What the Paraphrasing Tool does
Paraphrasing means saying the same thing in a different way. It is a core skill for summarising sources in your own words, explaining something to a new audience or avoiding a paragraph that echoes another too closely. The paraphrasing tool rebuilds sentences with new structure and vocabulary while keeping every idea and fact from the original.
It changes more than individual words, so the result reads as genuinely restated rather than lightly edited. Use tone and length options to make the paraphrase more formal, simpler or shorter. If you paraphrase a source for coursework or publishing, you still need to cite it, because the ideas belong to the original author even when the words are new.
How to use it
01
Paste the text you want restated.
02
Choose tone and length, then press Paraphrase.
03
Check the meaning matches and cite the original source if you use it.

Questions
Do I still need to cite paraphrased text?
Yes. Paraphrasing changes the wording, not the source of the ideas. Cite the original in academic or published work.
How is this different from rewording?
Paraphrasing restructures sentences as well as changing vocabulary. Rewording keeps your structure and mainly swaps words.
Will it keep facts and numbers?
Yes. Figures, names and key terms are kept accurate; only the expression changes.
How much text can I paraphrase?
Up to 12,000 characters at a time. Paste longer documents in parts.
