AI rewriter

What an AI rewriter actually does

It takes text you already have and gives it back in different words, with the same meaning. That is the whole job. It is not writing for you, not researching for you and not deciding what your piece should say — it is the step after you have said something and before you are happy with how you said it.

How to rewrite text here

Three steps, and the third is the one people skip.

Paste what you have

Type it, paste it, or upload a PDF, DOCX, TXT or Markdown file. A sentence, a paragraph or a section of an article — whatever the unit is that you actually want changed.

Choose how far to move it

Standard is selected and rewords without changing your register. The synonyms slider sets how hard it pushes. Keep Protect names & numbers on, and freeze any term that must survive word for word.

Read what changed

Every changed word comes back highlighted against your original. Click one for alternatives, edit the result in place, run it again for a different version, or step back to an earlier one.

Before and after, unedited

A real run of this rewriter on a stiff customer notice, printed exactly as it came back.

Your text95 words

We are writing to inform you that, effective as of the first of next month, there will be a change to the way in which support requests are to be submitted. Going forward, all requests must be submitted via the portal, as email submissions will no longer be monitored. It is our belief that this change will result in faster response times for the majority of our customers, as requests submitted through the portal are automatically routed to the team best placed to deal with them, rather than being manually triaged by a single individual.

Standard mode71 words

We wish to inform you that, starting on the first of next month, the process for submitting support requests will change. From then on, all requests must be entered through the portal, as email submissions will no longer be monitored. We believe this will lead to quicker response times for most customers, since portal submissions are automatically directed to the appropriate team instead of being manually triaged by a single person.

Ninety-five words in, seventy-one out, with nothing dropped — the saving is almost all padding. Generated by this rewriter on 19 September 2026 in Standard mode at Balanced strength with Protect names & numbers on, printed here unedited.

Rewriter, paraphraser, summarizer, humanizer

Four tools people reach for interchangeably, and the one question that separates them: what do you want to be true of the result?

Rewriter and paraphraserThe same tool under two names, and this page and the AI paraphrasing tool are the same workspace. Same length, same meaning, different words. “Paraphraser” is the word academic writing uses; “rewriter” is the word people use for blog posts and articles. Neither name describes a different machine.
SummarizerShorter, and deliberately incomplete. A summary throws away detail on purpose; a rewrite keeps all of it. If you want the gist, you do not want a rewriter.
HumanizerSame meaning, aimed at a different register — less even, less polished, more like a person typing. The AI humanizer is the tool for that; a rewriter produces its own tidy voice and is not trying to sound like anyone.
Grammar checkerIt marks what is wrong. A rewriter changes wording that is not wrong at all, which is why the grammar checker is the better first stop when a sentence has an actual error in it.

Six free modes, and when each one earns its place

Standard is the default and the right answer most of the time. The other five are for when it is not.

StandardRewords and leaves your register alone. Use it unless you have a reason not to — every example on these pages was produced with it.
FluencyFixes the grammar a second-language writer trips on and smooths the rhythm, changing as little else as possible. Use it when the sentence is right and reads wrong.
FormalLifts the register for a report, an application or a client-facing document. It will make a blog post sound like a policy, so keep it away from one.
SimplePlainer words and shorter sentences, for a general reader. The honest fix for writing nobody can follow.
ShortenCuts length on purpose. Standard sometimes shortens as a side effect; Shorten does it deliberately.
ExpandAdds explanation to something too compressed — useful on notes, dangerous on anything already padded.

Academic, Creative and Custom are part of Pro and sit in the same mode menu. What Pro includes.

Rewriting something long

The instinct is to paste the whole thing. It is the wrong instinct, and not because of the word limit.

Work in sectionsA heading and the paragraphs under it, usually 150 to 400 words. You can check a section against its original in under a minute; you cannot do that with 2,000 words at once, so you will not, and things will get through.
Freeze what must not moveProduct names, a phrase you rank for, a quotation, a defined term. Click it and freeze it and it survives every pass, in every mode.
Watch for specifics going softThe most common quality loss in a long rewrite is a concrete noun turning general. In one of the runs on the article rewriter page, “It is the box” came back as “The culprit is often the packaging”. Smoother, vaguer, and worth putting back.
Read it once end to end afterwardsSection-by-section rewriting can leave two sections using different words for the same thing. One final read catches it.

