What is the Paragraph Rewriter?
The Paragraph Rewriter helps you say the same thing—only clearer. It keeps your meaning while polishing tone, length, and structure.
Under the hood, it uses modern language models guided by your settings. You stay in control: preview alternatives, reuse your favorites, and keep a consistent voice.
How to rewrite a paragraph
- Paste or type your paragraph in the input.
- Pick your Options: choose a Tone, set Formality, pick Length, and select a Format.
- Optional: open Advanced options to fine-tune voice, complexity, punctuation, and more.
- Click Rewrite.
- Review the three variations. Click Use to send one back to the input, Copy to your clipboard, or Save it for later.
Options
Start here—these four controls shape the overall feel and size of your paragraph.
- Tone: Choose a mood such as friendly, professional, direct, persuasive, or reassuring so the paragraph reads the way you intend.
- Formality: Dial the register from casual to formal depending on the audience and context.
- Length: Guide the output’s size—short for summaries, medium for general use, long for fuller explanations, or let the model choose (auto).
- Format: Switch between plain text, bullet points, numbered list, a headline, or a subject line.
Advanced options
Go deeper when you need extra control over clarity, consistency, and style.
- Complexity: Set language complexity (simple, intermediate, advanced) without changing your message.
- Active voice: Prefer active voice for clearer, more direct sentences.
- Simplify vocabulary: Simplify vocabulary to improve readability without dumbing it down—great for broad or non-native audiences.
- Add transitions: Add gentle transitions (e.g., “also,” “however”) for smoother flow across sentences.
- Oxford comma: Use the Oxford comma in lists for consistency and fewer ambiguities.
- Avoid jargon: Avoid jargon and insider terms unless your audience expects them; define acronyms on first use.
- Preserve numbers/units: Preserve numbers and measurement units exactly as written to avoid errors.
- Keep quoted text: Don’t alter quoted text—keep names, titles, quotations, and citations intact.
- Preserve paragraph structure: Preserve paragraph structure when possible; avoid fragmenting or compressing into one sentence.
- Preserve punctuation style: Preserve punctuation style when reasonable (em dashes vs. commas, serial commas, etc.).
- Allow minor sentence reordering: Allow minor sentence reordering to improve flow without changing meaning.
- Paraphrase strength: Set paraphrase strength (0–100) to control how bold the rewrite can be—lower stays very close; higher explores bolder alternatives.
- Split into sentences (one per line): Output one sentence per line for clear review, especially useful when you plan to reorder or edit sentences individually.
- Max sentences: Cap the number of sentences in the output to keep results concise (0 = no cap).
- Preserve line breaks: Retain original line breaks where sensible—for emails or text with deliberate spacing.
- Combine short sentences: Merge overly short or choppy sentences when it improves flow and readability.
- Topic sentence first: Prefer placing the main idea up front to strengthen structure and clarity.
What makes a strong paragraph?
A strong paragraph is unified around a single main idea, expressed clearly in a topic sentence, supported by concise evidence or explanations, and linked with smooth transitions. It balances clarity and flow, avoids redundancy, and maintains an appropriate tone for the audience and domain.
- Topic sentence: States the main point early so readers know what to expect.
- Coherence and order: Sentences follow a logical sequence (general → specific, cause → effect, problem → solution, or chronological).
- Support: Examples, data, definitions, or reasoning that directly serve the main idea.
- Concision: Remove filler and repetition; prefer precise words over wordy phrases.
- Transitions: Use connective phrases to guide the reader from one sentence to the next.
- Sentence variety: Mix simple, compound, and complex sentences to keep rhythm and readability.
Techniques for rewriting a paragraph
- Clarify the main idea: Strengthen or move the topic sentence to the start if the paragraph buries the lede.
- Group like ideas: Merge overlapping sentences; split if the paragraph contains two unrelated ideas.
- Improve cohesion: Add or adjust transitions ("however," "for example," "as a result") to connect thoughts.
- Tighten language: Replace wordy phrases ("due to the fact that" → "because"), remove hedging and filler.
- Preserve meaning: Keep key facts, numbers, and quotes intact; don’t change intent or cited content.
- Adapt to audience and domain: Adjust vocabulary and tone; define jargon for general readers and use precise terms for experts.
- Control length: Set a maximum sentence count or word budget to match the outlet (email, abstract, social).
Quality checklist
- Single, clear main idea (topic sentence present and specific).
- Logical order; transitions clarify relationships (contrast, cause, example, sequence).
- Relevant support only; no redundancy or filler.
- Sentence variety and readable rhythm; avoid run-ons and fragments.
- Audience-appropriate tone and vocabulary; domain conventions respected.
- Facts, quotes, numbers, and units preserved accurately.
Common pitfalls and how to fix them
- Too long or meandering: Set a max sentence count and increase paraphrase strength slightly.
- Choppy or list-like: Enable ‘Combine short sentences’ and ‘Add transitions.’
- Key details lost: Turn on ‘Preserve numbers and units’ and keep ‘Quoted text.’ Consider raising formality.
- Tone mismatch: Adjust tone and domain (e.g., ‘professional’ + ‘email’ vs. ‘academic’ + ‘research paper’).
- Order feels off: Disable reordering or enable ‘Topic sentence first’ to restore expected structure.
