Rewrite My Sentence is a sentence rewriter that rephrases, corrects or shortens your wording and highlights each edit, so you review the result before taking it. It handles one clause or a few paragraphs, explains grammar fixes, also runs in Gmail through a Chrome extension, and costs nothing for up to 300 words at a time, with no sign-up.
Reword a whole passage at once
paste the paragraph → Rephrase → copy
The block goes in as one piece, so the new version keeps the order of your points and the links between them. Long phrases turn into plain ones, repeated terms get synonyms, and every swapped fragment is highlighted. One request covers about a page of notes.
Paraphrase tool →Correct mistakes and see why each one was wrong
paste → Fix grammar → read the reasons
Each correction comes with its type and a one-line reason, for example 'subject–verb agreement' or 'pronoun case'. Spelling and punctuation are handled in the same pass. You learn the pattern behind the mistake, which helps the next email come out right the first time.
Grammar checker →were → was · the subject is 'the train'
Make a request sound kind, even on a busy day
paste the message → Polite → copy
A blunt order turns into a courteous ask, and the deadline survives. The tone shifts while the facts hold: same document, same day, same person. You see exactly what was added before the message leaves your outbox.
Rewrite in Gmail and Google Docs
select text → pick an action → Replace
The browser add-on brings the same actions to the page you are typing on. Highlight a phrase in a draft reply, choose what to do with it, and swap your version for the new one in place. The free cap matches the website.
Chrome extension →Hi Anna, sorry for the late reply. I was busy.
How to fix a sentence without a sentence rewriter
- Say the main point first. Decide what the reader must do or know, and move it to the start: a question such as 'Could you send the report?' works better than a long run-up.
- Cut hedges and empty phrases. 'Maybe', 'possibly' and 'just' rarely add meaning, and 'in the process of' can usually go. Prefer active voice: name who did it, then what they did.
- Split anything you cannot read in one breath. 'The meeting moved to Thursday because the client asked for more time and we still need the figures' works better as two: the move first, then the reasons.

Rewrite my sentence: what changes and what stays
The engine follows one rule above the others: keep the meaning and the voice, change only the wording. Names, figures and dates are part of the meaning, so they are meant to come back exactly as you typed them, and the Changes column shows it if one moved. Line breaks and lists keep their shape, so a bulleted note stays bulleted.
What it removes is the residue that makes a text sound machine-made. Long dashes become plain hyphens, curly quotes become straight ones, and stock connectors such as “moreover” appear at most once every three paragraphs. It does not add claims you did not make, and it does not pad a short note into an essay.
You stay in control of the final version. The Changes column lists every edit as type, old words, new words and a short reason. Switch “Show changes” off to read the clean text, press Regenerate for another attempt, or copy it when it says what you meant.
Which action to pick
- Rewrite suits a line that feels wrong but you cannot say why. It smooths rhythm, word order and grammar together.
- Rephrase keeps the size and changes the structure. Use it when you have already said the same thing twice in one thread and need a fresh version.
- Shorter trims a 60-word message to its core, often by half. Longer does the opposite for a reply that reads as curt.
- Formal and Casual move the register: a note to a manager or a message to a friend.
- Fix grammar touches only errors and leaves your style alone, which makes it the safe pick for a final check.
Questions
Where does my text go?
Only to the model that writes the new version. When you press the button, your words travel to OpenAI to produce the result and comes back to your screen. We do not write it to our database or to our server logs.
Is it free?
Yes. Each request takes up to 300 words, and you need no account or card to use it.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the page, paste a line and press the button.
What does it not do?
It does not check facts, add new ideas or write in your name. It will not promise that a detector or a teacher treats the result as yours. It works on what you paste, so a wrong figure in the draft is still there after the rewrite.
Will it keep my original meaning?
Yes, that is the rule it follows: the idea stays, the wording changes. Names, numbers and dates should come back as you typed them. Read the marked edits anyway, because a word can shift in tone, and press Regenerate if one version misses the point.
What is the difference between rewriting, rephrasing and paraphrasing a sentence?
The first is the wide term: any change of wording, length or tone. The other two mean saying the same idea with other words and a new structure. In the editor, Rewrite improves the phrasing as a whole, while Rephrase keeps the size and reorders the parts.
How do I rewrite a sentence myself?
Put the main point first, cut the filler around it, then read the line aloud. If you stop for breath, split it in two. The three steps above show this on real examples. Doing it by hand is good practice; the editor runs the same checks and writes down its reasoning for each edit.
Is using a sentence rewriter cheating?
Not when the text is yours: polishing your own email or essay is ordinary editing. Rewording someone else's work and presenting it as your own is plagiarism with any tool, so quote and cite the source instead.
Can it make a sentence shorter or more formal?
Yes. After the first result, the chips under it switch between Rephrase, Formal, Casual, Shorter and Longer, and each run marks what moved. The home page also offers Shorten as a separate tab.
