How PDF-to-podcast works
Email the PDF
Attach a PDF up to 50 pages to an email and send it to your private PodBright address. Works from any email client — Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail.
AI reads and rewrites it
PodBright extracts the text, removes formatting noise, and rewrites it for natural listening — not robotic text-to-speech.
Listen in your podcast app
A new episode appears in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, or Pocket Casts within minutes. Pick up where you left off, adjust speed — it's just a podcast.
What kind of PDFs?
If you can email it, PodBright can turn it into a podcast.
AI adapts dense content to your ears
PDFs are often dense and complex. PodBright's AI restructures them for audio — not just reads them out.
Full text or AI summary
Get the complete PDF read aloud, or an AI-condensed summary of the key findings and takeaways.
Control the length
60-page report → 10-minute episode. AI extracts what matters and trims the rest.
Technical depth
Keep all the domain terminology and go deep on concepts, or simplify for a high-level overview.
Everything feeds into one personal podcast
Newsletters, web articles, and supported PDFs all go into one private RSS feed. Add it to your podcast app once, and each successful submission becomes a new episode automatically.
