What people ask.
Is the citation generator free?+
Yes — it's free and needs no account. It's rate-limited so everyone gets a fair turn, but there's no credit cost and no sign-up.
What can I paste in?+
A web page URL, a DOI, or raw reference details. For a DOI snizzly looks the record up on Crossref; for a URL it reads the page's own metadata; for raw details it formats exactly what you give it.
Will it invent missing details?+
No. It formats only the metadata it can actually resolve or that you provide — it never guesses authors, dates or titles. If a field is missing it formats around it per each style's rules, and tells you when a source was thin.
Which styles does it cover?+
APA (7th edition), MLA (9th edition), Chicago (author-date) and Harvard — all four at once, each with a one-click copy.
