Paraphrasing Tool: what it's good for
Your sentence says the right thing but sounds wrong: too stiff for a text to a friend, too casual for your boss, or too long for a slide. Paste it, pick one of seven modes — Standard, Humanised, Formal, Academic, Plain, Shorter or Fuller — and this free paraphrasing tool rewrites it sentence by sentence, with your original and the new version side by side. The meaning stays; only the wording moves.

Quick answers
- Will the new version still mean the same thing?
- That's the rule the tool works by: phrasing and style change, the ideas don't. Still, read it before using it — a shade of your original wording can shift along the way.
- How do I get the tone I want?
- Choose the mode that fits: Formal for a letter, Plain for a wide audience, Academic for coursework, Shorter to trim, Fuller to expand, Humanised for a more natural rhythm. Standard keeps the same register and length and just changes the words.
- How many rewrites do I get for free?
- You can run 2 rewrites a day at no cost with no account; Premium raises that a long way. The count starts over 24 hours later, and running the same text again gives you a fresh version each time.
- Does the Fuller mode add information?
- No. It develops and spells out what's already in your text, but it doesn't invent new facts. If you need more substance, add it to your original first.
- Is paraphrasing a way around plagiarism?
- Not on its own. Rewording someone else's ideas still means crediting them: paraphrase to write more clearly, and keep citing your sources.
