Which tone to pick
Tone is how your words feel to the reader, separate from what they say. The same request can sound demanding, warm or apologetic. Use this guide to match the tone to the moment.
| Tone | Sounds like | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| Professional | Clear, polite, confident | Work email, LinkedIn, client updates |
| Friendly / Casual | Warm, relaxed, conversational | Team chat, newsletters, social captions |
| Formal / Academic | Precise, impersonal, structured | Applications, reports, official letters |
| Persuasive / Assertive | Direct, benefit-led, decisive | Sales copy, pitches, follow-ups |
| Empathetic | Understanding, gentle | Apologies, support replies, hard news |
| Humorous / Inspirational / Storytelling | Playful, uplifting or narrative | Social posts, bios, brand stories, prompts |
How to change the tone of text and keep it yours
A tone changer is a starting point, not a final draft. Read the rewrite out loud. If a phrase sounds like something you'd never say, change it back. Check names, numbers and dates are untouched; the AI is told to keep facts as they are, but it's your message.
- Rewrite one message at a time. Short, focused text gets a sharper result than a whole document.
- Try two tones and blend them. Professional for the structure, Friendly for the opening line.
- Use the three change notes to learn the pattern, so next time you write in that tone yourself.
Your text and privacy
Rewriting runs on an AI language model, so the text you paste is sent to PicX's servers to be rewritten. Leave out passwords, account numbers and anything confidential.
If you work with sensitive material, swap real names and figures for placeholders like [Client] or [Amount] before you paste, rewrite the tone, then put the real details back in your own editor. You still get the new voice, and the private parts never leave your device.
