About TLDR This
TLDR This takes a URL, pasted text or an uploaded file and returns the core paragraphs. It also pulls out article metadata like author, date, images and reading time, and strips ads and popups so the result reads cleanly. Uploads accept PDF, DOC and DOCX up to 25MB. Extensions cover Chrome and Firefox. Plan prices are not published. For video or audio content you will need a different tool; this one is squarely aimed at written material.
