Free paraphrasing tool
Tip: press Ctrl + Enter to paraphrase.
01 · Why rewrite
The first draft is where you work out what you want to say. The second is where you say it well. The trouble is that rewriting your own words is hard: you already know what you meant, so your eyes slide straight past the clumsy parts.
A paraphrasing tool gives you a second draft to react to. Sometimes you’ll take it exactly as it is. More often you’ll keep half of it, change a word back, and end up with something better than either version. That’s the whole idea. It isn’t here to write for you. It’s here to show you another way of saying the same thing, so that you can choose.
People use it to fix a sentence that won’t sit right, to make an email sound less blunt, to bring a paragraph under a word limit, or to explain something technical to someone who isn’t. All of those come down to the same job: keep the meaning, change the wording. Paste your text into the box above and you’ll have a new version in a few seconds.
02 · Styles
Each style is a different set of instructions. Here’s what they do, with a real example of each.
The everyday option. It swaps words and reshapes sentences while keeping the length and tone close to yours. If you’re not sure which style you need, start here.
BeforeThe meeting has been moved to Thursday because half the team is out on Wednesday.
AfterSince half the team will be away on Wednesday, we’ve pushed the meeting to Thursday.
For drafts that sound machine-made. It loosens the rhythm, cuts the stock phrases and swaps buzzwords for plain ones, so the text reads like a person wrote it.
BeforeIn today’s fast-paced world, it is important to note that effective communication plays a crucial role in fostering success.
AfterClear communication goes a long way towards success.
For text that’s understandable but clunky. It smooths out awkward phrasing, fixes small grammar slips and cuts repetition. Very handy when you’re writing in a language that isn’t your first.
BeforeI am writing for informing you that the order you did is shipped yesterday.
AfterI’m writing to let you know that your order was shipped yesterday.
For work emails, applications and reports. Slang and contractions go, and the tone becomes polite and businesslike without sounding stiff.
BeforeHey, can you send me the numbers by Friday? Need them for the report.
AfterCould you please send me the figures by Friday? I need them to complete the report.
For readers who are new to a topic, reading in a second language, or short on time. Long words become short ones and long sentences are split up.
BeforeThe medication should be administered twice daily, contingent upon the absence of adverse gastrointestinal reactions.
AfterTake the medicine twice a day, as long as it doesn’t upset your stomach.
For blog posts, captions and product descriptions that need more life. It picks livelier words and varies the rhythm, but every fact stays the same.
BeforeOur café serves coffee and fresh pastries every morning.
AfterStart your morning at our café with a proper cup of coffee and pastries made fresh that day.
For word limits and busy readers. Expect the text to lose roughly a third to a half of its length, with the main points still there.
BeforeAt this point in time, we are not in a position to be able to offer a refund for the item that you purchased.
AfterWe can’t refund your purchase at the moment.
For notes that need to become full sentences, or a reply that came out too short. It adds explanation and linking words around what you wrote, without inventing facts.
BeforeProject delayed. Supplier issue. New date next week.
AfterThe project has been delayed because of a problem with one of our suppliers. We expect to confirm a new completion date next week.
Run your text through Standard first. If it’s too casual, switch to Formal; if it’s too long, try Shorten; if it sounds like a machine wrote it, Humanize. Your text stays in the box while you switch, so trying another style takes a single click.
03 · Humanize AI
Drafted something with ChatGPT or another assistant and it sounds a little too polished, a little too pleased with itself? You’re not imagining it. Machine-written prose has a recognisable cadence, and readers pick up on it long before they could explain why.
Our built-in AI humanizer is the quickest way to fix that. Choose the Humanize style and it rewrites the draft with the irregular rhythm, plain vocabulary and economy of a person who knows what they want to say. It treats the job the way an AI to human text converter should: the ideas stay, the robotic delivery goes.
It’s free, it works in twelve languages including Tagalog, and it won’t pretend to be a magic trick. We don’t promise to beat AI detectors, because no honest tool can. We promise writing that reads well, which is the thing that actually matters to the person on the other end.
