Asking a document a question beats scrolling it when you need one clause out of forty pages. Every answer Doclium gives cites the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take it on trust — which matters, because AI does get things wrong.

How to chat with a PDF

  1. 1Upload the PDF you want to ask about.
  2. 2Type your question, or pick one of the suggested prompts.
  3. 3Read the answer and click any citation to jump to that page.

Questions people ask

How do I know the answer is right?

Each claim links to the page it came from, and Doclium flags a citation it could not verify against the retrieved text. Click through and check.

Can I ask about several documents at once?

Yes. Switch the scope to all documents to search your whole library.

Can it read scanned documents?

Run OCR first to recover the text, then ask away.

The PDF toolkit that reads your documents too

Doclium is a free web app for working with PDFs: merge, split, compress, rotate, protect and convert them in your browser, with no install and no signup to start. Where most PDF tools stop at the file, Doclium also reads it — ask a question and get an answer that cites the page it came from, so you can check it.

Chat with a PDF, summarise a long report, or translate one into another language. Clean documents up with OCR, redaction, watermarks, headers and footers, page numbers and A4 or Letter resizing. Every change can be undone, and every export is previewed before it downloads.

Private by default Your library is yours alone. Documents are scoped to your account or device and are never readable by another user.
HTTPS everywhere All traffic is encrypted in transit with TLS. Your files are not used to train AI models.
Answers with citations The assistant quotes the passage and page behind each answer, so nothing has to be taken on trust.
Free to use The tools are free, with no watermark added to your output and no account needed to begin.
