFChat AI indexes the document right on your device in seconds.
3. Ask anything. "What are the key findings?", "Explain clause 7 in plain English", "Quiz me on chapter 3" — every answer cites its page.

What people use it for

• Students: turn textbooks into instant Q&A study sessions, get summaries before exams.
• Professionals: ask contracts and reports the questions that matter before signing.
• Researchers: extract key points from papers without re-reading them.
• Anyone with paper: scan a letter, a manual, a form — and just ask.

Why PDFChat AI instead of pasting into a chatbot?

Copy-pasting chunks of a PDF into a chatbot loses page numbers, formatting and context. PDFChat AI keeps the whole document, answers with page citations so you can verify everything, and works offline-first: your documents stay on your device, and AI processing is opt-in.
