Frequently asked questions

Which model does it use?
Xenova/distilbart-cnn-6-6, an open-source distilled BART fine-tuned on the CNN/DailyMail news dataset. Runs locally via @huggingface/transformers.
How big is the download?
Around 150 MB on the first run. It's cached in your browser after that, so subsequent summaries are instant.
What language does it support?
DistilBART-CNN is English-only. For other languages, paste an English translation first.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Once the model is downloaded, inference happens 100% in your browser — your text is never sent to a server.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Files are processed directly in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, so your documents never leave your device.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The tools run in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox). Very large files may be slower on low-end phones.
