InstaText now supports editing in French

InstaText is your advanced editing assistant in English – and now we support French too, with 100,000 free characters a month (BETA).

InstaText now supports editing in French

InstaText now supports French editing in the Beta version! As of June 2025, InstaText users can improve their French writing with our new language support, offering 100,000 characters each month completely free – that’s about 20,000 words or 80 pages of standard text. 

For years, InstaText has been the go-to editing assistant for thousands of professionals, academics, and everyday users around the world, helping them communicate effectively in English with the clarity and sophistication of a native speaker

Now, you can also edit dozens of emails, essays, or reports in French every month with InstaText. 

Our English editing remains our flagship, most advanced and professional-grade service, refined through years of data training. Meanwhile, we’re continuously improving our French language support to provide even better editing suggestions over time. 

Why choose InstaText for French?

Greater speed and convenience: Many AI chatbots require switching apps or copying text, but InstaText provides instant suggestions directly where you write through integrations and a browser extension – from Gmail and WhatsApp to LinkedIn, Word, Google Docs, and Overleaf. No copy-pasting or waiting for responses required, making your editing process seamless and boosting productivity.

Deep editing: Unlike basic grammar checkers, InstaText doesn’t just correct mistakes. It transforms your writing by enhancing word choice, clarity, readability, and language accuracy, while preserving your authentic voice, authorship, and originality thanks to the technology behind it.

“Of course, there’s Grammarly, a writing assistant that checks the spelling, grammar, punctuation, and clarity of your writing, corrects common errors, and occasionally gives you suggestions for rewording. The thing about Grammarly, though, is that it’s a good proofreader, but not an editor. And, as any skilled writer will be happy to tell you, the editing is the secret.”

— Jim Stonos, Writer and Editor

“This tool is outstanding, exceeded my expectations. I’m used to using Grammarly but InstaText is a more thorough tool and comes up with much better suggestions for rewrites. A game changer for editing.”

— Stephan Skovlund, Business Consultant

“I am a translator and proofreader by profession and have tried many editing tools. It’s not an exaggeration to say that all the other apps I’ve used so far don’t come close to InstaText. It is literally innovative and revolutionary and has taken the editing game to a new level, leaving other competitors in the dust.”

— Dr. Ghodrat Hassani, Researcher in Translation Studies
