Good to know
Paragraph Shortener works by removing filler words and simplifying wordy phrases, with a stronger level cutting more; the keep-first-sentence option preserves the opening sentence. It edits your existing wording rather than inventing new text, so the meaning of what remains stays yours. Very short paragraphs have little to trim. Review the result to be sure no needed detail was cut.
