Understand the Fine Print — In Plain English

Have you ever clicked "I Agree" without reading the terms and conditions? You're not alone — and you're not lazy. You're just busy, and legal documents are often written in a way that feels deliberately hard to read.

At TermsToText.com, we're changing that.

We use artificial intelligence to turn long, complex legal text into plain English summaries that you can understand in seconds. Whether it's a privacy policy, app agreement, or contract, our tool helps you make informed choices without needing a law degree.

No sign-up. No tracking. Just clarity.

Learn more about our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Why Legal Documents Are Hard to Read
  • They're too long
  • They're full of jargon
  • They hide key information
  • They assume legal knowledge
  • They're designed to protect the company, not you

What Is TermsToText.com?

TermsToText.com is a free online tool that converts legal text — like T&Cs, privacy policies, and service agreements — into clear, human-readable language.

Paste your document into our tool, and within seconds, you'll get a concise, bullet-point summary of the key points. You can read it, copy it, and even share it with others.

We use advanced AI language models trained to interpret legal language and simplify it without losing meaning. It's like having a legal translator in your pocket — only faster, and free.

Research Shows

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found that many online terms contain unfair or hidden clauses.

That's where TermsToText comes in.

Frequently Asked Questions

TermsToText.com is a free online tool that uses AI to convert complex legal documents — like terms and conditions, privacy policies, and contracts — into plain English summaries. It's designed to help everyday people understand what they're agreeing to.

Yes — the core tool is completely free to use, with no signup or hidden charges. We may add optional premium features in the future (like saving summaries or browser extensions), but the basic simplification tool will remain free.

No. Your input is never stored, logged, or shared. All processing happens in real time and your data is immediately discarded after the summary is generated. We take privacy very seriously.

You can simplify:
  • Terms & Conditions
  • Privacy Policies
  • End User Licence Agreements (EULAs)
  • Rental agreements or service contracts
  • Warranties and refund policies

Basically, any legal or policy-based text you want to understand better.

We use state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) trained on a wide range of legal and general text. These models can summarise and simplify content effectively, though they do not replace legal advice from a qualified solicitor.

Yes. Once the summary is generated, you can copy it with a single click or save it manually. In future updates, we plan to offer a download or "save summary" feature.

No — TermsToText is a simplification and educational tool. It's not a legal service and should not be relied upon for high-stakes decisions. For anything serious (e.g. signing a mortgage, major business deal, or complex contract), you should always consult a qualified solicitor or legal professional.

Absolutely. TermsToText.com works seamlessly on smartphones, tablets, and desktops. There's no need to install anything — it runs directly in your browser.

Yes, though extremely long documents may take slightly longer to process. For best results, we recommend pasting in sections of large documents rather than uploading massive files all at once. A future update may support file uploads and batch processing.

Currently, TermsToText works best with English-language documents. We're exploring multi-language support, so stay tuned for updates on that.

For now, you can manually compare the original with the simplified summary on-screen. We're working on a "side-by-side" view that will make this even easier in a future release.

TermsToText.com was created by a small UK-based team behind Plainly.Tools — a suite of AI-powered tools built to simplify the online world. Our mission is to help people navigate digital complexity with confidence and clarity.
