What is aiPDF?
aiPDF lets people working with books and reports ask questions and obtain summaries. It analyzes multiple PDF or EPUB documents together and retrieves the passages that support an answer.
According to its documentation, aiPDF lets you:
- ask questions about a document
- summarize a book or report
- find passages that support an answer
- analyze multiple documents together
- work with PDF and EPUB files
We file it under AI for documents and PDFs, the category of tools to query and summarise documents, and it also overlaps with aI summarisers. The category lists 11 verified tools on this site.
The publisher is LUMINATION AI LTD., based in United Kingdom.
Who is it for?
It is mostly useful to these profiles: students and researchers. The need it covers is simple to state: query and summarise documents.
aiPDF is a good candidate if:
- you want to try before paying
- you also work from your phone
The best test is a concrete case from your daily work: if the tool does not beat your current method within a week, move on to an alternative.
How much does aiPDF cost?
Pricing model: freemium (limited free use, then paid). A free plan is offered, usually limited in volume or features.
The first paid plan costs $9 per month (Dynamic, listed monthly rate; the page also offers annual billing), according to the pricing page, checked on October 24, 2026.
Per month, that is close to the category median ($9.93 per month, based on tools with a published price).
To estimate what the same work would cost done directly with an AI model, use our API price calculator. Prices change often: always check the official site before subscribing.
Data and privacy
According to its privacy policy, data is processed in several regions depending on the plan.
No export feature is documented: keep a copy of your content elsewhere.
Three habits apply to every AI tool:
- turn off the use of your content for training if the option exists
- use a work account separate from your personal account
- review everything the tool produces before publishing or sending it
