- Read it carefully, change anything that doesn't sound like you, and press Copy.
How the paraphrasing tool works
The tool sends your text to an AI language model with a fixed instruction: rewrite the text in your own words in the chosen style, keep the meaning, facts and names unchanged, and return only the rewritten text. The model writes a fresh version rather than swapping words one by one, so the result usually reads more naturally than a synonym-based rewriter.
Unlike our other tools, the paraphraser needs a server, so your text is sent securely to our AI provider and is not stored by us. To keep it free, each visitor can make a limited number of requests per hour.
The logic
Each request contains your text, inside clear markers, and this instruction: "Rewrite the following text in your own words in a {style} style. Keep the meaning, facts and names unchanged. Return only the rewritten text." The style is standard, fluent, formal, simple or shorter.
Requests over 1,500 words are refused, as are requests beyond the hourly limit for your connection or the site's daily limit.
Example
Take the sentence "The meeting has been postponed until next Thursday because several team members are travelling." In the Simple style, a typical result is "The meeting is moved to next Thursday because some of the team are away." The day stays the same.
In the Formal style, the same sentence might become "The meeting has been rescheduled for next Thursday, as several members of the team will be travelling." Results vary slightly each time you run it.
Tips and common mistakes
Always cite your sources
If you use someone else's ideas, you still need to cite the source. Paraphrasing changes the words, not who the idea belongs to.
Check facts and names
AI rewrites are usually accurate, but read every sentence and compare numbers, names and dates with your original.
Make it your own
Treat the result as a draft. Adding your own examples and voice makes the writing clearer and more original.
Compare with the original
Use the text similarity checker to see how much wording the rewrite still shares with your source.
Work in sections
Check length with the word counter. Splitting a long document into sections also gives better rewrites.
Frequently asked questions

Is my text stored?
No. It is sent to our AI provider to be rewritten and returned to you. We don't keep a copy.

Why did I see a limit message?
Each connection can make a set number of rewrites per hour, and the site has a daily cap. Wait a while and try again.
