Free, no sign-up
Cite any website, and keep the page you cited
Paste an address. Snip saves the page as it is right now and writes the citation in APA, MLA, Chicago and BibTeX, pointing at the saved copy, so your reader sees what you saw.
What you get
Cite a website
Four styles
APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago and BibTeX, from the page's own title, author, site name and date.
A copy that stays
The citation points at the version you saved, so it still shows the same text if the page is edited or taken down.
Nothing made up
No author or date is invented: what the page does not say, the citation leaves out or marks n.d.
How it works
- 01
Paste the address. An article, a report, a post, a docs page: any public web page.
- 02
Snip saves the page. One load in a real browser, kept as text, a screenshot and a PDF.
- 03
Copy the citation. Pick the style your class or journal asks for. The archive link is in it.
Questions
About citing websites.
Which citation styles are there?
APA 7th edition, MLA 9th edition, Chicago (bibliography) and BibTeX for LaTeX. Each is plain text, ready to paste.
Why does the citation include a second link?
It points at the copy Snip saved, which shows the page exactly as you cited it. Many style guides suggest a stable or archived link for pages that change, and readers can open it even if the original is gone.
What if the page has no author or date?
The citation leaves the author out and uses n.d. for no date, as the style guides say. Snip never guesses either. Check the citation against the page before you hand it in.
Is it free?
Yes. Without an account you can save 10 pages a day. A free account saves 50 a day and keeps every citation's page in your dashboard.
