You've got a PDF with text that's hard to read. Or you need to rephrase content to avoid plagiarism. Or you want to adjust the tone for a different audience. AI can rewrite the content for you.
What does rewriting do?
- Paraphrase: Rewrite content in different words while keeping meaning.

Limitations
- The extracted document text is capped at 40,000 characters (roughly 10,000 tokens). Longer documents are automatically truncated to the 40,000-character limit before rewriting.
- Output is plain rewritten text, not a re-typeset PDF — the original layout, fonts, and images aren't reproduced.

PDFly extracts the PDF text in your browser. The extracted text is then sent to PDFly's server, which forwards it to Google Gemini to generate the rewritten text. The original PDF file is not uploaded; see the Privacy page for current data-handling details.
