Text Summarizer — Free Text Utility

Text Summarizer uses extractive summarization — scoring every sentence based on how many high-frequency, meaningful words it contains, then selecting the top-scoring sentences in their original order — to condense a long article, report, or document down to its most representative sentences without rewriting or paraphrasing anything. Unlike AI-generated abstractive summaries that write entirely new sentences (and can occasionally introduce inaccuracies), extractive summarization only ever uses your original sentences verbatim, making the output inherently faithful to the source text. This is useful for quickly previewing long documents, creating article excerpts, or condensing meeting notes down to key points.

Frequently Asked Questions

Extractive summarization selects and combines existing sentences from the source text verbatim. Abstractive summarization (typically AI-generated) writes entirely new sentences to convey the same meaning, which can be more concise but risks introducing inaccuracies.

It scores each sentence based on how many frequently-occurring, meaningful words (excluding common stop words) it contains — sentences packed with the document's key recurring terms score higher.

Yes — specify how many sentences you want in the final summary, and the tool selects that many of the highest-scoring sentences.

No — this uses statistical word-frequency scoring, not an AI language model. It's faster and always uses your exact original sentences, but doesn't rewrite or synthesize new phrasing.
