Eleven rewriting modes
Standard, fluency, formal, academic, simple, creative, expand, shorten and more — plus custom instructions. The full set of modes comes with Pro.
Academic paraphrasing tool with sentence-level control
Paraphrasing well means saying the same thing in your own words — not swapping synonyms until the sentence stops making sense. The paraphraser rewrites in the mode you need, then lets you refine it one sentence at a time, with the readability and similarity change shown before you accept anything.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is paraphrasing plagiarism?
Paraphrasing someone else's idea without citing them is still plagiarism. Paraphrase to explain a source in your own words, and cite the source. Use the Citation Finder if you need the reference.
Will it keep my citations and formulas?
Yes — add them to the frozen-terms list and they come back exactly as written.
What is the difference from the AI Humanizer?
The paraphraser rewords text you choose, with fine control per sentence. The AI Humanizer is built to make whole AI-assisted drafts read naturally in your voice.
Can I paraphrase a whole document?
Yes. Bulk mode paraphrases paragraph by paragraph so long documents keep their structure.
Is it free?
Every tool opens on the free plan: a free account gets 50 tokens every month. Longer documents, downloads and some advanced modes need a paid plan — the tool tells you when you reach one.
