FAQ

What PDF formats work best?

Standard text-based PDFs work great. If your PDF is scanned, NeatSheet still works but may need a quick check for accuracy.

Can I edit the cheat sheet after it is generated?

Yes. On paid plans, you can refine sections, reorder content, and add your own notes before exporting or sharing.

Will NeatSheet include equations and symbols?

NeatSheet preserves equations and symbols and formats them into a clean study layout using Latex.

How long does it take?

Most PDFs are summarized in a few minutes depending on length and complexity.
