Copyleaks checker & guide
Copyleaks runs inside many school and company systems and checks two things at once: AI-written text and copied text. Fix both before it sees your work.

Independent heuristic estimate of the signals detectors use (predictability, burstiness, stock AI phrasing, repetitive structure). It is not GPTZero, ZeroGPT or Turnitin, and real scores can differ.
Step by step
Paste your draft into the checker above. Note your AI-likeness score and burstiness.
Hover each red sentence to see the signal it triggers, then rewrite it in your own structure.
A number, a source, an example, an opinion. Copyleaks can't see specificity in a generic draft.
Run the checker again. When most sentences are green, it reads as yours.
What is Copyleaks?
Copyleaks started as a plagiarism checker and added an AI content detector in 2023. It's integrated into learning platforms such as Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard and Brightspace, and companies use it through an API and browser extension.
Because it combines AI detection and plagiarism matching, paraphrasing someone else's text with an AI tool can trigger both alarms at once. It supports many languages and can also flag AI-generated source code.
Want a second opinion on a rewrite? The MultipleChat humanizer (ranked #1 in our humanizer test) lets you compare rewrites from several AI models side by side, then you pick and edit the version that sounds like you.
Other detectors
Teachers and clients often run more than one detector. Fixing the underlying patterns helps with all of them.
FAQ
Copyleaks says it detects text from the major models. Detection is about writing patterns rather than the model's name, so the fixes are the same.
Yes, it flags paraphrased plagiarism, and its AI detector also looks at AI-style rewording. Real rewriting with your own structure and citations is the safe route.
It's widely used, but like all detectors it produces false positives, especially on formulaic or translated text. Results should be reviewed by a person.
Copyleaks has a limited free scan. You can also pre-check AI patterns here for free without an account.
Use it the right way
AI detectors are probabilistic and get things wrong, which is why it makes sense to check your text first. But the goal is clear, specific writing that is genuinely yours, not hiding AI use where it's banned.
