Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI contract review, supported formats, security, and how Contract Explainer works.

What is Contract Explainer?

Contract Explainer is an AI-powered tool that turns legal documents into plain-language summaries. Upload a contract (PDF, DOCX, TXT, or MD) and get a clear overview, risk highlights, and action points before you sign.

How do I understand a contract with Contract Explainer?

Upload your contract, and our AI will extract key terms, flag potential risks, and suggest what to do next. You get a summary in plain English without needing a lawyer for routine review.

What contract types can I analyze?

We support leases, employment agreements, NDAs, service agreements, freelance contracts, and general business contracts. Upload any text-based contract (PDF or Word) and the AI will analyze it.

What file formats are supported?

We accept PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT, and MD files. Text-based PDFs and Word documents work best. Scanned documents (image PDFs) may have lower extraction quality.

Is my contract data secure?

Yes. We use TLS encryption in transit and secure storage. Document data is processed according to our privacy and security policies. See our Security and Privacy pages for details.

Does Contract Explainer replace a lawyer?

No. Contract Explainer gives you a quick overview and highlights to help you decide if you need a lawyer. For binding legal advice, always consult a qualified attorney.

Can I get my lease agreement explained?

Yes. Upload your lease (PDF or Word) and we'll summarize key terms like rent, duration, deposits, termination, and maintenance. We'll flag clauses that may need closer review.

How does AI contract review work?

Our AI reads the contract text, identifies important clauses, and generates a structured summary with risks, obligations, and suggested next steps. You can also ask follow-up questions in the analysis view.
