How the Plagiarism Checker Works
Three steps: upload, scan, receive. Your source-linked plagiarism report arrives in your inbox in about 15 minutes.
Three Simple Steps
Upload Your Document
Go to the order page and upload your file. We accept PDF, DOCX, DOC, and TXT formats up to 50 MB. Choose your scan type:
- Pre-submission plagiarism scan: checks against about 70 billion public sources, from $0.29/page
- AI Detection: assesses AI-typical phrasing without proving authorship, from $0.29/page
- Combo (Plagiarism + AI): both scans together, from $0.39/page
Enter your email address, apply a discount code if you have one, then complete payment securely via Stripe. No account registration needed.
PlagAware Scans Your Text
Once payment is confirmed, your document is sent to PlagAware, the plagiarism detection engine behind our checker. For a Plagiarism or Combo scan, the engine compares your text against:
- Billions of publicly available web pages and online documents
- Open-access publications and freely available copies or abstracts of articles
- Other content that search engines can index
According to PlagAware, that's about 70 billion texts. It doesn't have access to paywalled or subscription journals or other non-public databases, and your document isn't added to any plagiarism pool. Every match in the report is listed with its source, so you can check it yourself. An AI-only scan instead assesses sentence-level AI typicality from 0 to 100, with 50 neutral. It does not search for source matches or prove authorship.
Receive Your Report by Email
In about 15 minutes, a detailed PDF report usually arrives at the email address you provided. For a Plagiarism or Combo scan, the report contains:
- Your overall plagiarism percentage
- Matching passages highlighted in your text for source review
- A source list with clickable links to the original pages
- A clear Match | Source view, so you can see which passage came from where
The report is professional and clearly formatted, suitable to share with a thesis supervisor or academic board if needed.

Common Questions
We accept PDF, DOCX, DOC, and TXT files up to 50 MB. Scanned PDFs without selectable text cannot be processed; please export a text-based PDF from your word processor.
In most cases your report arrives within 15 minutes. Large documents or high workload can take longer; 15 minutes is not a guaranteed deadline. If you haven't received your report after 30 minutes, check your spam folder first, then contact us at info@plagiarism-checker-online.net.
Yes. Your document is used only to run the requested scan. It goes to PlagAware, our scan provider in Germany, and isn't added to a plagiarism pool. Your work remains entirely yours.
No registration is required. Upload your file, enter your email for delivery, and pay via Stripe. Reports typically arrive in about 15 minutes; processing can take longer.
If we can't process your order because of a technical failure, we refund your payment in full. Consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal. For paid services, it expires on full performance only with prior express early-performance consent and acknowledgment of that consequence. Payment or delivery alone does not establish those conditions. See our Cancellation Policy for details, or email us at info@plagiarism-checker-online.net.
