General
Is Verifext really free?
Yes. Verifext offers unlimited plagiarism scans at no cost and with no account registration required. The service is supported by non-intrusive advertising through Google AdSense.
Which languages are supported?
The interface is available in 15 languages. The scanner automatically detects English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, and other major languages in submitted text.
Scanning & Accuracy
How accurate is the plagiarism checker?
Verifext compares your text against billions of publicly indexed web pages using live search queries. It reliably detects verbatim copying and close paraphrases that appear online. It cannot detect matches in unpublished works, private databases, or print-only sources.
What does the originality score mean?
The originality score is the percentage of your analyzed text that did not match any indexed web source. A 92% score means roughly 8% of checked content overlapped with existing pages. Always review matched sources in context.
How many words can I scan at once?
The scanner accepts up to 1,000 words per scan. For longer documents, scan sections separately or split at natural paragraph boundaries.
Does Verifext detect AI-generated content?
Verifext focuses on web plagiarism detection, not AI authorship classification. For AI-related policies, see our guide on AI-generated content and academic integrity.

Academic Use
Can students use Verifext for academic work?
