Repurpo

Live

Rewrites one post into platform-native versions for LinkedIn, Telegram, Instagram, X and Threads with no account connections required — paste text, get five versions, then post them yourself.

No subscription
What to know▼
How it works
Paste a link or text, select platforms, and get five platform-native rewrites for Telegram, LinkedIn, Instagram, X and VK in about 1.8 seconds. Brand voice is set either by feeding it 3-5 sample posts to auto-detect tone, or by configuring 12 parameters per platform manually.
What's different
Rewrites tone and format per platform rather than just cross-posting or scheduling the same text, and requires no API keys or OAuth connections.
Best for
Content creators, founders and marketers who post the same content across multiple platforms and want each version to read as native rather than copy-pasted.
