Online paraphrasing tool

Paraphrasing that changes the tone, not the message

A good paraphrasing tool is not a thesaurus. Pontbot reshapes the style and structure of your text: more academic, more formal, simpler, shorter or more detailed. It leaves the substance alone. Facts, figures, proper nouns and citations come through word for word.

You decide how much the text should change. The lightest level only fixes grammar; the strongest rewrites it sentence by sentence. We highlight what changed in the result, and you can run our AI detector on it with a single click.

How to paraphrase your text

Paste, choose two settings, and read the result.

  1. 1

    Paste your text

    Paste it into the box on the left or upload a .docx, .pdf, .txt or .md file. Your paragraph structure is preserved.

  2. 2

    Pick a style

    Choose from seven styles: neutral, more human, formal, academic, simple, shorten and expand.

  3. 3

    Set the strength

    Light, medium, strong or maximum, depending on whether you want a quick polish or a completely new wording.

  4. 4

    Review and keep going

    Highlighting shows every change. Copy the result, paraphrase it again, or run the AI detector on it.

Seven styles, four strengths

Exactly the version you need, from the same text

An assignment needs an academic tone, a formal letter needs polish, a blog post needs to feel easy. Style and strength are separate settings, so you can ask for a light academic polish or a full rewrite in plain language.

  • Academic: objective, precise and appropriately hedged, with impersonal constructions
  • Shorten and expand: adjust the length without losing a single claim or adding new ones
  • More human: removes stock, mechanical phrasing and gives the text a more natural rhythm

See what changed

Highlighted changes and a measurable difference from the original

We highlight the parts of the rewritten text that changed and show how much of it is different and how similar it still is to the original. No need to compare the two versions line by line: you see at a glance where the tool touched your text.

  • Highlighting can be switched on and off
  • Rewrite rate and similarity to the original, in percent
  • “Keep working with it”: turn the result into new input in one click

Original

I think it’s really important that companies look after their staff because then they work better, and my research showed this too.

Academic style44% rewritten

The findings suggest that attention to employee well-being makes a meaningful contribution to performance.

What never changes

Meaning, figures and citations stay untouched

The most common paraphrasing error is a tool that “corrects” a figure or invents a claim. Pontbot’s paraphraser preserves what must not change in every style and at every strength, and always answers in the language of your input. It does not translate.

  • Numbers, dates, units and percentages exactly as given
  • Citations verbatim: (Brown, 2020), [12], DOIs, URLs
  • Quoted passages word for word, same number and order of paragraphs

Always preserved

  • Figures: 23.4%, 2019–2024
  • Citations: (Brown, 2020), [12]
  • Quotations: “…” word for word
  • Paragraphs: 4 → 4

The language stays the same too: English in, English out.

What people use it for

Anywhere the message is there but the wording is not quite right yet.

Polishing essays and theses

Turn your own draft into academic prose, or trim an overlong chapter to fit the word limit. Your citations stay where they are.

Formal letters and applications

A quickly written email or cover letter becomes polished, courteous and still clear.

Content and marketing

Repurpose an existing article for another channel and tone: simpler for social media, more detailed for the blog.

Clearer explanations

Simplify technical text for lay readers, clients or students without distorting the content.

Honestly

What paraphrasing does not solve

The paraphraser helps with wording. You remain responsible for the content and the sources.

  • Paraphrasing does not replace citation. If an idea comes from someone else, the source must be credited even in your own words. Rewriting someone else’s work and submitting it as your own is plagiarism.
  • If your university or employer regulates the use of AI, those rules also apply to paraphrased text.
  • Always read the result. Very strong rewriting can occasionally shift a nuance, especially in technical writing.
  • Each run processes text up to the length your plan allows. Longer material is best paraphrased section by section.

Paraphrasing tool FAQ

How it works and what to keep in mind.

Is the paraphrasing tool free?

When you sign up you get 3,000 characters of free credit to use on the paraphraser and the other tools. One character costs one credit. For regular use, the paid plans offer a larger allowance and longer texts.

How much text can I paraphrase at once?

1,500 characters per run on the free tier, and up to 20,000 characters on a paid plan. If you paste more, the interface tells you how much was processed.

Does it change the meaning of my text?

It must not, and specific rules enforce this: it never adds or removes facts, claims or conclusions, and it leaves figures, names and citations unchanged. At the strongest levels it is worth reading the result, because a nuance can shift.

What is the difference between the strength levels?

Light essentially fixes grammar and typos only. Medium reworks part of the vocabulary and about half the sentences. Strong gives almost every sentence a new structure. Maximum rephrases each paragraph from scratch while keeping the message.

Does it translate my text?

No. The paraphraser always answers in the language of the input: English in, English out. Use a translation tool for translation.

Will the paraphrased text pass an AI detector?

We do not promise that, and it is not what the tool is for. The “More human” style replaces mechanical, stock phrasing with more natural wording, which makes the text easier to read. You can run our AI detector on the result in one click and see for yourself.

What does the rewrite rate mean?

It shows what percentage of the paraphrased text differs from the original and how similar it still is. The highlighting shows exactly which parts changed.

Can I use it for my thesis?

Yes, to polish your own writing, for example into an academic register, or to condense a chapter that is too long. Keep two things in mind: ideas from other sources still need citing when reworded, and follow your university’s rules on AI use, including any required AI-use declaration.

Seven styles and four strengths. The message, the figures and the citations stay where they are.
