Why Reduz

A quicker way to get through the things you find online.

Some articles are worth reading word for word. Others just need a few minutes. The same goes for long videos, reports, and PDFs — Reduz helps you decide what’s worth your time.

Get the short version

Summarize articles, PDFs, and YouTube videos without leaving Chrome. Choose a quick list of key points, a readable post, or a more detailed summary.

Use the AI you prefer

Connect Reduz to OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, or Grok using your own API key. You’re free to switch providers whenever you like.

Find it again later

Every summary goes into your browser’s searchable history. Look something up later, or export your summaries as PDF, Markdown, or ZIP files.

Jump to the interesting parts

Summarize a YouTube video’s available captions, complete with timestamps. Click a timestamp to return to that moment in the video.

Make the summary your own

Not everyone wants the same kind of summary. Write and save your own prompts for study notes, research, article drafts, or whatever else you’re working on.

Your information stays with you

Your settings, API keys, and summary history are stored in your browser. Export your summaries whenever you want.
