Plagiarism Checker: Check Your Paper Before You Submit
Our plagiarism checker uses PlagAware to search publicly available sources (according to PlagAware, about 70 billion texts) and sends you a PDF report with highlighted matches and source links by email in 15 minutes.
The draft contains a passage matching a public source. Compare the source and check quotation marks, attribution, and context.
Illustrative example, not an actual report or vendor interface. Public-source matches need manual review.
From Upload to Report in Three Steps
Three simple steps, and your plagiarism report is in your inbox within 15 minutes.
Upload Your Paper
Upload your document as PDF, DOCX, DOC, or TXT (max. 50 MB). We calculate the number of standard pages automatically from your file's character count.
Plagiarism Check Runs
PlagAware compares your text with publicly available sources, such as web pages and open-access publications (according to PlagAware, about 70 billion texts). It also picks up lightly reworded passages.
Receive PDF Report
Your detailed PDF report arrives by email in as little as 15 minutes. It includes a plagiarism score, your text with the matches highlighted, and a source link for every match found.
What the Report Flags in Your Paper
Our plagiarism checker goes beyond simple copy-paste detection. It shows you four kinds of overlap in a single report, each one linked to its source.
Copied Passages
Word-for-word copies from public sources without a citation. Every match comes with a link to its source.
Reworded Passages
Lightly reworded text that still follows a source. Passages from the same source are grouped, so you can judge how close they are. Heavily rewritten text is hard for any checker.
Open-Access Sources
Matches in open-access publications and freely available copies or abstracts of scholarly articles. Paywalled and subscription journals aren't searched.
Reused Public Text
Reuse of your own text if it's already publicly available online. Papers you haven't published, or that sit behind a login, can't be matched.
Everything Included in Your Plagiarism Check
One upload, one payment, and you receive a plagiarism report from PlagAware by email. Keep in mind that it's a pre-check against public sources, so it can't reproduce your university's own result. Here is everything your report includes:
- Public sources: web pages, open-access publications, and other freely available content (about 70 billion texts, according to PlagAware)
- Highlighted PDF report: each color marks one source, so you can see which passages belong together
- Overall plagiarism percentage: at a glance summary score
- Direct source links: clickable URLs to every match found
- Your full text with matches marked, so you can find every flagged passage and fix it
- Reworded passages: lightly rephrased text is grouped with its source, not just copy-paste matches
- Delivered by email in 15 minutes: ready to review before your deadline
- No registration required: just upload, pay, and receive
PlagAware is a German plagiarism checker that offers licenses for universities and schools. Your upload goes to PlagAware (our provider in Germany), isn't added to its comparison database, and is deleted after the check.

Frequently Asked Questions
A plagiarism checker compares your text segment by segment against publicly available sources such as web pages and open-access publications. According to PlagAware, that's about 70 billion texts. Matching passages are highlighted and listed in a report with links to the original sources. PlagAware has no access to paywalled or subscription journals or to non-public databases.
The PDF report contains a plagiarism percentage, your text with the matching passages highlighted, and a link to each source so you can open the original and compare. The highlight colors identify the source of a match. They don't rate how serious it is.
Often, yes. PlagAware finds word-for-word copies and lightly reworded passages, and each match links to its source so you can compare the two texts. Heavily rewritten passages are hard for every checker, so read each match. It can also flag reuse of your own text if that text is publicly available online.
Pricing is based on the number of standard pages in your document. One standard page equals 1,800 characters including spaces, our billing unit. We automatically calculate the page count from your uploaded file. A Plagiarism Scan costs $0.29 per page, with a minimum charge of $0.90.
Yes. You can upload a thesis or dissertation in PDF, DOCX, DOC, or TXT format, up to 50 MB. For theses and dissertations, we recommend the Combo package (Plagiarism + AI Scan) to get public-source matching and a separate AI-typicality signal at the best possible price.
