Frequently Asked Questions

What is DeepL Write?

DeepL Write is DeepL's answer to a different problem than translation: text you already wrote in your own language that needs to read more clearly. Paste a paragraph and it rewrites word choices, restructures sentences and adjusts tone, showing alternatives you can accept individually rather than a single rewritten block.

The free version handles spelling, grammar and basic phrasing; the Pro tier adds style rules and higher usage limits. Because it comes from the same language models DeepL built for translation, its sense of how a native speaker would actually phrase something is unusually good in German, English and several other European languages.

Where is DeepL Write based?

DeepL Write operates from Cologne, Germany, which places it under EU (Germany). Compliance: GDPR.

What does DeepL Write cost?

Free to use for basic corrections; Write Pro add-on from €6.99 per user/month billed annually, included automatically in DeepL Business and Enterprise plans. Free version, no separate trial needed.

Who is DeepL Write best for?

Writers who already trust DeepL for translation quality. The same phrasing model that makes DeepL's translations sound native, pointed at text you wrote yourself instead of text you're translating.

What are the drawbacks of DeepL Write?

Fewer languages than LanguageTool. No self-hosted or offline option. Write Pro is a separate paid add-on outside Business/Enterprise. Generates no new content, only corrects existing text.
