Convert PDFs, photos, handwriting and Word files into LaTeX that compiles
About styleLatex
styleLatex is an AI LaTeX converter that turns PDFs, phone photos, screenshots, handwritten notes and Word files into LaTeX source you can edit. Retyping a paper, a problem sheet or a page of lecture notes into LaTeX by hand is slow, and the hardest parts to retype are exactly the ones that matter most: fractions, integrals, matrices, numbered equations and tables. styleLatex reads each page with a vision model, writes the LaTeX, and then compiles it with XeLaTeX before you ever see the result, so what comes back is source that builds rather than a rough first draft you still have to debug.
What sets it apart from a plain image-to-math recognizer is the repair loop. When the compiler rejects a page, styleLatex reads the real error log and sends the page back to the model to fix, for up to two repair rounds. The model is instructed to transcribe exactly and never to solve, correct or summarise what is on the page, and anything it cannot read with certainty is marked [unreadable] in bold instead of being invented. Pricing is simple: the first 5 pages are free, after which one credit converts one page. Paid plans are Starter at $8/month for 200 pages and Pro at $16/month for 500 pages, or $72 and $144 billed yearly. A set of conversion tools that run in the browser, such as Excel to LaTeX and Markdown, HTML and Typst conversions, costs nothing.
You start by dropping a file into the converter or pasting a screenshot with Ctrl+V. It accepts PDF, PNG, JPG, WebP, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx) and CSV. For a PDF, styleLatex shows a thumbnail of each page, up to 100, so you tick only the pages you need. Word files are read in your browser and split into parts of 6,000 characters, each charged like a page, and tall images are split into overlapping strips so small print stays readable.
Once the conversion starts, a progress bar counts finished pages. Each page is read as an image, written as LaTeX, compiled and repaired. The result opens with the LaTeX source beside a PDF preview, so you can compare a table or a matrix against the original, edit the code, and press Compile to see the change.
When you are happy, you export the source as a .tex file, download the compiled PDF, save a Word copy, or grab a .zip with the cropped figures. Every result stays in your history, so you can reopen it, edit it and download it again later. Pages that fail are refunded automatically.
- •Compile-checked output - Every page is compiled with XeLaTeX. If the build breaks, the model reads the actual compiler error and fixes the page, for up to two rounds, so broken environments and missing braces are caught before the result reaches you.
- •Math and tables done properly - Fractions, integrals, matrices and numbered equations are written with amsmath, and tables come back as tabular code with booktabs rules and multirow cells. A single equation from a cropped screenshot and a full problem sheet go through the same converter.
- •Handwriting and photo input - Phone photos of a whiteboard, scans and handwritten notes are supported alongside clean PDFs. Printed pages convert most reliably, and handwriting accuracy depends on how neat it is, which the site states plainly.
- •Figures kept, not redrawn - Diagrams, plots and photos inside a page are cropped out, up to eight per page, referenced from the source where they appeared, and bundled in a .zip next to your .tex file, ready to upload to Overleaf.
- •Honest uncertainty markers - Characters the model cannot read with certainty are marked [unreadable] in bold, so you know exactly where to check, rather than receiving a confident guess.
- •Conversions in both directions - Separate tools turn LaTeX into Word with native, editable equations (via Pandoc), into HTML, Markdown or Typst, and render a single formula as a PNG. Excel and CSV tables become booktabs LaTeX in the browser.
styleLatex is built for students turning coursework, problem sets and lecture notes into LaTeX, and for researchers who need to rebuild an old paper, a scanned chapter or a co-author's PDF as editable source. Teachers and teaching assistants who write exams and worksheets with heavy math will find the equation and table handling saves the most time. Anyone who moves between LaTeX and Word, for example when a journal office or a collaborator asks for a .docx, can use the reverse conversion, which keeps equations editable. Occasional users can stay on the free browser tools and the first 5 free pages, while the Starter plan suits coursework and the Pro plan suits regular research and teaching work.
