Sentence Rewriter

You get options, not an answer

This is the difference from every other rewriting tool, and it changes how you use it.

Most rewriters hand back one version. If you do not like it you run it again and get another one, with no way to compare. This produces three by default, or one or five, all at once, each with its own Copy button.

That matters because rewriting a sentence is a judgement call, not a calculation. There is no single correct version of "the implementation of the new system was completed by the team" — there are several, and which is best depends on rhythm, on what the sentence before it did, and on how formal the surrounding text is. Seeing three at once lets you pick; seeing one at a time makes you accept or reroll.

Practical advice: use five when you are stuck and nothing is coming, because the spread shows you the range of possibilities. Use three for ordinary work. Use one when you already know what you want and just need it executed.

And read them as a set. Often the best result is not any single one but a combination — the opening of the second with the ending of the third. The alternatives are raw material, not a menu you must choose from.

The eight goals, and which ones actually work

The goal setting does more than a style setting would, because each one is a specific editing task rather than a vague mood.

Fix Passive Voice is the most reliable of the eight, and the one worth knowing about. Passive constructions have a clear mechanical fix — find who did the thing and put them in front of the verb — so this is a task a model does well and consistently. "The report was reviewed by the committee" becomes "The committee reviewed the report": shorter, clearer, and it names who is responsible. A whole category of tools exists to do only this; here it is one setting among eight.

A caveat worth having, because passive voice is not always wrong: use it deliberately when the doer is unknown, irrelevant, or when you are tactfully avoiding naming them. "The file was deleted" is sometimes exactly the right sentence.

Simplify is the default and the most generally useful — it unpicks nested clauses and swaps long words for short ones. It is the right choice for anything a non-specialist will read.

Improve Clarity is subtler than Simplify. It reorders for logic rather than just shortening, which is what you want when a sentence is grammatically fine but you have to read it twice.

Make Shorter is dependably good, because cutting is the easiest kind of editing to do well.

Make Formal and Make Casual both work, with one warning each: formal drifts towards the passive and the abstract, which can undo what you wanted; casual can overshoot into breeziness that does not suit the document.

Add Emphasis is useful in small doses and produces the most over-written results if you apply it to several sentences in a row.

Make Longer is the weakest, and it is worth saying why. Lengthening a sentence almost always means adding words that carry no information — qualifiers, restatements, throat-clearing. If you need more length, the honest answer is usually another sentence with another idea in it, not a longer version of the one you have. Use it to hit a word count if you must, but expect padding.

Strictly or loosely, and when it matters

The Keep Meaning setting is easy to overlook and occasionally important.

Strictly is the default and the right choice for anything where the content is fixed: a specification, an instruction, a legal or contractual line, a number, a quote, a description of what a product does. The rewrite changes how it reads, not what it says.

Loosely lets the rewrite reshape the idea and not only the words. It is genuinely better for marketing copy, a headline, an opening line, or a sentence you are not attached to — the results are more interesting and less literal.

The risk is the obvious one. A loose rewrite can shift a claim, drop a qualifier, or make something sound more certain than you meant. If the sentence makes a factual or legal claim, use Strictly and then read the result against the original — specifically checking that no hedge has gone missing. "May cause" quietly becoming "causes" is the kind of change that reads better and means something different.

This is for sentences, not documents

Worth being clear about the scope, because it decides which of the two tools here you want.

This one is built for a short piece of text — a sentence, a headline, a bullet, a few lines at most. Paste several paragraphs and you will get a truncated or thinned result, because the tool is scoped for short input and returns several versions of it.

For a paragraph or a page, use Paraphraser instead. That one takes a passage and restyles the whole thing into a single rewritten version, with modes for fluency, formality and creativity, and it handles far more text.

The honest split is straightforward: a passage in a different style goes to the paraphraser; one sentence you are stuck on comes here, where you get choices. They are not competing versions of the same tool.

Read the result before you use it

Two habits, both quick.

Read it aloud. A rewritten sentence can be grammatically perfect and still not fit — wrong rhythm, a word that clashes with the sentence before it, a register that does not match the paragraph. Reading it in place catches all of that in seconds, and it is the only reliable test.

Check what left. Rewrites lose things quietly: a qualifier, a name, a number, a "usually", a "not". Compare against your original for meaning rather than for style, particularly with Loosely selected.

Used this way it is a genuinely good tool — not because it writes better than you do, but because seeing three versions of your own sentence is the fastest way to work out what you were actually trying to say.

Unlike the file tools here, this one sends your text to a language model rather than running in your browser. No account, and no limit beyond 30 rewrites an hour.
