Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Grafiati is a web-based bibliographic manager for students, researchers, writers, and professionals who need to create, organize, convert, and export references. It supports citation generation in numerous international and national styles, catalogue search, source addition, bibliography management, and URL-based metadata extraction for some online sources. AI-powered metadata collection and reference extraction add another route for building references, while users can edit, copy, and convert entries between citation styles.
The published plans show a paid structure built around bibliography capacity and export features. Basic provides 1 bibliography and a maximum of 20 references for 7 days. Cosmic Bibliography costs $2 per month, billed monthly, and adds unlimited references, Microsoft Word export, and all catalogue filters within 1 bibliography. Zero Gravity costs $8 per month, billed monthly, and adds unlimited bibliographies and no ads alongside unlimited references, Microsoft Word export, and all catalogue filters. The pricing page states that prices may vary by country or region.
Grafiati fits citation-heavy workflows that move between styles or source formats. Its import support covers BibTeX, BibLaTeX, RIS, and EndNote, while exports include Microsoft Word, BibTeX, and BibLaTeX. Catalogue and URL tools support source discovery and metadata collection, and the listed integrations include YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion. The service is web-only, and the Basic plan's short duration and reference limit make it better suited to a brief evaluation than ongoing work. Choose Grafiati for international style coverage and reference conversion; consider an alternative if you need a time-unlimited free plan or a desktop application.