What a rewriter cannot do for you

Worth knowing before you expect it, because none of these are settings you have missed.

Restructure your argumentIt rewords sentences in the order you sent them. If the piece is in the wrong order, or the third paragraph should have been the first, no rewrite will tell you.
Add anything it does not haveIt will not fetch a source, check a claim or notice that a figure is missing. A well-worded paragraph with no evidence in it is still a paragraph with no evidence in it.
Guarantee a British or American spellingWith the language on Auto it sometimes switches: in a run recorded on the essay rewriter page, “neighbourhoods” came back as “neighborhoods”. Set the language explicitly and check the result.
Leave your typography aloneValues are protected; their formatting is not. In the same run, “4 degrees Celsius” came back as “4 °C” and “62%” as “62 %”. The numbers were right; the symbols had moved.
Make a text stop reading as AI-writtenThat is a different job with a different tool. Our AI detector will tell you how a draft reads, and the humanizer is what is built to change it.

Your own draft, or somebody else’s

The line matters more than any setting on this page, so it is worth being plain about it.

Your own draftRewrite it as much as you like. It is your writing, and a rewriter is the same category of help as a thesaurus or a colleague reading it back to you.
Someone else’s essay or articleRewording it does not make it yours. What is borrowed is the idea and the structure, and changing the words only makes the borrowing harder to see. For coursework that is plagiarism; for a published article it is a copyright question that a rewrite does not answer. Write from sources, cite them, and quote them where the words themselves matter.
QuotationsA direct quotation must survive word for word, or it stops being a quotation. Freeze it before you run anything.

AI rewriter FAQs

Is the AI rewriter free?

Yes. You can rewrite without an account within the per-request word allowance shown next to the editor, and a free account raises it. Pro removes the guest limits and the ads and adds the Academic, Creative and Custom modes and the Extensive synonyms level. There is no separate charge for the rewriter: it shares one allowance with the paraphraser, because it is the same tool.

What is the difference between an AI rewriter and an AI paraphraser?

Nothing, in practice. Both mean: same meaning, different words, roughly the same length. “Paraphrase” is the word used in academic writing, where the point is to restate a source in your own words; “rewrite” is the word used for blog posts, articles and marketing copy. Every serious tool in this category runs both names off one engine, and so do we — this page and the paraphrasing tool are the same workspace.

Will it keep my names, numbers and citations?

Yes, with Protect names & numbers on, which it is by default. A figure, a date, a citation or an organisation stays exactly as written while the sentence is rebuilt around it, and you can freeze any other term by clicking it. Check the result anyway: the values are protected but their formatting is not, so a unit or a percent sign can come back written differently.

How much text can I rewrite at once?

The per-request allowance is shown beside the editor and depends on your plan. Whatever it is, sections rather than whole documents produce better results, because you can actually check what changed.

Is my text stored?

No. It is processed and discarded. We keep a word count against your allowance and nothing else, and nothing you paste is used for training.

Can I see exactly what it changed?

Yes, and it is the point. Every changed word is highlighted against your original, you can switch back to the original to compare, click any highlighted word for alternatives, edit the result in place, and step back to an earlier version.

After the rewrite

Check the grammar of the result, shift its register with the tone changer, or compare the two versions side by side. One plan covers every tool.

AI rewriter pages for every kind of writing

Pick the page that matches what you are rewriting — a sentence, a paragraph, an essay, an article or a blog post — or the one that matches how far you want the text moved. Every page runs this same rewriter, shows a real before-and-after it produced, and explains what it changes and what it leaves alone. Standard is the default everywhere in this family; Fluency, Formal, Simple, Shorten and Expand are free too, and Academic, Creative and Custom are part of Pro. The AI paraphrasing tool is the same rewriter under its other name.
