FAQ from ChatGPT - Chrome Extension
What is ChatGPT - Chrome Extension?
A lightweight, secure browser tool that brings ChatGPT's AI power directly into your workflow—designed specifically to read, understand, and respond to PDFs and web content with human-like precision.
How do I get started with the extension?
After installing from the Chrome Web Store, click the extension icon on any tab to open the AI sidebar. Upload a PDF, highlight text on a webpage, or type your prompt—and begin interacting instantly.
Does it work offline or with encrypted PDFs?
No—it requires an active internet connection for AI processing, and currently supports standard, non-password-protected PDFs. For security, all document processing occurs client-side before encrypted transmission to our privacy-compliant API.
