Distila

About

Distila summarizes the article on the page you're reading — instantly, privately, and entirely on your device.

HOW IT WORKS
Click the Distila icon on any article, choose the type and length of summary you want, and get a clear, readable result in seconds. Copy it to your clipboard with one click and paste it wherever you need it.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Distila runs on Chrome's built-in Summarizer API, powered by Gemini Nano. That means:

- Nothing you read is ever sent to a server. The summary is generated entirely on your device.
- No account, no sign-up, no tracking.
- Works offline once the on-device model is downloaded.

SUMMARY STYLES
Choose the format that fits what you need:
- Key points — a scannable bulleted breakdown
- TL;DR — a quick, plain-language summary

Pick short, medium, or long depending on how much detail you want.

BUILT FOR LONG ARTICLES TOO
Distila automatically handles long-form content by breaking it into sections, summarizing each one, and then condensing everything into a single coherent summary — so you get a useful result even on lengthy articles.

REQUIREMENTS
Distila uses Chrome's on-device AI, which requires Chrome 138 or later on a supported device (Windows, macOS, Linux, or a Chromebook Plus). The underlying Gemini Nano model is downloaded once by Chrome itself.

PERMISSIONS
Distila only reads the content of the tab you're actively viewing when you click its icon. It never runs in the background and never accesses other tabs.
