Contract language is often dense and hard to read. A contract clause rewriter helps you turn complex or legalese-heavy clauses into clearer language while preserving legal meaning. Our free AI tool lets you paste one or more clauses and choose a style: simplify, plain language, more formal, or a custom instruction. You get a rewritten draft in seconds—useful for internal explanations, client-facing summaries, or first-pass clarity before a lawyer reviews. We process text in memory and do not store it; this tool is for convenience only and does not constitute legal advice. The first 5,000 characters are free without signup. For higher limits and API access, create a free account. To identify risky or missing clauses in a full contract, use our Legal Risk Analyzer; to compare two contract versions, try our Compare PDFs tool.
