LaTeX to PNG
Type LaTeX math, see it rendered as you type, and download it as a PNG at the resolution you need. Runs entirely in your browser.
How to use it
- Type or paste the LaTeX (math mode; use \text{} for words).
- Pick the font size, the colour, a transparent or white background, and the scale (2x for retina screens, 4x or more for print).
- Download the PNG, or copy it to the clipboard and paste it straight into your slide or document.
Why you'd use it
Slides, Google Docs, Notion, a poster in PowerPoint, an issue on GitHub: none of them typeset LaTeX, and all of them take an image. Rendering an equation to PNG is the way math gets into every document that is not LaTeX.
Rendering happens in your browser with MathJax, so the equation is never sent anywhere, and the PNG is sharp at any scale because it is drawn from vector output.
FAQ
What resolution should I pick?
1x matches a screen at 96 dpi. 2x for retina displays and slides, 4x for documents that will be printed, 8x for posters. The image scales without blurring because it is rasterised from vectors at the chosen size.
Can I get a transparent background?
Yes. Transparent is the default, so the equation sits on any slide colour. Choose white for documents that flatten transparency.
Which LaTeX is supported?
Everything MathJax's TeX input supports: AMS math, matrices, alignments, \text, colours, and the common packages (amsmath, amssymb, bm, cancel, mathtools). Document-level commands and custom packages are not.
Can I copy the image instead of downloading it?
Yes. Copy PNG puts the image on the clipboard, so it pastes into PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Docs, Notion or a chat window without a file. It works in current Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox 127 or later; older browsers get a message and the download instead.
Why not SVG?
SVG is better where it is supported (web pages, Inkscape, some slide tools). The LaTeX to SVG page gives the same rendering as vector output.
