Here’s how to use the MLA Document Formatter from start to finish.
First, upload your paper. Drag and drop a PDF or Word document into the upload area, or click to browse. The app supports PDF and DOCX files up to 20 megabytes. Your text is converted and shown in an MLA-formatted preview—nothing is sent to a server; everything runs in your browser.
Second, add your MLA heading if you want it. Fill in your name, your instructor’s name, the course, and the date. Those appear at the top of the first page in standard MLA style.
Third, add your sources. You can type in each source by hand—book, journal article, or website—using the form. Or paste citations that are already in NLM, APA, or Chicago format, choose that format in the dropdown, and click “Import and convert to MLA.” The app converts them and adds them to your Works Cited list, which is sorted alphabetically and formatted in MLA 9th edition.
Fourth, check your writing. After your paper is loaded, use “Grade writing” to see feedback on length, sentence variety, and structure. Turn on “Spell check” to enable the browser’s spell checker on your paper so you can fix misspellings right in the preview.
Finally, save or print. Click “Print / Save as PDF” to open the print dialog. Choose “Save as PDF” or print to paper. Your formatted paper and Works Cited page are included. Use “Upload another file” to start over with a new document.
That’s it: upload, add heading and sources, grade and spell-check, then print or save as PDF.
