Text Tools
Text tools for writers, editors, students and marketers. Check the length of an essay or a meta description, switch headings between title case and sentence case, fill a layout with placeholder copy, sort a list and remove repeated lines, or see exactly what changed between two drafts.
Every tool opens on its own page and gives a clear result straight away, so you can finish the job and get back to your writing.
Writing and AI tools: use the grammar checker, paraphrasing tool and article rewriter to polish a draft, the text summariser to shorten it, the AI writer and AI humaniser to draft and refine, and the AI content detector and plagiarism checker to review text. You can also write in the online text editor, build references with the citation generator, and try the small text and invisible character tools.
