About this tool
Rewrite text instantly with improved clarity and readability.
This paraphrasing tool rewrites text by substituting synonyms from a built-in dictionary of 39 common words — each with four alternatives — and then applying a set of rules chosen by mode: Formal expands contractions, Simple swaps inflated words such as utilize and facilitate back to use and help, and Creative adds connectives between sentences. Everything runs as plain text rules in your browser, with no language model and no request to a server, so the same input can be rewritten again and again for different wording. It suits writers who want a fast first pass at varying repetitive phrasing, not a replacement for editing the sentence yourself.
Open Paraphrasing Tool on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Paste your text into Original Text, or press Load Sample; the word count sits under the box.
Under Paraphrasing Mode pick Standard, Formal, Simple or Creative, then press Paraphrase.
Paraphrased Text fills the right-hand panel - press Paraphrase again for a fresh draw from each word's four alternatives, Copy to take it, or Clear to empty both boxes.
Standard, Formal, Simple and Creative each apply a different rule set on top of the synonym pass, so the same paragraph can be pushed toward plain English or toward a more formal register.
Each matched word draws at random from its four alternatives, so re-running the same text produces a fresh variation to choose from rather than the identical output.
Substitutions keep the original word's leading capital and sentence punctuation is split out before rewriting, so the result does not need re-capitalising by hand.
No. It is a rule-based rewriter: a dictionary of 39 common words with four synonyms each, plus mode-specific find-and-replace rules. Nothing is sent to a language model or a server, which is why it responds instantly and works offline.
Standard applies synonym substitution only. Formal additionally expands contractions such as can't to cannot. Simple replaces heavy words with plain ones — utilize becomes use, additionally becomes also. Creative inserts linking words like Furthermore between sentences.
It can. Synonyms are chosen by word match, not by context, so a word like "turn" may be replaced with "rotate" where that does not fit. Always read the output before using it and correct any substitution that shifts your meaning.
No, and it should not be used that way. Swapping words leaves the underlying structure and ideas intact, which is still plagiarism if the source is not cited — paraphrasing properly means restating an idea in your own construction and attributing it.
