From upload to verified answer in seconds
Drop your PDF
Contracts, manuals, research, scanned forms. No account, no upload wall. It opens straight into a reader beside the chat.
Ask anything
Plain questions, follow-ups, summaries. Answers stream back in a calm, readable format, grounded only in your document.
Click to verify
Every claim carries a page citation. Hover to see the exact quote, click to jump to the highlighted passage on the page.
You can check every answer yourself
Citations you can check
Other tools tell you a page number and hope you believe it. We highlight the exact sentence on the exact page. The quote is pulled from your file, so it cannot point at text that is not there.
Scanned documents work
Photographed and scanned PDFs are read natively, no separate OCR step and no paywall. The weak spot of most tools is included here for free.
Private by default
Your file is processed to answer your questions and deleted, not kept and not used to train models. No dark-pattern billing, one-click cancel, ever.
A real reader, not a text dump
Your PDF renders in full beside the chat, formatting and figures intact. Select text, fit the page, and watch citations light up where they belong.
The honest comparison
What you actually get here, next to the typical chat-with-PDF tool.
| Capability | FormsPal PDF Chat | Typical chat-with-PDF tool |
|---|---|---|
| Citations you can click to the exact sentence | Highlighted on the page, every answer | A bare page number, if any |
| Scanned and photographed PDFs | Read natively, no extra charge | Paywalled or unsupported |
| Start without an account | Upload and ask right away | Signup wall first |
| Your file after the session | Deleted, never used to train models | Often retained |
| Cancelling a paid plan | One click, no surprise renewals | Dark-pattern billing |
Questions, answered
Is it really free?
Yes, you can upload and start asking with no account. Larger documents and higher limits come with a paid plan, cancellable in one click with no surprise renewals.
What happens to my document?
It is processed to answer your questions and then deleted. It is not retained and not used to train any model.
How big a PDF can I use?
Up to 600 pages and 32 MB per file. Larger than that, split it first with the free FormsPal PDF tools.
Do scanned PDFs work?
Yes. Scanned and photographed documents are read natively at no extra charge, which is where most competitors fall down.
How accurate are the citations?
Each citation quotes text extracted directly from your file and highlights it in the page, so you can confirm every answer yourself rather than trusting a bare page number.
