How can we help?

Turnitin Connect is an independent service that allows users to seamlessly upload academic documents and check them for AI-generated text and plagiarism. Our similarity reports are powered by advanced machine learning models that provide you with the exact same level of insight your instructor receives.

No! We recently transitioned to a completely seamless authentication system. You no longer need to manually copy and paste license keys. Simply sign in with your authorized email or GitHub account, and your quota will be automatically synced across all your devices instantly.

We currently only support .PDF files for processing at this time. Make sure your PDF is under 50MB and contains selectable text (scanned image PDFs without OCR will not be able to be checked for plagiarism).

Yes, documents must contain a minimum of 300 words. The AI detection and plagiarism algorithms require a sufficient amount of text to analyze writing patterns accurately. Scans with fewer than 300 words are not supported.

Our AI detection is powered by state-of-the-art machine learning models that are continuously benchmarked to mirror institutional AI results. We accurately flag text generated by all the latest new models including Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-5, Fable 5, and even advanced paraphrasing tools (like Quillbot).

Most standard essay scans complete within 10 to 30 seconds depending on current server load. Longer dissertations, thesis papers, or documents with highly complex formatting may take up to a minute to process fully.

A Combo Report provides a unified view of your document. Instead of having to check two different files, our system merges the Plagiarism Similarity Index and the AI Detection Index into a single, beautifully formatted, downloadable PDF that you can use to verify your work's integrity.

Absolutely not. We operate on a strict "No Repository" policy. When you upload a document, it is scanned purely in RAM. It is never added to any institutional database, meaning it will never show up as a 100% match when you later submit it to your school or university.

No. We guarantee that your text snippets and reports are never logged on our servers after your session ends, nor are they ever used for any machine learning model training. Your intellectual property remains 100% yours.

Your subscription grants you a specific number of scans per day (e.g., 20 scans/day on the 15-Day plan). This limit automatically resets at midnight UTC every day. If you run out of scans during finals week, you can purchase an instant "Daily Quota Reset Booster" from the top menu!

If you don't need a full subscription, you can buy a One-Time Pass. This grants you a single, high-priority scan that never expires. You can hold onto these passes in your account indefinitely and use them exactly when you need them.
