Data standardization has become one of the leading methods neuroimaging researchers rely on for data sharing and reproducibility. promotes a common framework through which can utilize others' data. Yet, as today, formatting datasets that adhere to community best practices requires technical expertise involving coding considerable knowledge file formats standards. We describe ezBIDS, tool converting associated metadata Brain Imaging Structure (BIDS) standard. ezBIDS provides four unique features: (1) No installation or programming requirements. (2) Handling both imaging task events metadata. (3) Automated inference guidance adherence BIDS. (4) Multiple management options: download BIDS local system, transfer OpenNeuro.org brainlife.io. In sum, neither proficiency nor is first offer guided standardization, support conversion, interoperability with OpenNeuro
