About

"Explain This" turns any text you select on the web into a clear result without copying it into another tab or app.

Select text, right-click, and choose an action:
 • Explain Simply — plain-language explanations of complex text
 • Summarize — a concise, faithful summary
 • Translate — into your chosen language
 • Convert to Bullet Points — structured, scannable points
 • Rewrite Professionally — polished, professional wording

The result appears in a small panel right on the page. Copy it in one click and keep working.

Privacy first: Explain This only processes the text you explicitly select. It does not read whole pages, track your browsing, or store your selections or results. An anonymous, randomly generated identifier is used only to enforce a daily free usage limit — never to identify you.
