Explainpaper is a web-based AI tool designed to help people read and understand academic papers. You upload a PDF, highlight confusing sections, and the tool explains them in simpler terms.
Academic papers are dense, technical, and time-consuming to read. Explainpaper reduces the friction by helping you quickly grasp unfamiliar methods, terminology, or paragraphs without leaving the paper. It’s especially useful for students, early-career researchers, and professionals reading outside their core expertise.
You upload a research paper (PDF), then highlight any text you don’t understand. Explainpaper uses large language models to generate an explanation tailored to that exact passage.
