A tool that cleans and formats BibTeX bibliography files, available as a CLI, JavaScript/TypeScript API, browser app, Docker image, and pre-commit hook. It aligns fields, normalizes values, removes unwanted fields, and sorts entries.

Use cases

• tidy and format a messy .bib file
• sort and align bibtex entries consistently
• remove unwanted fields from bibliography entries
• enforce consistent bibtex formatting in a pre-commit hook
• clean up citations exported from reference managers
• format bibtex files in the browser without installing anything

When to choose

• you work with LaTeX/BibTeX bibliographies and want consistent formatting
• you need a CLI, API, or browser-based bibtex formatter
• you want to automate bibtex cleanup via pre-commit hooks or CI

When to avoid

• you need a full reference manager (e.g. Zotero, JabRef)
• your bibliography format is not BibTeX (e.g. BibLaTeX-specific features may be limited)
• you need to deduplicate or fetch bibliographic metadata from the web