Make it sound human in one click, with examples, tips and an honest FAQ.
04 · Tips
A few habits make a real difference to what comes back.
A full paragraph gives the tool context, so it can keep the links between your sentences. A lone phrase with no context tends to come back flat.
Writing to a manager or a client? Formal. Explaining a bill to a customer? Simple. Think about who will read it, not how you feel about the draft.
Every run comes out a little different. If the first version is close but not quite right, press Paraphrase again or try the style next to it.
The tool is told to leave them alone, and it nearly always does. You’re the one sending the text, though, and the highlighted changes make checking quick.
Take the sentences you like from the rewrite and keep your own where yours was better. The strongest results are often half and half.
If a sentence makes you stumble when you say it, it will make your reader stumble too. Fix those first.
05 · Languages
Write in English, Filipino, Urdu, Arabic, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Indonesian, Turkish or Bengali, and leave the output language on “Same as input”. The rewrite comes back in the language you wrote in, in the right script and direction, so Urdu and Arabic read right to left as they should.
You can also pick a different output language. Write a rough draft in the language that comes naturally, choose English, and you get a polished English version back. It’s no substitute for a professional translator on legal or medical documents, but for emails, messages and first drafts it saves a lot of time.
06 · Who it’s for
Tidy up your own notes and drafts so they read clearly, and see new ways to phrase an argument. Keep citing your sources as usual.
Turn a quick draft into an email you’d be happy to send to a client, or trim a report summary so people actually read to the end.
Say what you mean in plain words and let the Fluent style make it sound natural. Compare the two versions and you’ll pick up phrasing as you go.
Get unstuck when every sentence starts to sound the same, and try a few versions of a headline or product blurb before you settle on one.
07 · Fair use
A rewritten sentence is still somebody’s idea. If the idea wasn’t yours, it needs a citation, however different the words are.
Running another person’s essay through a paraphraser and handing it in is plagiarism, and that isn’t what this site is for. Use it on your own writing: your drafts, your notes, your emails.
Used that way, it’s a bit like having a patient editor who will happily suggest another version as many times as you ask. Our guide on paraphrasing without plagiarising explains how to do it properly.
08 · Privacy
We don’t ask who you are, and there’s nothing to sign up for. Your text is sent to the AI model only to produce the rewrite. So that a repeated request comes back instantly, a finished rewrite can be kept for up to seven days. It’s filed under a scrambled code made from your text rather than the text itself, and it’s never linked to you.
Some requests are handled by Google’s free Gemini service. Under Google’s terms, text sent to that service may be used to improve Google’s products.
Please don’t paste passwords, card numbers or anything you wouldn’t put in an ordinary email. The full details are in our privacy policy.
09 · Questions
Yes. There’s no sign-up and no daily credit counter. Each request can be up to 1,000 words, and you can run as many as you need for normal writing. Ads next to the tool cover the running costs.
Every rewrite costs a little to run, and shorter requests come back faster and stay closer to your meaning. If your text is longer, paste it in a section at a time. Splitting at a heading or a paragraph break works best.
It’s told to keep your meaning, facts, names and numbers exactly as they are, and it’s good at that. It can still slip now and then, so read the result before you use it. The highlighted words show you exactly what changed.
Not in readable form, and never linked to you. A finished rewrite may be kept for up to seven days so that the same request comes back instantly. The privacy policy has the details.
On your own work, yes, as long as your course allows help from writing tools. Check the rules first. Rewording someone else’s work and handing it in as yours is plagiarism, whatever tool you use.
To keep the site free there’s a daily limit on running costs, and on very busy days the tool may pause for a short while. Wait a few minutes and try again. Your text stays in the box.
Yes. The site was designed for small screens first. Paste your text, tap a style, and the rewrite appears right under it, ready to copy.
Paste your text, choose a style and see what a second version looks like. It’s free, every time.
