What this paraphrasing tool does
This free paraphrasing tool takes up to 2,000 characters at a time. Pick a mode (there are five), press Paraphrase, and two to six seconds later, most days, a rewrite shows up. Same meaning. Other words.
Where does the work happen? On an AI model through our server. Our counters run in your browser. This one cannot, because a language model writes the result.
You get a Copy button and a Regenerate button. Press Regenerate and you get a second try at the same text.
Signed out? You will see a badge instead of a result. You need a free account and a verified email, and then the badge counts down your 10 free AI runs for the day. No card.
Me? I feed it the cover letter paragraph that won't stop, or a resume bullet that has gone out to three employers and needs fresh words before employer number four. Students bring essay paragraphs. Same five modes.
One cover letter paragraph, four ways
Here is a sentence I wrote for a sample cover letter, typed the way people type when they describe their job in one breath. 55 words. One sentence. Three numbers.
"In my current role at a regional logistics company I am responsible for the scheduling of 22 drivers and I also deal with customer complaints, of which there are around 40 per week, and over the last year I was able to bring the average response time down from two days to the same day."
Confession first. My copy of the site has no AI key in it, so for this page the button did nothing.
So I did the four versions by hand, sticking to the orders the tool hands the model. Keep the meaning. Keep the facts, names, numbers. US English. Return the rewrite and nothing else.
Yours will word things differently. Checking it works the same way.
Standard, 56 words in two sentences: "At the regional logistics company where I work now, I am in charge of scheduling for 22 drivers, and I also handle the customer complaints that come in, around 40 of them a week. Over the past year I got the time we take to answer one down from two days to the day it arrives."
Formal, 37 words: "At my current employer, a regional logistics company, I schedule 22 drivers and handle approximately 40 customer complaints each week. Over the past year, I reduced our average response time from two days to the same day."
Concise, 29 words: "I schedule 22 drivers at a regional logistics company and handle about 40 customer complaints a week. Last year I cut average response time from two days to same-day."
Simple, 44 words, six sentences: "I work at a regional logistics company. I set the schedule for 22 drivers. I also answer customer complaints, about 40 a week. Last year I made our average response time faster. It used to take two days. Now we answer the same day."
So what did I look at first? The numbers. 22, 40, two days to the same day. All four kept them.
Then the verbs. "Responsible for the scheduling" turned into "schedule". Same claim, fewer words, fine.
Had it turned into "lead a team of 22 drivers", that version would go in the bin. The original never said the drivers reported to me. Setting someone's shifts and managing them are two different claims, and a recruiter asks about the second one in the interview.
Which one would I paste into the letter? Concise. Standard kept the shape of my thought, so a sentence that was too long is still a bit too long. Cut first. Then reword.
Pick a mode
- Standard keeps the tone and roughly the length. Good for a line that's right on paper and wrong out loud.
- Formal wants cover-letter or business-email language. Came here to make it formal? This is the button.
- Simple asks for plain English a 14-year-old could read, in brief sentences. Handy when I need to simplify text for a recruiter outside my field, or when a job posting reads like a contract.
- Concise asks for about a third cut, with every key point kept.
- Academic asks for essay register, keeps the technical terms, drops the contractions. "Regression" stays "regression".
Every mode is told the same two things on top: keep your paragraph breaks, and send back nothing but the rewritten text. No notes. No quotation marks.
Reword job-search text without changing the facts
- One paragraph or one bullet per run. 2,000 characters? Roughly 300 words. A whole letter in one go gives you more to check and a weaker check.
- Read the rewrite next to the original. Numbers first. Then job titles and company names, letter for letter.
- Watch the verbs. "Helped with" turning into "led" is a promotion you did not get. "Handled" turning into "managed" is already a stretch.
- Skill names from the posting keep the posting's spelling. Recruiters and tracking software search for "Salesforce", and a rewrite may say "the CRM". The ATS resume checker lists the posting terms your resume still lacks.
- Sounds like nobody you know? Press Regenerate, or keep your own line. Ten rewritten bullets, with the reasoning behind each, are in our guide to resume bullet points.
