What paraphrasing is — and isn't
Paraphrasing means restating an idea in your own words. It's a legitimate, everyday writing skill — useful when your own draft is wordy, repetitive, or awkward. What it is notis a way to take someone else's work, reword it, and submit it as your own. That's plagiarism whether you change every word or none. If an idea isn't yours, cite it.
How this tool works
It runs entirely in your browser using a built-in thesaurus, swapping common words for synonyms while preserving capitalisation. Because there's no AI involved, it's instant and private — but also basic. A synonym swap can subtly shift meaning or tone, so always read the output and edit it into a sentence you'd actually write.
