"Talk to your documents—ChatPDF handles PDFs, Word, PowerPoint with OCR and cited answers."
Chat with PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, and Markdown files. OCR support, multi-document folders, cited sources, and side-by-side view.
ChatPDF excels at one thing: conversational document analysis. The addition of Word/PowerPoint support, OCR for scanned documents, and multi-document folders makes it more versatile than ever. No-signup free tier remains the fastest onboarding in the category.
What We Love:
• No signup required—upload and chat immediately with the free tier
• OCR handles scanned documents and printed PDFs
• Multi-format support now includes Word, PowerPoint, and Markdown
• Cited sources link to exact locations in the original document
What Could Be Better:
• Free tier limited to 2 PDFs/day with 120-page max per file
• Complex tables and charts remain challenging for AI interpretation
• Plus at $19.99/month is expensive for a single-purpose tool
• Large documents take time to process before chatting
Who Should Use It:
Researchers analyzing academic papers, students studying textbooks, legal professionals reviewing contracts, and analysts digesting reports. Multi-document folders enable powerful cross-referencing.
ChatPDF supports PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Markdown (.md), and Text (.txt) files. OCR handles scanned documents and images, making printed PDFs searchable and chattable.
Free tier: 2 PDFs/day, max 120 pages/10 MB per file, 50 questions/day, no signup needed. Plus ($19.99/mo or ~$11.66 annual): unlimited docs, 2,000 pages/32 MB per file, unlimited questions, multi-doc folders.
ChatPDF provides cited sources with every answer, linking to exact text in the document. This grounding reduces hallucinations. Complex tables, charts, and heavily formatted content may still be challenging to interpret.
Yes—Plus plan supports multi-document folders. Upload several files and ask questions across all of them for cross-referencing, comparing research papers, or analyzing related reports together.
