About the Paraphrasing Tool
Tezmy's Paraphrasing Tool rewrites your text in different words while keeping what it means. Paste a sentence or a few paragraphs, choose a style and press Paraphrase. Standard gives a fresh version of about the same length, Formal makes it sound professional, Simple uses plain words and short sentences, and Shorter cuts it to roughly half while keeping the key points. It is useful for rewording an email that sounds wrong, simplifying a hard paragraph, or finding a new way to say something you have written many times. The rewriting is done by an open AI model on our server; your text isn't stored.

How to use the Paraphrasing Tool
- 1Paste or type the text you want to rewrite (up to 1,500 characters).
- 2Pick a style: Standard, Formal, Simple or Shorter.
- 3Press Paraphrase and wait a few seconds.
- 4Read the result, press Try again for another version, then copy the one you like.
Choosing the right style
- Standard: when a sentence feels repetitive or clumsy and you just want it said differently.
- Formal: for emails to a manager, a client, a school or a government office.
- Simple: for instructions, notices and posts that everyone should understand at a glance.
- Shorter: for a summary, a social post with a character limit, or a message that got too long.
Tips for better rewrites
- Paste complete sentences; single words or fragments give weaker results.
- Fix obvious typos first, or run the text through the Grammar Checker.
- Press Try again to compare two or three versions, then mix the best parts.
- Keep special terms (product names, legal words) and check they are unchanged.
- For character limits, check the result with the Character Counter.
Using AI writing responsibly
A paraphrasing tool is a writing helper, not a way to pass off other people's work. Teachers and publishers can often tell when text has been rewritten, and many have rules about AI tools. The best use is on your own drafts: making a message clearer, kinder or shorter, or trying a new angle when you are stuck. For facts, dates and quotes, the original source is what counts, so check anything important against it.
On your phone or computer
The tool works the same in any modern browser. On a phone, paste the text from a chat or email, tap a style and Paraphrase, then use Copy to paste the new version back. On a computer you can keep the page open next to your document and rewrite paragraph by paragraph. When the new wording is ready, run it through the Word Counter to check the length, or write a whole message from scratch with the AI Email Writer.

Frequently asked questions
Is this paraphrasing tool free?
Yes. You can rewrite up to 30 texts a day across our AI tools without an account or payment. The daily limit keeps the service free for everyone.
What do the four styles do?
Standard rewrites in new words at about the same length. Formal makes the tone polite and professional, for work emails or applications. Simple uses everyday words and short sentences, handy for explaining something to a wide audience. Shorter keeps the main points in roughly half the words.
Is paraphrasing the same as plagiarism?
Rewording someone else's work doesn't make it yours. For school or published work, you still need to credit the original source, even when the words are new. Use the tool to improve your own writing or to understand a text, and follow your school's or employer's rules on AI.
Does it keep the meaning exactly?
It is told to keep the meaning, names and numbers, and it usually does. But AI can sometimes change a detail, drop a point or add a word you didn't mean, so always read the result before using it, especially for important messages.
Can it paraphrase languages other than English?
It answers in the same language as your text and works best in English. Other widely used languages often work, but the result may sound less natural.
Is my text private?
Your text is sent to our AI service only to write the new version. We don't store it, show it to anyone or use it for anything else. Avoid pasting passwords or very private information into any online tool.
Why is there a 1,500-character limit?
Short pieces give better rewrites and keep the free service fast. For a longer document, paraphrase it a few paragraphs at a time.
