How to summarise the current webpage
Updated July 2026
Copy the URL from your browser's address bar, paste it into the summariser above, and Scholarly fetches that exact page and writes a structured summary grounded in its actual text. There is nothing to install - it works the same in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and on your phone.
1
Copy the address of the page you're reading - press Ctrl+L (or Cmd+L on a Mac) to select the address bar, then copy.
2
Paste the URL into Scholarly and pick the language you want the summary in.
3
Read the summary, then keep going: ask follow-up questions in chat and get answers cited back to the page itself.
Copying the page's URL in any browser
Chrome or Edge: press Ctrl+L (Cmd+L on a Mac) to highlight the address bar, then Ctrl+C / Cmd+C to copy the current page's URL.
Safari: click the address bar (tap it on iPhone) and choose Copy - Safari copies the full address of the page you're on.
On your phone: tap the browser's share button and choose "Copy Link", then open Scholarly in a new tab and paste.
No Chrome extension required
Extensions that summarise "the current page" need permission to read every page you visit. Scholarly flips that: you hand it one URL at a time, so it only ever sees the pages you deliberately choose to study.

How it works
From URL to study notes in three steps
No copy-paste, no formatting cleanup - just a link and a language.
01
Provide a URL
Paste a direct link to the website or article you want to summarise.
02
AI fetches & converts
Our AI fetches the webpage content and converts it into a readable format for analysis.
03
Get a study summary
Receive a structured summary. Sign up to save summaries and access more AI tools.
Built for students & professionals
More than a quick summary
Every summary is shaped for studying the source, not just skimming it.
Instant summaries
Drop in a link and get a clean, structured summary in seconds - no waiting on the full read.
Structured for studying
Key ideas, terms, and examples are organised into sections you can actually revise from.
70+ languages
Summarise in English or any of dozens of languages, or auto-detect the page's own language.
Works on real sources
Articles, documentation, research explainers, blog posts, and course pages all work.
Keep studying the source
Turn any summary into flashcards, cheat sheets, and full Summaries without starting over.
Save and export
Download your summary as Markdown or save it to your workspace for later review.
Summary types
What kind of summary can you make from a website?
One source, several outputs - pick the format that matches what you need to do next.
TL;DR overview
A few tight sentences with the page's core argument - enough to decide whether the source deserves a full read.
Bullet study notes
Structured notes with key ideas, terms, and examples, organised into sections you can revise from directly.
Flashcards from the page
Turn the webpage into a spaced-repetition deck so the material actually sticks instead of just getting skimmed.
Practice quiz
Generate questions that test whether you understood the page's concepts, then check your answers against the source.
Best for students and professionals researching from the web
Class readings
Summarise articles, textbook companion pages, and assigned web readings before discussion sections.
Research projects
Get a fast overview of sources before deciding which pages deserve a deeper read.
Lecture follow-up
Condense links from slides, LMS pages, and instructor resources into study-ready notes.
Exam review
Turn long web pages into concise summaries you can convert into flashcards, cheat sheets, and full Summaries.
Why it works
Turn webpages into study notes
Use Scholarly when you need to summarise the current webpage, a class reading, a news article, or a research source without losing the useful details. The AI website summariser turns long pages into structured notes you can review before class, save for later, or use as a starting point for flashcards and full Summaries.
Instead of copying paragraphs into a generic chat, paste the URL and choose the summary language. Scholarly focuses the output on what you need next: key ideas, terms, examples, and next steps, whether you're studying the source or briefing a team on it.
Research workflow
How do I summarise multiple webpages into one set of notes?
A real assignment is never one page. In Scholarly, each URL you paste becomes a source in your workspace, so a reading list turns into a folder you can actually work with:
Paste every source - articles, documentation, Wikipedia pages - and summarise each one as you go.
Mix formats freely: webpages sit next to PDFs, recordings, and YouTube videos in the same folder.
Ask questions across all of them at once and get one answer with citations pointing to the exact sources it came from.
Working from videos too? The YouTube summariser feeds the same workspace, so a webpage and the lecture that explains it live side by side.
Privacy
What happens to the pages you summarise?
Scholarly fetches the single URL you paste, extracts the readable text, and generates the summary from it. That is the whole transaction:
No extension watching your tabs - Scholarly never sees a page you didn't paste.
