FAQ
Does it work on PDFs?
The extension works on any text visible in your browser, including PDFs opened in Chrome. It does not process downloaded PDF files.
Does it change the meaning of the text?
The AI is instructed to preserve meaning while simplifying language. For critical documents (legal, medical), always have a qualified professional review the original.
What reading levels are available?
Grade 5 (elementary), Grade 8 (middle school), College (university level), and Expert (accurate but clear — ideal for professionals in adjacent fields).
Does it work in other languages?
The tool can simplify text written in major languages including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and others. Select your target language in the extension settings.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?
You don't need to copy, switch tabs, paste, type a prompt, and copy back. Simplify This does it in one highlight-and-click while you stay on the page you're reading.
