How To Use Wordtune

Getting Started (3 minutes)

Go to wordtune.com and click Sign up. You can use Google, email, or Apple ID. The free plan works for casual use.
Install the browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Safari). This lets Wordtune work inside Gmail, Google Docs, LinkedIn, Twitter - anywhere you type.
Highlight a sentence you want to improve. Wordtune's suggestions pop up in a small menu. Pick one, or keep the original.
Try the tone toggle. Click Casual or Formal and Wordtune rewrites your text to match. Great for switching between client emails and Slack messages.

Rewrite clunky sentences. Paste rough draft text into Wordtune's editor (or use the extension). It suggests 5-10 ways to say the same thing more clearly. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Shorten or expand. Writing a tweet? Click Shorten and Wordtune cuts filler. Need to hit a word count? Click Expand and it adds relevant detail without fluff.
Fix grammar without sounding robotic. Unlike Grammarly, Wordtune doesn't just mark mistakes - it shows you how to rewrite the whole sentence in a way that flows naturally.

Wordtune isn't prompt-based like ChatGPT, but here's how to use its AI writing features:

Continue writing: Place your cursor at the end of a paragraph and click the lightbulb icon. Wordtune finishes your thought based on context.
Summarize: Paste a long article or document, click Summarize, and get a 3-5 sentence version. Works on web pages too (via the extension).
Translate to English: Write in Spanish, Mandarin, French, or 7 other languages. Wordtune translates it into natural-sounding English, not word-for-word machine translation.

Use Custom Instructions. Tell Wordtune your writing style once (under Settings > Personalization). It starts suggesting rewrites that match your voice instead of generic corporate-speak.
Compare options side by side. When Wordtune gives you multiple suggestions, don't pick the first one. Read through all of them - sometimes the 4th option is the best.
Turn on grammar alerts. Settings > Editor. Wordtune underlines mistakes as you type, then suggests fixes. Less intrusive than Grammarly's constant pop-ups.

Long-form content creation. Wordtune helps you polish and rewrite existing text. If you need to generate a full blog post or essay from scratch, use ChatGPT or Jasper.
Academic citations. The free version doesn't include sources for facts. If you're writing a research paper, double-check any claims Wordtune adds.
