Free AI Paraphrasing Tool

Paraphrasing modes

Standard swaps some words for close synonyms and trims wordy phrases. Fluent removes stock phrases and filler transitions. Formal expands contractions and uses a more formal register. Simple uses plainer words and shorter sentences. Creative swaps more words and reorders some clauses.

Paraphrasing a source does not remove the need to cite it. Always credit the original author.

When to use each mode

Use Standard for a light rewording that stays close to the original. Fluent is best when a passage is padded with stock phrases and filler transitions. Formal expands contractions and raises the register for reports, applications and academic work. Simple shortens sentences and swaps difficult words for common ones, which helps with study notes and explanations for a general audience. Creative swaps more words and reorders some clauses for marketing and social copy.

Paraphrasing for study and research

A good paraphrase shows you understood a source. Read the original, close it, write the idea in your own words, then compare. Use the tool to check alternative ways of expressing the idea, not to skip the reading.

Always keep the citation. Changing the words does not change who had the idea, and most academic integrity policies treat an uncited paraphrase as plagiarism.

Check meaning after every rewrite

Automated rewording can shift nuance: “may increase” can become “increases,” or a qualifier can disappear. Compare key claims, numbers and technical terms with the original before you use the result.
