Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about converting LaTeX formulas into images.
How do I copy a LaTeX equation image without downloading a file?▼
Simply click the "Copy PNG Image" button in the export bar. LaTeXTool renders the equation into a transparent PNG blob and writes it directly to your system clipboard using modern Web Clipboard APIs. You can immediately press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac) to paste it straight into Google Slides, PowerPoint, Notion, Figma, Discord, or Slack.
Are the exported PNG images transparent?▼
Yes! By default, the canvas is set to "Transparent", producing clean, transparent PNG images with no white box around your math. You can also select Pure White, Dark Mode (white math on charcoal for dark presentation slides), or warm Paper.
Can I export equations at 300 DPI for thesis or journal printing?▼
Yes. In the Resolution toolbar, select "3x (300 DPI Print)" or "4x (Ultra HD)". The tool rasterizes mathematical glyphs from crisp vector vectors, guaranteeing razor-sharp publication quality suitable for academic papers, print posters, and 4K displays.
How is this faster than latex2image.joeraut.com or server converters?▼
Traditional tools like latex2image.joeraut.com send your formula to an AWS cloud server that runs a full TeX installation, taking 2 to 5 seconds per formula. LaTeXTool renders everything 100% inside your browser using client-side WebAssembly, KaTeX, and MathJax vector rendering. Conversions happen in under 5 milliseconds with zero network lag and complete privacy.
Does this tool support multi-line equations and matrices?▼
Yes. You can write multi-line environments such as \begin{aligned} ... \end{aligned}, \begin{cases} ... \end{cases}, and \begin{pmatrix} ... \end{pmatrix}. Checking the "Multi-line aligned mode" toggle automatically wraps single-line inputs into an aligned environment.
Are my formulas private and secure?▼
100% private. LaTeXTool does not upload your equations to any server, database, or analytics endpoint. All typesetting, SVG drawing, and PNG rasterization take place entirely within your browser on your device.
