About CiteLite

Why CiteLite Exists

Most citation generators bury a thirty-second task under pop-ups, autoplay video ads, paywalled “premium” styles, and sign-up walls. CiteLite is the opposite: a single fast page that formats your citation correctly and gets out of your way.

What It Does

• Formats webpages, journal articles, books, and online videos in APA 7, MLA 9, and Chicago 17.
• Generates the full reference entry plus in-text parenthetical and narrative citations.
• Builds a session bibliography that re-formats instantly when you switch styles.
• Exports to plain text or BibTeX, and copies citations with italics intact.

Our Promises

• No video ads, pop-ups, or interstitials — only unobtrusive display ads keep the site free.
• No accounts or sign-ups. Your work never leaves your browser.
• All three major styles, free forever.

One honest caveat: no generator is a substitute for the official style guide. Always give your citations a final look before you submit.
