Image to LaTeX

Screenshot a formula from any paper or PDF, drop it here, and get the LaTeX code — with a live rendered preview so you can verify it matches before pasting into your document.

The snip workflow (works on any PDF)

Papers, textbooks, lecture slides, Overleaf previews — anything on your screen: hit your snipping shortcut (Win+Shift+S on Windows, Cmd+Shift+4 on Mac), crop tightly around one formula, and drop the image here. The engine reads printed mathematical notation — trained on real LaTeX renders — and returns code you can paste straight into your document. The rendered preview below the code lets you eyeball-verify the match instantly.

Honest limits: handwritten math and exotic fonts reduce accuracy, and multi-line derivations work best snipped line by line. That's the state of the art for every formula OCR, including the paid ones.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an image of an equation to LaTeX?
Screenshot the equation (crop tightly), drop it above, copy the code. A rendered preview appears alongside so you can confirm the OCR matches before using it.
How accurate is the formula recognition?
In closed-loop benchmarks (true LaTeX renders → OCR → compare) our tuned pipeline scores 10/10 semantic accuracy on printed formulas — screenshots from papers, textbooks and Overleaf are exactly the engine's home domain. Handwritten formulas and unusual fonts degrade accuracy; crop tightly around a single printed formula for best results.
Does it work on handwritten formulas?
Printed notation is the sweet spot — handwriting recognition is significantly less reliable (true of all formula OCR tools). If you must, write large and neat, but expect to correct the output.
Is LatexWiz free?
The table generator and BibTeX generator run entirely in your browser — free and unlimited. Upload tools (formula OCR, LaTeX↔Word) are free for 10 jobs a day up to 8 MB; larger files use credits ($9 for 50).
What happens to my files?
Uploads are used only to run your conversion and stored briefly so you can download results. Client-side tools (table generator, BibTeX) never upload anything at all. We don't share files or train on them.
