Equation Editor

Turn LaTeX into a Math Picture.

Loading…

Word processors and slide tools make typing math slow. LaTeX is quicker once you know a few commands: \frac for a fraction, ^ for a power, \sqrt for a root. Type it here and the typeset equation appears underneath.

Buttons insert the common pieces, so you don't need to remember the syntax for a matrix or an integral. Pick a color and a size, then save a PNG with a transparent background, or an SVG that stays sharp at any size.

How to use the Equation Editor tool

  1. Type LaTeX, or build the equation with the Insert buttons.
  2. Set the size and color.
  3. Download a PNG or SVG and place it in your document.
  • Equations for Word, Google Docs and PowerPoint
  • Math in blog posts and worksheets
  • Formulas for videos and thumbnails

Tips for the best result

  • Use SVG for print and for anything that will be scaled.
  • Tick white background if the picture is going onto a dark page.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know LaTeX?

A little helps, but the Insert buttons cover fractions, roots, sums, integrals, limits, matrices and Greek letters.

Which LaTeX commands work?

Standard math mode plus the AMS additions, such as align-style cases and matrices.

Why does it say LaTeX error?

A brace is unclosed or a command is misspelled. The message names the problem.

Can I get it back as text later?

Copy the LaTeX with the button and keep it with your document.
