Frequently Asked Questions
How does Chat with PDF work?
When you upload a PDF, Paperly extracts all the text from the document using a PDF parser that runs entirely in your browser. When you ask a question, the AI analyzes the extracted text to find the most relevant information and constructs a helpful answer. No data is sent to any server.
What types of PDFs work best?
Text-based PDFs work best — documents created from Word, Google Docs, or similar tools. Scanned PDFs (images of text) may have limited text extraction. For scanned documents, use our OCR tool first to make the text searchable, then chat with the result.
Is my document kept private?
Absolutely. Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser. No file is uploaded to any server, and no data leaves your device. Once you close the tab, the document is gone.
How accurate are the answers?
The AI extracts the most relevant passages from your document to answer questions. For best results, ask specific questions rather than very broad ones. The answers are based entirely on the content of your PDF.
