What does Formatly actually do?

Formatly formats your document — margins, spacing, fonts, headings, page layout, and structure — all matched to your chosen style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). We don't edit your writing, check grammar, or validate citations. You write it; we make it look right.

Which citation styles are supported?

Formatly supports APA 7th edition, MLA 9th edition, Chicago Manual of Style, Harvard, and Turabian. We continuously evaluate new styles based on user requests.

How long does formatting take?

Most documents are formatted in about 30 seconds. The time depends on document size and length, but our engine is optimised for speed without sacrificing accuracy.

Yes. Your documents are processed in real-time and only you can access them. We never see, store, or share your content — your work stays yours.

The Ultimate APA 7th Edition Formatting Guide

Understanding APA 7th Edition Guidelines

Have you ever faced the dread of grading anxiety over margins, headings, and citations?

APA 7th edition requires: 1-inch margins, double-spacing, 0.5-inch paragraph indentation, 11-pt Calibri or 12-pt Times New Roman. Student papers need a title page with title, author, institution, course, instructor, and due date. No running head for student papers. Five-level heading hierarchy. References page with hanging indents and DOIs.
