Extensive research shows that Scribbr's plagiarism checker, in partnership with Turnitin, detects plagiarism more accurately than other tools, making it the no. 1 choice for students.
Scribbr is an authorized partner of Turnitin, a leader in plagiarism prevention. Its software detects everything from exact word matches to synonym swapping.
Your submissions are compared to the world’s largest content database, covering 91 billion webpages, 69 million publications, and over 20 languages.

Ace your admissions essay to your dream college.
Compare your admissions essay to billions of web pages, including other essays.
Submit your assignments with confidence.

Your submissions will never be added to our content database, and you’ll never get a 100% match at your academic institution.

You would never copy-and-paste someone else’s work, you’re great at paraphrasing, and you always keep a tidy list of your sources handy.
But what about accidental plagiarism? It’s more common than you think! Maybe you paraphrased a little too closely, or forgot that last citation or set of quotation marks.
Even if you did it by accident, plagiarism is still a serious offense. You may fail your course, or be placed on academic probation. The risks just aren’t worth it.
Scribbr is committed to protecting academic integrity. Our plagiarism checker software, APA Citation Generator, proofreading services, and free Knowledge Base content are designed to help educate and guide students in avoiding unintentional plagiarism.
We make every effort to prevent our software from being used for fraudulent or manipulative purposes.
The Scribbr Plagiarism Checker is powered by elements of Turnitin’s Similarity Checker, namely the plagiarism detection software and the Internet Archive and Premium Scholarly Publications content databases.
If your university uses Turnitin, the result will be very similar to what you see at Scribbr.
The only possible difference is that your university may compare your submission to a private database containing previously submitted student papers. Scribbr does not have access to these private databases (and neither do other plagiarism checkers).
Luckily, many papers, theses, and dissertations are also published in public databases that Scribbr does have access to.
The Scribbr Plagiarism Checker, powered by Turnitin, compares your submissions against the largest and fastest-growing content database in the world:
Scribbr does not have access to Turnitin’s global database with student papers. Only your university can add and compare submissions to this database.
No, the Scribbr Plagiarism Checker does not publish your submissions in any public database (unlike other plagiarism checkers).
