Does a formalizer make my writing longer?

Slightly, because abbreviations expand and requests get a polite frame. It should not add paragraphs. If the output is twice the length of your input, it has padded rather than formalised.

Will it fix my grammar too?

Grammar and spelling are corrected as part of the rewrite, since formal register requires them. If correctness is all you need, a grammar checker is the lighter option.

Can I formalise only part of a message?

Yes. Paste just the paragraph you are unsure about and keep the rest as it is.

Formalizer

A formalizer takes text you already wrote and lifts its register: abbreviations expand, slang goes, sentences complete themselves, and blunt requests become polite ones. Meaning, names, numbers, and commitments stay exactly as you wrote them. Paste your text below to see it work.

What a formalizer changes, and what it must not

It changes vocabulary, sentence completeness, greetings and closings, and the framing of requests. It must not change facts, names, dates, amounts, conditions, or the strength of a commitment. A formalizer that turns 'I might be able to help' into 'I will help' has broken the text, however polished it reads.

Formalizing, rewriting and grammar correction are different jobs

A grammar checker fixes errors and leaves the register alone: 'i cant come' becomes 'I can't come'. A general rewriter may restructure and re-argue your text, changing emphasis. A formalizer keeps your content and structure and moves only the register: 'i cant come' becomes 'I regret that I am unable to attend'. Use a grammar tool for correctness, a formalizer for audience.

Who gets the most out of one

Students writing to lecturers and administrators. Job applicants and anyone drafting a cover message. Support and sales staff answering complaints. Non-native writers who understand the language but not its register cues. Anyone typing quickly on a phone who does not want speed to look like carelessness.
