Citation Builder by pp4mnk is an academic citation generator designed for students, teachers, and researchers who work with online sources every day.

From any web page, you can:

Click the extension icon

Click “Capture from page” to automatically read:

Author (if available in meta tags)

The generated citation appears in a dedicated text box, ready to be:

Copied to the clipboard

Saved into your personal citation library

Your library is stored locally using the browser’s storage and can be exported:
