If writing ended at the first draft, the writer’s life would be simpler. But there’s a reason the old adage “write drunk, edit sober” exists: while writing is the time for creative freedom, editing requires a high level of focus and attention to detail.
First, you brain-dump your ideas into a rough first draft. Then you go back and fine-tune your writing, cutting out unnecessary words, changing sentence structure, and reorganizing your thoughts into a more engaging, concise flow. All this can take hours.
Paragraph rewriters like Jasper AI can be powerful tools for writers and bloggers to get rewritten versions of their work instantly. Used correctly, AI content generators can reduce time spent on editing, optimizing, and fine-tuning, helping writers become more efficient.
So how do paragraph rewriters work? Let’s take a closer look.
What is a paragraph rewriter, and how does it work?
A paragraph rewriter is a tool that can rearrange words or sentences in a paragraph, often improving readability and structuring ideas more clearly.
These tools use AI technology like GPT-3, which is a machine learning neural network that can scan enormous data sets to fetch relevant information. Jasper AI builds on this technology, adding natural language processing for a coherent and unique result.
Simply put, Jasper has read roughly 10% of the written content on the internet. It uses this data to understand how human beings write and express ideas and concepts. With this information, it can replicate different styles for various topics.
Note that Jasper isn’t an encyclopedia or fact-checker—its job is to convey messages creatively.
Jasper AI’s paragraph rewriter can take your written work and rehash it multiple times by altering word choices, sentence length, or tone, while retaining your original ideas and meaning.
Jasper can even act as a full-fledged writing assistant, typing the first draft of a long-form article for you to build upon.
Why do you need a paragraph rewriting tool?
Many writers are used to flying solo, but it can be useful to have a fresh pair of eyes—or an AI helping hand. If you don’t like the way you worded a paragraph, just paste your content into the Content Improver in Jasper and choose a voice style.

Click “Generate.” And it’ll provide three variations to choose from (unless you put a different number in the inputs box.

Here are some other reasons why writers choose to use Jasper’s rewriting tool:
1. Improving communication
Have you ever had an editor ask you to simplify a sentence, when you think it’s already as clear as it can get?
Sometimes what looks good on paper doesn’t sound right to the ear. People understand words differently, which is why it’s important to read your text aloud. Then there’s the jargon or complex concepts that might go over the heads of everyday people.
Catching the sentences and paragraphs where readability can be improved ensures you communicate your ideas effectively. But sometimes, it’s tough to change your own writing, so using AI makes it easier to switch your wording, tone, and structure to sound better.
With more than 50 templates to choose from, Jasper’s paragraph rewriter can convey your intended message in a more concise, digestible format.
For example, you can use Jasper’s “Explain It to a Child” template to simplify your writing. This template allows you to choose a reading level (we recommend below seventh grade) to improve your content scores for audience comprehension.
The Content Improver template is excellent for improving reader engagement. This template allows you to choose a tone and uses contextual synonyms to change your approach.
Whether it’s an easy-going explanatory article or an authoritative, professional piece, the paragraph rewriter will help you get your message across more clearly.
2. Repurposing content

