How to Highlight and Summarize Local PDFs with Glasp

Upload local PDFs, highlight key ideas, add notes, and generate AI summaries—step by step.

We’re excited to announce a new tutorial on Glasp: Highlight & Summarize Local PDF Files with Glasp

With Glasp’s free PDF highlighter, you can upload PDFs from your computer and highlight them right in your browser, the same way you highlight web articles. No PDF reader to install.

Glasp lets you:

• Upload and highlight your own PDFs, with up to 30 files on the free plan

• Add a note to any highlight and organize everything with tags

• Download the PDF with your highlights baked into the file

• Export to Notion, Obsidian, Logseq, and Roam Research

Uploaded PDFs stay private by default, so nobody else sees them.

We keep the full step-by-step guide up to date in one place:
