Citation Generator

Features
Read full description

Citelle builds citations from the real record, not a guess. Paste a DOI, an ISBN, a link or a title and Citelle looks it up at doi.org, Crossref, Open Library or the web page itself, then formats the entry with its in-text citation. CITE IN SECONDS β€’ Paste a DOI, ISBN, link or title and tap Find β€’ Scan the ISBN barcode on a book's back cover β€’ Take a photo of a reference line; the text is read on your iPhone β€’ Edit any field by hand, or enter a source manually 8 CITATION STYLES APA 7, MLA 9 and Chicago author-date are free. Pro adds Chicago notes-bibliography, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver and ABNT. Switch style and every entry reformats instantly. CHECK AI SOURCES Paste an answer from any AI chatbot or a reference list. Each reference is looked up in Crossref, Semantic Scholar and Open Library and marked found, close match (with what differs, such as the year) or not found. "Not found" is not proof a source is fake: some local journals, books and grey literature aren't indexed, so look those up before you cite them. YOUR BIBLIOGRAPHY β€’ Sorted the way each style requires, with in-text citations β€’ Copy it into Word, Pages or Google Docs with italics kept β€’ Pro exports Word-ready .rtf with hanging indents, plus BibTeX and RIS for LaTeX PRIVATE No account and no Citelle server. Bibliographies stay on your iPhone; only what you look up is sent to the record services. FREE AND PRO Free: one bibliography with up to 10 sources, APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago author-date and the first 3 lines of each AI check. Pro: unlimited bibliographies, all 8 styles, full AI checks and file export. Pro is available as a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
