Chat With PDF — Upload, Summarize, Ask Anything
A 200-page research paper? An 80-page contract? Upload it; Ryna AI summarizes in 3 minutes and lets you Q&A over the content. Plus required; free chat available to try.
A typical researcher scans 12 papers a week but reads only 3 in full. The bottleneck isn't time — it's filtering. To find 'where is the main finding' in a 200-page dissertation, do you need to read the whole thing? No. Smart summarization is enough, provided you ask it correctly.
Ryna AI gives you something stronger than 'summarize this PDF': upload the file, then ask anything. 'Termination clauses in this contract', 'Methodological weaknesses of this paper', 'Generate 10 exam questions from chapter 5' — Ryna AI scans the file and returns only what you asked. Upload multiple PDFs in one chat: Ryna AI handles 'what are the differences between these two contracts'.
Supported formats: PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), TXT, even image-heavy scanned PDFs (via OCR). Max file size 50MB, no page limit — but for 500+ page documents, Deep Thinking mode is more reliable. Requires Plus ($12/mo, 399.99 TRY); free chat lets you paste short text for trial, but no file upload.
Why use Ryna AI for this
Question-driven summary: 'what are the payment terms in this contract' returns only that section — not a generic summary.
Multi-file comparison: upload 2-5 PDFs in one chat, ask 'compare these contracts' in a single query.
Page citations: replies include 'as stated on page 47' so you can verify.
OCR for scanned PDFs: handwritten notes, contract scans, old book scans — extracts text even when none is embedded.
Exam-question generation: '10 multiple choice + 5 open-ended from this chapter' — instant practice test.
Word + Excel support: upload report.docx or budget.xlsx, ask 'top 5 expense items in this file?'

How it works — step by step
- 1
Activate Plus
File upload is a Plus feature. $12/mo (399.99 TRY) or yearly. Free chat lets you paste short text for trial, no file upload.
- 2
Upload the file
Drag-drop into the chat or click the attach icon. Supported: PDF (including scanned), Word, Excel, TXT. Max 50MB. Multiple files in one chat work.
- 3
Get a top-level overview
Start with 'summarize this file under 5 main headings' to map what's there. This calibrates you for the targeted questions to ask next.
- 4
Ask specific questions
The real power: 'termination clauses', 'main argument of chapter 4', 'meaning of table 3' — targeted questions. Replies cite quotes and page numbers.
- 5
Compare or synthesize
With multiple files uploaded, ask 'differences in payment terms between these contracts' or 'common methodology across these papers'. Context is shared in one chat.
Example: input → output
You ask
[Customer-supplier contract PDF uploaded] Extract termination, late-payment, and data privacy sections. Flag risky terms.
Ryna AI returns
TERMINATION CLAUSES (p. 8-9, §12) • Mutual termination without cause: 30-day written notice ✓ (standard) • Customer unilateral termination on supplier default ✓ (standard) 🚩 RISK: Customer can terminate citing 'dissatisfaction with deliverables' (§12.4) — highly subjective, very risky for the supplier; renegotiate. LATE PAYMENT (p. 11, §15) • Daily 0.5% penalty, capped at 15% ✓ 🚩 RISK: 'Force majeure' is narrowly defined (§15.2) — pandemic and natural disaster explicitly excluded; expand the definition. DATA PRIVACY (p. 14-16, §18) • KVKK compliance statement ✓ • Data breach notification: 72 hours ✓ (KVKK compliant) 🚩 RISK: Cross-border data transfer clause (§18.5) is unclear — if the supplier hosts data abroad, additional disclosure is needed. SUMMARY: 3 risk points, all negotiable. §12.4 (subjective termination) is most critical — review with counsel.
Pro tips
- First question: 'what's the structure, main section headings'. Maps what to ask next.
- Always request page citations: 'cite the page your answer is based on' — protects against hallucination, lets you verify.
- For multi-file comparison, upload files sequentially then ask 'consider all files together'. Simultaneous uploads can leave the first file dominant.
- For very long PDFs (500+ pages), enable Deep Thinking — better synthesis, less skipping.
- If a scanned PDF's OCR is weak, ask 'flag uncertain extractions'. AI marks unreadable words for you to interpret.
- For Excel, ask pivot-style questions: 'top 10 by X' — faster than building a manual pivot.
Ryna AI vs ChatPDF

|---|---|---|
| Multi-file in one chat | 2-5 files simultaneously, synthesis queries supported | One file per chat |
| Word and Excel support | PDF + Word + Excel + TXT | PDF only |

| Monthly price | Plus $12/mo (all AI features included) | $5/mo (PDF features only) |
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✕Asking generic 'summarize this' — output stays shallow. Ask specifics: 'methodology in section X'.
- ✕Not checking the OCR quality of scanned PDFs. AI guesses on poor scans; verify before relying on the answer.
- ✕Uploading sensitive contracts without masking PII (national ID, IBAN). Ryna AI doesn't use data for marketing, but masking is best practice anyway.
- ✕Not verifying page citations. AI rarely cites 'page 47' when the source was page 12 — verify by checking the page.
- ✕Skipping Deep Thinking on 500+ page documents — standard mode can miss key details on long files.
- ✕Mixing different projects in one chat — context blurs. New project = new chat.

FAQ
Which file formats are supported?
PDF (including scanned + OCR), Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), plain text (.txt), PowerPoint (.pptx). Max 50MB. Image-heavy PDFs auto-OCR.
Is there a page limit?
No page limit, but enable Deep Thinking for 500+ pages — better synthesis, less missed detail. Single file cap is 50MB.
Can I upload multiple files?
Yes — 2-5 files in one chat for comparison queries. 'Differences between these contracts', 'common methodology across these papers', etc.
Are uploaded files kept private?
Yes. Ryna AI doesn't use your files for training, doesn't sell to third parties, KVKK-compliant. For highly sensitive documents (PII), masking is still best practice.
How accurate is OCR on scanned PDFs?
95%+ on good scans (300 DPI+) with clear text. Drops on handwriting, skewed scans, or faded text. Ask 'flag uncertain extractions' to see what the AI guessed at.
Does it cite pages in answers?
Yes — say 'include page citations' and every claim gets a page number. Easy to verify, protects against hallucination.
How deep does Excel analysis go?
Table reading, column analysis, top-N filters, basic sums/averages, YoY comparison work well. Complex pivots and multi-sheet joins are faster in Excel itself.
How do I export the answer to Word or Notion?
Copy-paste. In Word, strip markdown via 'Format → Clear Formatting' (## headers won't render). Notion auto-renders markdown.
