Inside the report

A similarity score with details behind it.

Matches highlighted in context

Review matching passages where they appear in your document instead of relying only on one overall percentage.

Available sources you can open

Open detected source URLs and compare the wording directly. The report may also show the percentage linked to each source.

A report you can review and share

Move through report details, export the result as a PDF or create a shareable link when those options are available.

Understanding similarity

A match is a finding, not a conclusion.

The similarity percentage summarises how much wording overlaps with detected sources. It helps you locate material that deserves a closer look.

A match may be a quotation, citation, bibliography entry, common phrase, technical wording or text that needs revision. Review the surrounding context before deciding what the match means.

The report points to matching wording. Context determines what the match means.

How it works

Three steps from text to a similarity report.

  1. 01

    Submit your material.

    Paste text, upload a supported file or submit a URL. Each file can be up to 24 MB, and a check requires at least 100 characters.

  2. 02

    Copyleast checks available sources.

    The analysis may compare your text with the public web, academic publications and the internal system database. Private or institutional repositories are included only when separately connected or activated.

  3. 03

    Review the matches.

    Open highlighted passages, inspect available source links and decide whether each match is quoted, cited, common wording or needs revision.

Who it helps

Built for student writing, useful for careful review.

Students

Review essays and assignments for source overlap before submission and identify passages that need citation or revision.

Graduate students & researchers

Check theses, dissertations, manuscripts and research papers while reviewing every source match in context.

Writers & editors

Inspect source use before publishing, delivering work to a client or sharing a final document.

Review with context

A plagiarism report does not make the decision.

Copyleast identifies similarity and available sources. It does not automatically determine that plagiarism occurred. Review quotations, citations, references and the wider purpose of the text before drawing a conclusion.

Submitted documents are not automatically added to the general comparison database and are not used to train AI models. Documents may remain in an account until the user deletes them. Heavily paraphrased material may not always be detected reliably.

FAQ

Plagiarism checking, explained.

A plagiarism checker compares submitted text with available sources and reports similar wording. It helps you locate passages that may need citation, quotation formatting or revision, but it does not decide automatically that plagiarism occurred.
The similarity percentage summarises detected textual overlap. It can include properly quoted material, references, common phrases and technical language, so the number should always be reviewed together with the highlighted matches.
A check may use the public web, academic publications and the internal system database. Private or institutional repositories are included only when separately connected or activated.
You can paste text, submit a URL or upload DOCX, PDF, TXT, RTF or ODT files. Each file can be up to 24 MB, up to 10 files can be included in one check, and the submitted text must contain at least 100 characters.
Documents may remain in your account until you delete them. They are not automatically added to the general comparison database and are not used to train AI models. A private repository is used only when it is explicitly activated.
No. The report identifies similarity and available sources. Whether a match is acceptable, cited correctly or problematic depends on the context, assignment rules and how the source material was used.
