Limato
Rewording Tool
Say the same thing in different words — fresh phrasing, same meaning, no thesaurus weirdness. Free, AI-powered, no signup. Changed words are highlighted.
How to use the rewording tool
Paste up to 750 words and click Reword. The reworded version appears with every changed word highlighted, so you can see exactly what moved and verify the meaning survived. Click Copy and you're done. Your text is processed and returned — never stored.
Why a thesaurus can't reword for you
Swapping a word for its dictionary synonym breaks more sentences than it fixes. Synonyms carry different registers and collocations: a big problem is natural, a large problem is odd, a sizable problem sounds like a consultant wrote it. "Utilize" is not a fancier "use" — it's usually just the wrong word.
This tool rewords in context: it picks replacements that fit the register of the sentence and rebuilds the phrasing around them, so the result reads like it was written that way — not edited word by word.
When you need to reword something
- You used the same word three times in one paragraph and it's starting to echo.
- The register is off — too stiff for a Slack message, too casual for a client email.
- Your phrasing shadows a source too closely. Reword it — and still cite the idea; rewording without credit is plagiarism with extra steps.
- The sentence is fine but flat, and you want a version with more life before you hit send.
Rewording, paraphrasing, rewriting — what's the difference?
In everyday use the words overlap, and the tools do too: rewording emphasizes changing the words, paraphrasing emphasizes restating a point in your own voice, rewriting emphasizes restructuring. This tool and the paraphrasing tool share the same rewrite engine — both change words and structure, because word swaps alone never sound natural.
Pick by what you're starting from: a passage to restate → the paraphraser; a sentence that echoes or sits in the wrong register → reword it here; a single awkward sentence → the sentence rewriter; only errors to fix → the grammar checker.

Add to Chrome — FreeFrequently asked questions
Is the rewording tool free?
Yes. Rewording on this page is free with a daily limit, no signup. The Limato Chrome extension gives 5 free rewrites a day without sign-in, or 20 a day with a free Google sign-in.
Will rewording change the meaning?
No. Facts, names, numbers, and intent stay intact — only the wording and phrasing change. Every changed word is highlighted so you can verify the result against your original.
Is rewording someone else's text plagiarism?
Rewording your own text is just editing. Rewording someone else's ideas without citing them is plagiarism no matter what tool you use — always credit the source of ideas that are not yours.
What's the difference between this and the paraphrasing tool?
Same engine, different starting point. Reword when specific words are the problem — repetition, wrong register, phrasing too close to a source. Paraphrase when you want a full passage restated fresh. Both change wording and structure together, because word swaps alone sound robotic.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes. Paste text in any major language and it is reworded in that same language. The Limato extension also translates between 34 languages.
Is my text stored?
No. Text is sent to the rewrite API, processed, and returned — not stored, logged, or used to train models.