No browsing history collected. You choose every source explicitly.
Sources you save go to your private library, and you can delete them whenever you want.
FAQ
Website summariser FAQ
How do I summarise a website?
Paste the website's URL into Scholarly, pick a summary language, and the AI fetches the page and writes a structured summary from its actual text: key ideas, terms, and the details worth reviewing.
Is the website summariser free?
Yes. You can summarise webpages for free after creating an account, with no credit card required. Premium includes 15 AI Creation Credits each week, unlimited uploads, and higher limits for quizzes and grounded chat on your sources.
Can I summarise the current webpage I'm reading?
Yes. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar (Ctrl+L or Cmd+L selects it), paste it into Scholarly, and you get a study summary of that exact page. It works in any browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or mobile) with nothing to install.
What kinds of webpages work best?
Public articles, educational pages, documentation, research explainers, blog posts, and course resources work best. Pages behind logins or paywalls may not be accessible.
Can I turn a webpage summary into flashcards?
Yes. After summarising, convert the same source into a flashcard deck with spaced repetition, or use the dedicated Website to Flashcards tool to go straight from URL to deck.
Do I need a Chrome extension to summarise a webpage?
No. Extension-based summarisers require permission to read every page you visit. With Scholarly you just paste the URL of the page you want summarised: same result, works in every browser including mobile, and it only ever sees pages you choose.
Can I summarise a news article or blog post?
Yes. News articles, blog posts, documentation, Wikipedia entries, and course pages are exactly what the tool is built for. Paste the article URL and you get the main argument, the key facts, and the context, useful for current-events assignments and source evaluation.
Can I summarise several webpages into one workspace?
Yes. Each URL becomes a source in your Scholarly workspace. Group sources into folders, summarise each one, then chat across all of them at once. Answers come back with citations to the specific pages they came from.
Does Scholarly track my browsing or store the pages I visit?
No. Scholarly only fetches the URLs you explicitly paste; there is no extension and no browsing history involved. Summaries you save are stored in your private library, and you can delete them anytime.
How is this different from pasting a link into a chatbot?
Generic chatbots often can't fetch the page at all, or quietly guess from the title. Scholarly always fetches the real page text, grounds the summary in it, and keeps the page as a source, so you can come back later for flashcards, a quiz, or cited answers instead of re-pasting the link.
How do I summarise a website online for free?
Open the website summariser above, paste the site's URL, choose a language, and get a free AI summary in seconds (no download, no Chrome extension, and no payment to try it). Create a free account to save the summary and build flashcards, quizzes, or grounded chat from the same page.
Can I summarise any webpage, including long articles and documentation?
Yes. The summariser is built to summarise any webpage with readable text: long-form articles, technical documentation, Wikipedia entries, course pages, and blog posts. It fetches the full page (not just the intro), so the summary reflects the whole argument, not only the headline.
How do I summarise the current webpage without an extension?
Copy the current page's URL from the address bar, open Scholarly's website summariser in another tab, and paste the link. Scholarly fetches the page on its servers and returns a structured summary, with no extension, add-on, or install involved, and it works the same in every browser.
Can I summarise a webpage on my phone?
Yes. On iPhone or Android, tap the address bar or the share button to copy the page's link, then open Scholarly in a new tab and paste it into the website summariser. The mobile flow is identical to desktop, with no app to install.
How do I summarise a webpage in Chrome or Safari?
Whether you spell it summarise or summarize, the steps are the same in every browser. In Chrome, press Ctrl+L (Cmd+L on a Mac) to select the address, copy it, and paste it into Scholarly. In Safari, click or tap the address bar and choose Copy, then paste the link here. Scholarly fetches the page and writes the summary.
Is there a free website summariser without signup?
Scholarly asks you to create a free account before it generates your summary. That's what lets it keep the page as a saved source so you can ask follow-up questions or turn it into flashcards later. Signup takes seconds, requires no credit card, and summarising is free to try.
Free makes a lecture of about 2 minutes in 720p with the Scholarly logo, to watch in Scholarly. Premium and Laureate make lectures up to 45 minutes in 1080p that you can download as an MP4, with the logo off if you choose.
