Thesis statement generator
Give it your topic, the position you are taking and the reasons behind it, and get a thesis sentence you can sharpen. A draft to work from, not an essay to hand in.
- Runs on your device
- Four statement types
- No account needed
Draft a thesis statement
Nothing is uploaded — drafting happens in this tab
Argumentative, analytical, expository and compare & contrast
Three steps, about two minutes
Name your topic
Give the subject and the specific angle you are taking, not just the broad field it sits in.
State your position
Add the claim you are making, then the key reasons behind it, separated by commas.
Edit the draft
Take the generated sentence as a starting point and rework the wording into your own voice.
A starting sentence, not a shortcut
- Four statement types. Argumentative, analytical, expository and compare & contrast, matched to the essay you are writing.
- Claim and reasons together. The draft pairs your position with why it holds, which is what markers look for.
- Meant to be edited. It is a first sentence to rework, not something to paste in unchanged.
- Nothing leaves the tab. Your topic and notes are processed in your browser.
About this tool
Will this write my essay for me?
No, and it should not. It drafts one sentence to organise your argument. The reasoning, the evidence and the writing are still yours.
Is it acceptable to use for coursework?
Using a tool to shape a thesis sentence is normally treated like using an outline or a planner. Check your institution’s policy, and always rewrite the draft in your own words.
What is the difference between the four types?
Argumentative takes a side you then defend. Analytical breaks a subject into parts and examines them. Expository explains a topic without arguing a position. Compare & contrast sets two subjects against each other.
Why does my statement feel generic?
Usually the topic is too broad. Narrow it to a specific case, group or timeframe, and add real reasons rather than placeholders, and the draft sharpens considerably.
Is my topic stored anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded or logged.
