Deep crawl scanning technology
Our crawler digs deep through billions of web pages, journals, and academic archives — including cached and obscure sources other checkers quietly skip.
Best-in-market accuracy
Multiple detection engines work together for sentence-level precision and an industry-low false-positive rate — the most accurate similarity report you can get.
Safe & private
Your text is never stored, shared, or used to train AI. Every scan runs privately and is discarded the moment it finishes.

Inside Your Similarity Report
Originality score at a glance
A single percentage tells you how much of your text matched a source, color-coded so you know in one second whether you are good to publish.
Sentence-level highlights
Every flagged sentence is color-coded by match type: exact, paraphrased, or AI-generated. Click any sentence to see the source it matched.
Linked source list
A ranked list of every source we found, sorted by how much of your text matched it. Each source links out so you can verify the match yourself.
Built-in editor for quick fixes
Edit your text in the same window, then click Rescan. No copy-pasting between tools, no losing your place.
Downloadable PDF report
Export a clean report to share with a professor, editor, or client. Use it as proof of originality when it matters.
Institution-Grade Detection
Large institutions have needs that go well beyond individual document checking. Our institutional tier is built for scale, compliance, and deep integration.
Why Accurate Plagiarism Detection Actually Matters
Submitting plagiarized work — even accidentally — carries serious consequences. Students face academic penalties, professionals lose credibility, and publishers face copyright disputes. The damage usually goes far beyond the document itself.

Built on the Latest Detection Technology
Plagiarism detection has come a long way from simple text matching. Our engine combines multiple methods for a low false-positive rate and a high true-positive rate. Read the full technology overview.
What Is Plagiarism? The Five Types
Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work — or ideas — as your own without proper attribution. In practice, the line is less clear than most people realize. See also Purdue OWL’s guide.
Direct plagiarism
Copying text word for word without quotation marks or attribution. The most straightforward form, and the easiest to detect.
Paraphrasing plagiarism
Rewording someone else’s ideas while keeping the same structure and meaning, without acknowledging the source. Far more common than direct copying.
Self-plagiarism
Reusing substantial portions of your own previously published or submitted work without disclosure — a problem in academic and publishing contexts alike.
Mosaic plagiarism
Also called patchwriting: mixing copied phrases from one or more sources into your own text. Even with an original structure, the borrowed language creates a problem.
Accidental plagiarism
Forgetting to cite a source you genuinely used, or misattributing a quote. Intent does not change the result from the perspective of most institutions.
Whatever the type, our checker identifies the matched source so you can make an informed decision — cite, rephrase, or remove.
Scan your text nowHow to Avoid Plagiarism (That Actually Work)
Avoiding plagiarism is not complicated, but it requires consistent habits throughout the writing process — not just a last-minute check.
Take source notes carefully
Note not just what you find but where you found it — URL, author, publication date, page number. Losing track of a source is one of the most common causes of accidental plagiarism.
Paraphrase properly
Changing a few words is not paraphrasing — it is a liability. True paraphrasing means understanding an idea well enough to explain it entirely in your own words, with the source cited.
Use quotation marks for direct language
Any time you use a source’s exact words, even a single phrase, put them in quotation marks and cite the original.
Cite everything you didn't already know
When in doubt, cite. An unnecessary citation is never a problem; a missing one can be. Our citation generator makes it fast.
Run a plagiarism check before you submit
This is the step that catches everything else. Even careful writers miss things — a plagiarism checker is a standard quality check, not a last resort.
Do all five consistently and the final check becomes a formality rather than a scramble.
