An active community of Zotero users has developed plugins to provide enhancements, new features, and interfaces with other programs.

We don't currently provide a list of available plugins, but most plugins are announced and discussed in the Zotero Forums. An official plugin directory is planned.

To install a plugin in Zotero, download its .xpi file to your computer. Then, in Zotero, go to “Tools → Plugins” and drag the .xpi onto the Plugins window.

Be aware that plugins have full access to your Zotero and your computer. You should only install plugins from developers you trust.

Note: Word processor plugins for Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs are bundled with Zotero. Extensions for Firefox, Chrome, and Edge are available from the download page.