- Last stop: the AI writing checker. It flags the tells, like sentences all the same length or stock phrases, and it never sends your text anywhere; it all stays in your browser.
Free paraphrasing tool limits, read off the code
- You need a free account, email verified. The 10 runs a day are shared: this paraphraser and every other AI tool here draw on the same pot. Days run on UTC, so the reset comes at midnight UTC. In New York that's 7 in the evening in winter.
- Each paste: 20 characters at the least, 2,000 at most. Nobody, paying or not, gets more than 10 requests a minute.
- Pro gets 200 runs a day, 10,000 characters a box, plus History, which holds on to your runs for up to 90 days. Prices? On the pricing page.
- Already paying an AI provider? Put your own key in under Account, then AI keys. The daily cap goes away. The per-minute one doesn't.
- Ads on the free pages pay for the free runs.
What leaves your device
Two things leave: what's in the box, and your mode. Our server gets them, bolts on the fixed instructions, and hands the lot to an AI provider, which writes the rewrite.
Which providers? The privacy policy lists them. Your name, email and account ID stay with us; the provider sees the text only.
On our side, each run leaves one log row, filed under your account. It says which tool, which provider and model, our key or yours, tokens in and out, time taken, worked or failed, and a hashed IP address. Your text isn't in it.
The daily count is separate: one counter per account per UTC day, and the number goes up by one on each run.
The text itself is stored in two cases. You are on Pro with History switched on, or you file the draft against an application in your account workspace. Otherwise it is gone once the result is on your screen. We never use it to train a model.
What it will not do
- Make copied text yours. The idea still belongs to its author after a paraphrase. Purdue OWL's handout is plain about it: attribute the source anyway. So cite it.
- Hide the source. In Standard mode the sentences tend to come back in the order you pasted them, so a rewrite of someone's passage can still share a long run of words with it. Our guide on how to paraphrase without plagiarizing counts those runs on a real passage.
- Spin an article. People who search for an article spinner expect synonym swaps, word by word. This rewrites the whole passage, and there is a daily cap.
- Guarantee a figure. It is told to keep every number. A language model can still drop or change one. Read it.
- Cut more than about a third. Long text you want down to its key points? That is the text summarizer. A letter written from scratch? The cover letter generator starts from the posting and your own highlights.
Students: your course sets the rule
Every school has its own AI policy, and one course can differ from the next. Check the assignment before you paraphrase online, with us or anyone. If it asks you to say you used a tool, say it.
You get a draft back. What you hand in has to be yours.

FAQ
Does paraphrasing make text plagiarism-free?
No. Somebody else's idea in new words, uncited, is still plagiarism, and no tool can promise you a plagiarism free rewrite. Cite it. Point the rewriter at your own writing.
Which mode should I use for a cover letter?
Formal, since it asks for business language. My hand-made Formal take on the 55-word paragraph up top came to 37 words with all three numbers still there.
Will it keep my numbers, names and job titles?
It's told to. I check anyway, in this order: numbers, dates, job titles, company names. That's the spot where a promotion you never got sneaks onto a resume.
Can I paraphrase a job description into my resume?
Sure, for reading. Put a dense posting through Simple, understand it, close it, then describe your work in your words. Copy the skill names letter for letter though. A recruiter searches "Salesforce". A rewrite that says "the CRM" never shows up.
How much text can I paste at once?
On the free plan, 20 to 2,000 characters, so about 300 words. Pro goes to 10,000. I keep it to a paragraph a run anyway. Easier to hold each rewrite up against mine.
How do I reword my essay in my own words?
Academic mode, a paragraph per go. Put it beside yours. Lines that sound like you can stay; the rest, redo from memory. Add the citation. Then hand in your version.
How do I rephrase a sentence?
Paste it in (20 characters or more), leave Standard on and press Paraphrase. Standard is the sentence rewriter that keeps length and tone. Shorter is Concise, plainer is Simple, and a work email wants Formal.