According to a recent Referral Rock study, roughly 94% of marketers said they chose to repurpose their content.
Repurposing content has many benefits:
- Increased audience engagement
- Broader brand reach
- Saving money by not creating new content
Writers working in online spaces often repurpose old content materials—whether from one medium to another (e.g., podcast recording to blog post), or from one platform to another (e.g., blog article to Twitter thread), or simply by refreshing an old article to reflect new information and developments.
Jasper’s paragraph rewriter significantly reduces the time it takes to repurpose old content—plus you can quickly generate fresh material with the desired attributes of the new platform.
As your writing assistant, Jasper does the bulk of the rewriting so you can focus on fine-tuning the result. For example, you can use it to take the same content and make it quirky for Instagram, engaging for Twitter, and professional for Linkedin.
3. Increasing rankings
When you use Jasper’s paragraph rewriter in Boss Mode, you can combine the power of Jasper and SurferSEO to maximize your SEO and get higher rankings for your content.
Choose the template you want Jasper to use to reword your paragraph while optimizing your content with natural language processing (NLP) terms and keywords.
In addition, Jasper will help you follow good SEO practices. A lot of traffic comes from mobile phones, and a short paragraph on a web browser can look like a wall of text on a smartphone. Jasper can rewrite your sentences or summarize your text so they’re succinct and readable across all devices.
4. Overcoming writer’s block
Is there anything more terrifying to a writer than staring at a blank document? Getting started and tapping into your flow state can be tough.
Jasper can get your creative juices flowing by generating a few paragraphs—or even an entire article—which you can then edit to match your own voice. It does the brunt of the basic research on your chosen topic, so you can simply edit until it meets your standards. Then add in the human element by adding quotes from SMEs, in-depth research from books and reputable sites, and finding relevant stats.
If you’re unhappy with a section at any point, you can always run it through the paragraph generator again to get a fresh version. Jasper provides multiple options to make it easier to select the best one for your audience.
For example, Jasper has a blog introduction template that can give your writing a jumpstart if you’re stuck at the beginning. Here’s a lesson on how it works.
What’s different about Jasper’s paragraph rewriter?
Not to toot our own horn, but we’ve been called the best AI writing tool. We believe these are some of the reasons why:
Built with AI
Let’s be clear: not every paragraph rewriter is artificially intelligent! You may find a free paragraph rewriter online that simply shuffles around the order of your sentences, or changes up to 30% of the original text.
Instead of rewriting your content, these tools often change the grammatical voice (e.g., from passive to active) or replace your words with synonyms. It can look something like this:
Original text: An orange is a fruit of various citrus species in the family Rutaceae.
Average paragraph rewriter: In the family of Rutaceae, an orange is one of the various citrus species.
It sounds less like a paragraph rewriter and more like Yoda!
Now look at this alternative sentence from Jasper’s paragraph rewriter:
Oranges are a juicy fruit that come from various citrus trees in the Rutaceae family.
The sentence is similar, yet the AI makes it unique by adding descriptive words about the fruit.
More than a thesaurus
True paragraph rewriting involves changing more than individual words. Since many rewriting tools don’t have an AI or machine learning neural system, they’re nothing more than programmed thesauruses.
These tools suggest words that are grammatically accurate but contextually out of place.
Here’s an example:
Original text: Mandarin is known for being an intrinsically logical language.
Average paragraph rewriter: Mandarin is known for being a naturally intelligent language.
While “naturally” can be a synonym for “intrinsically” and “intelligent” can be a synonym for “logical,” the free paragraph generator completely changed the meaning of the sentence.
Jasper retains the meaning of the original content through contextual understanding and machine learning. Here’s what it generates for the same sentence:
Mandarin is a language that many people find to be logical.
Here’s another variation that’s more creative:
The beauty of Mandarin is its logic.
Plagiarism free
Plagiarism is a major issue for online content, and can negatively impact search engine rankings—apart from obvious ethical concerns.
Unlike regular paragraph rewriters that slightly tweak word choices, Jasper delivers 100% plagiarism-free content.
Capable of generating long-form content
Jasper is one of the few AI writing tools that can generate a full-length article from a textual prompt. While Jasper has a sophisticated paragraph rewriter and paraphrasing tool, it doesn’t need your writing to generate content.
A simple brief is all Jasper needs to write a long-form piece. And changing the input slightly for each section will give Jasper an even better idea of what information to include.
Rewrite your paragraphs to make them better
Writers do much more than write—they research, create outlines, write multiple drafts, edit, and optimize. There’s a lot that goes into making content ready to publish.
AI writing tools like Jasper can improve your efficiency, workflow, and quality. If you’re ready to give Jasper’s paragraph rewriter a go, sign up to get started today.
