AskYourPDF vs PDFPeer

AskYourPDF lets you upload PDFs and other documents, then chat with them to pull answers, summaries, and quotes without manual page flipping. The platform also embeds a website AI agent, auto-fills PDF forms from your data, and ships mobile apps plus a Chrome extension for the same document chat workflow.

Unlike single-purpose PDF readers, AskYourPDF bundles document chat with form filling and a site-trained agent that answers only from pages and files you provide. Premium tiers unlock knowledge-base chats across multiple documents, OCR, and model picks from GPT-5, Gemini 2.5, and Claude 4.5 families.

Researchers, students, and teams handling contracts or long reports will save the most reading time here. AskYourPDF reports more than 5 million users and publishes a developer API, Zotero plugin, and ChatGPT plugin alongside the web app.

PDFPeer turns uploaded PDFs into documents you can question in plain language. Upload a file, then ask for summaries, specific facts, or quick lookups without scrolling page by page. The product targets students working through lecture notes and professionals handling contracts, reports, bank statements, and similar paperwork.

The homepage highlights use across study materials, invoices, resumes, contracts, tax forms, research papers, and other document types. PDFPeer also ships a separate free tools section for conversions and extraction, including PDF to text, OCR, image conversion, and split PDF workflows that do not require signing in.

Accounts support Google, GitHub, or email sign-in. Southern East Inc., based in Waterloo, Ontario, operates PDFPeer and handles billing through Stripe.
