BibTeX to RIS Converter

Moving from LaTeX tooling to a reference manager means translating BibTeX's @article/@book entries into RIS's TY/AU/TI tags. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — field mappings included — and hands you a .ris file any manager imports.

When you need this

Typical trigger: a new co-author works in Zotero, your shared references are a .bib in the repo, and someone has to bridge the gap.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert BibTeX to RIS?
Moving from LaTeX tooling to a reference manager means translating BibTeX's @article/@book entries into RIS's TY/AU/TI tags. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — field mappings included — and hands you a .ris file any manager imports. Everything is free, with no account and no conversion limit.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No — the BibTeX you paste or upload is parsed entirely in your browser. The conversion runs fully offline in the page — nothing is sent to any server.
When is a BibTeX to RIS conversion useful?
Typical trigger: a new co-author works in Zotero, your shared references are a .bib in the repo, and someone has to bridge the gap.
Can I convert to other styles and formats too?
Yes. CitationEasy's generator formats any source in 10,832 citation styles, the bibliography exports Word, RTF, BibTeX, RIS, and CSL-JSON, and the converter hub lists every direct conversion pair. If you need a style-to-style rewrite of already-formatted text, use the Citation Format Converter tool instead.
