To humanize text in Grammarly, open the Humanizer agent, choose a preset voice or your own voice, and review its paragraph-level suggestions before accepting them. If your version of Grammarly shows Paraphraser instead, choose its Humanize style.
Grammarly now has more than one way to do this, so the exact buttons depend on whether you are using Grammarly docs, Superhuman Go, the browser extension, or the classic editor.
In Grammarly docs or Superhuman Go:
Grammarly's official Humanizer guide says a custom voice needs at least 200 words of your own text. Its suggestions appear beside the relevant parts of the document so you can review them in context.
If you are using the Paraphraser agent, open it and choose Humanize from the available styles. Grammarly's Paraphraser guide explains that it can apply a preset style or a saved custom voice across the document.
| Grammarly option |
|---|
| Best for |
|---|
| Where to start |
|---|
| Humanizer | Making a complete passage sound more natural and sincere | Open Humanizer from the agents panel |
| Paraphraser with Humanize | Reworking paragraphs in a natural style while preserving the point | Open Paraphraser and choose Humanize |
| Rewrite in my voice | Matching a voice profile Grammarly has learned from your writing | Select text, open the pencil or lightbulb menu, and choose Rewrite in my voice |
| On-demand generative AI | Making a quick rewrite in the extension, classic editor, or desktop app | Select the text and open the pencil, lightbulb, or nearby sidebar |
| AI Rewriter | Finding phrases that AI systems often use and considering alternatives | Open AI Rewriter in Grammarly docs if it is available on your account |
These options overlap, but they are not identical. Humanizer focuses on natural voice across a passage. Paraphraser changes style and wording. AI Rewriter identifies phrases that often occur in AI-generated text. Grammarly says that AI Rewriter is being introduced gradually for eligible plans, so it may not appear for every user yet. The current details are in Grammarly's AI Rewriter guide.
First check which Grammarly surface you are using. Humanizer is available through Grammarly's newer docs and Superhuman Go experiences, while selected-text rewriting also appears in the browser extension, classic editor, and desktop apps.
If Humanizer is not visible, try one of these routes:
Grammarly's generative AI assistance guide describes the selected-text controls used across its different apps. The interface can change, so use the control beside the selected paragraph rather than looking for one universal button.
The Humanizer can revise the language, but it cannot recover details that were never in the draft. Before running it, add the information that makes the passage yours:
A request such as “make this sound human” leaves many choices open. A more useful instruction is:
Rewrite this for a client who already knows the project. Keep every date and commitment unchanged. Make the opening direct, remove repeated summaries, use natural contractions, and keep the tone calm rather than enthusiastic.
That prompt defines the reader, the fixed facts, and the voice. It gives the rewrite a real target instead of asking for generic naturalness.
If the goal is to make the result sound like you, create a voice instead of relying only on a preset. Choose an example that matches the kind of document you are editing. A concise work email is more useful for another work email than a school essay or social post.
The sample should show repeatable choices such as:
Do not use a sample because its topic is similar. Use it because its voice is the one you want. Grammarly's voice feature guide explains how to select text and apply Rewrite in my voice after a profile has been created.
Humanizing is still rewriting. A fluent edit can accidentally alter a qualification, number, source, or responsibility.
Compare the original and revision for:
Then read the paragraph aloud. Keep changes that make the point easier to follow. Undo changes that merely replace one polished phrase with another or remove a detail that matters.

No tool can guarantee that a rewrite will receive a particular result from every AI detector. Detectors use different systems, and their results can disagree or change.
Grammarly's Humanizer can make a passage sound more natural. Its AI Rewriter can suggest alternatives for phrases that AI systems often use. Neither feature proves who wrote a document, and a lower score does not replace any disclosure or authorship rule that applies to the work.
If a detector result matters, test the complete final passage and read how to interpret an AI detector score before treating one percentage as a verdict.
Add real context before trying another pass. Replace broad claims with details, state the actual decision near the beginning, and remove sentences that only restate the point.
If the whole document needs a more substantial rewrite, compare the result with the blury AI humanizer. If you want to work from examples of your own voice, open blury Chat, provide a relevant sample, and refine the draft in the same conversation.
The goal is not to make every sentence unusually casual or unpredictable. It is to make the document clear, specific, and believable for its real reader while preserving what you meant.
