It opens on APA 7th edition, the style most students search for, and the same source can be re-rendered in MLA or Chicago with one click, without re-typing anything.
There is no account, no sign-up and no ads inside the tool, and your list is saved in your own browser with no expiry date. Every format is verified against the official manuals — the Publication Manual, 7th edition, the MLA Handbook, 9th edition, and The Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition — and our published test results are on the accuracy page.
