Everything you need to know about your documents, on your Mac
Become better at what you do, by getting insights from your documents
- Any document size
- PDF Squid can handle any number of pages, your questions will always be answered regardless of the size of your document. And, since the processing is done locally, you don't have to worry about the size of your document. It will not be uploaded anywhere!
- Your documents stay private
- PDF Squid does not send your documents to OpenAI and processes everything locally. OpenAI receives only the questions you ask and the textual context strictly needed to answer them. The full document is never uploaded anywhere.
- Powerful Text Extraction
- We want to make sure that PDF Squid can extract text from your documents, even if they are scanned or have a lot of images. We always welcome feedback on how we can improve this, just send us an with your document and we'll take a look.
- No telemetry, no tracking
- We don't put any trackers in our app, we don't collect any data about how you use it. No tools, no tracking, no metrics, we just want you to get the most out of your documents.
