How does this save me tokens?

A raw PDF dump is full of page numbers, broken words, and stray whitespace that all cost tokens. This cleans it up and shows the exact GPT token count before and after, typically a 10-30% reduction, so your prompt is cheaper and leaves more room for the answer.

Are the token counts accurate?

The GPT count is exact, computed with the same BPE tokenizer GPT-4o uses, right in your browser. Claude and Gemini counts are close approximations since their tokenizers are not public.

No. The text is extracted with pdf.js and tokenized locally. Your document never leaves your device, which matters when it is a contract, medical record, or anything confidential you would not paste into a random website.

What about scanned PDFs?

Scans are images, so there is no selectable text to extract. Run the OCR tool first, then bring the result here.
