DeepL Write
AI writing improvement tool that enhances native-language text with natural suggestions
What is DeepL Write?
DeepL Write is the companion product to DeepL Translator — rather than translating between languages, it improves text within the same language. The AI suggests rephrasing, changes in tone (formal/informal), and vocabulary improvements that make writing cleaner, more precise, or more natural. Unlike Grammarly which focuses on error correction, DeepL Write focuses on style and expression improvement.
The tool currently supports German, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, and Polish. The word-level explanations tell you why a suggested change improves the text — not just what to change, but the reasoning behind it. This makes it educational as well as practical, helping writers understand the patterns that make writing stronger.
The basic version of DeepL Write is free in the browser. Write Pro is not bundled with DeepL Pro: as of 3 October 2026 it is sold as an add-on at €6.99 per user/month (billed annually) on top of a DeepL Pro plan. The quality of suggestions reflects DeepL's strong linguistic models — the same technology that makes DeepL Translator the most accurate machine translation tool powers Write's style improvements.
