How does the plagiarism checker work?

Paste your text or upload a document. Paperxify's scanner compares your content against its index of billions of web pages, academic publications, and student submission databases. Matching passages are highlighted with similarity percentages and direct source links.

Is Paperxify's plagiarism checker free?

Yes. The free tier allows you to check documents up to 1,000 words instantly without registration. Pro subscribers get unlimited-length document scanning, PDF upload support, and detailed similarity reports with source attribution.

Does it check against academic journals and research papers?

Yes. Paperxify's plagiarism database includes major academic journals indexed from CrossRef, JSTOR, PubMed, arXiv, and other academic repositories, in addition to general web content.

How is this different from Turnitin?

Turnitin requires institutional licenses and is typically only accessible through universities. Paperxify's plagiarism checker is free for individual students, provides source links directly in the report, and combines plagiarism checking with AI detection in one integrated suite.

Can I check a full dissertation or thesis for plagiarism?

Pro and Power subscribers can upload complete dissertation or thesis PDF files for full document plagiarism scanning. Results include a chapter-by-chapter breakdown and an overall similarity percentage.
