Does paraphrasing avoid plagiarism?
No. Changing the wording without citing the source is still plagiarism. A paraphrasing tool is for polishing sentences, not for replacing attribution. If the idea is someone else's, the citation is still required.
How is paraphrasing different from summarizing?
Paraphrasing rewords at roughly the same length; summarizing cuts content down. Reach for paraphrasing when a sentence reads awkwardly or the tone is wrong, and for summarizing when you need it shorter. Many tools ship both, so pick the mode that matches the job.
