Rewrite any text in a different style — formal, simple, shorter or longer. Uses synonym substitution and sentence restructuring. Free.
How to use
Paraphrasing vs copying
Paraphrasing means expressing the same idea in different words, not just swapping some words with synonyms. Good paraphrasing restructures sentences, changes word order and uses entirely different vocabulary while preserving the original meaning.
When to use this tool
Use it to see alternative ways of expressing your own writing. Start a paraphrase then heavily edit it. See how changing style (formal vs casual) affects the tone. Identify overly complex sentences that could be simplified. Always treat the output as a first draft, not a finished piece.
