How to paraphrase your own writing

A paraphrasing tool is useful when you already have a draft and want a clearer, simpler or more formal version. Paste text you wrote, pick a style, then edit the suggestion so it still sounds like you.

What it is not for

Rewriting another person’s article, assignment or webpage and submitting it as yours is still plagiarism. Changing the words does not change the source. Cite what you used.
