YouTube Citation Generator

Turn the video details you provide into a copyable YouTube citation in APA, MLA, or Chicago style.

01 / CREDIT THE CREATORNo account needed

Use details from the original video. We do not fetch or guess them.

02 / READY TO REFERENCE

Good ideas deserve good credits.

Add the video details to create a citation you can copy into your work.

This is a plain-text reference. Apply the italics and hanging indent required by your style guide in your document, and check your institution’s requirements.

From your idea to your next post.

Find the original

Open the original YouTube video and collect the creator name, title, publication date, and video link.

Choose your style

Select APA, MLA, or Chicago. The formatter uses the details you provide, with no guessed metadata.

Add the finishing touches

Copy the reference into your document. Apply your style guide’s italics and hanging indent there.

Good to know.

Is the youtube citation generator free?

Yes. This tool is free to use, with no sign-up or download required. Open it in your browser and get started.

Does this look up video information?

No. You enter the original video details. That keeps the source clear and avoids guessed creator names or dates. Leave the date empty when it is genuinely unavailable.

Is the output ready for an academic document?

It gives you a plain-text reference in the selected style. Check your institution’s guidance, the author name format, and any required italics or hanging indent before submitting.
