LaTeX in, Word equations out.
Paste LaTeX — on its own or inside a whole answer — and download a .docx where every equation is native Office Math you can click and edit. Free, no signup.
Nothing uploads when you paste. The next page renders every equation before you download.

Equations on their own, or a whole answer or document that contains them. $…$, $$…$$, \(…\), and \[…\] are all recognized.
Every formula renders on the right as it will appear in the document. Anything the renderer cannot parse is shown in red so you can fix it before exporting.
Open it in Word and double-click any equation: it is native Office Math, editable in the equation editor, not a picture.
What actually happens to your equations
Word does not read LaTeX. It stores equations in its own format, Office Math (OMML), which is what its equation editor writes when you build a formula by hand. This converter bridges the two. When you paste, the text is scanned for math delimiters — dollar signs, and the \(…\) and \[…\] pairs that AI assistants prefer — and each formula is rendered in the preview by KaTeX, so you can see at once whether it parses. When you click Download DOCX, the document is sent once to our Pandoc-based service, which translates every TeX expression into OMML structures: a \frac becomes a Word fraction, a pmatrix a Word matrix, a \sum with limits a Word large operator. Nothing is rasterized, so the equations scale with the text, survive a change of font, and can be edited by whoever receives the file. The service keeps nothing; the temporary files are deleted after each request.
What converts, and into what
| In LaTeX | In the Word file |
|---|---|
| \frac{a}{b}, \sqrt{x}, \sqrt[3]{x} | Real fraction and radical objects in the Word equation editor. |
| \sum_{i=1}^{n}, \int_0^\infty, \lim_{x \to 0} | Large operators with upper and lower limits placed the way Word places them. |
| \begin{pmatrix} … \end{pmatrix}, bmatrix, vmatrix | Word matrices with the matching bracket style. |
| \begin{aligned} … \end{aligned} inside $$…$$ | A multi-line equation aligned on the = sign. |
| \begin{cases} … \end{cases} | A piecewise definition with a single brace. |
| \alpha, \beta, \pi, \nabla, \partial, \infty | Unicode math symbols in Word's Cambria Math. |
| x^{2}, a_{ij}, \hat{x}, \vec{v}, \bar{y} | Superscripts, subscripts, and accents as structures, not raised text. |
| \text{if } x > 0, \mathbf{A}, \mathbb{R} | Upright text runs and bold or blackboard styles inside the equation. |
| \section, \cite, \ref, \usepackage, TikZ | Not converted: these are LaTeX document commands, not math. Paste the body text with its equations, or use Pandoc for a whole manuscript (see below). |
Common questions
How do I convert LaTeX equations to Word?
Paste the LaTeX into the box at the top of this page. It can be a bare equation like $$E = mc^2$$, or a whole answer or report with equations inside it; the four common delimiters ($…$, $$…$$, \(…\), and \[…\]) are all recognized and normalized. The preview renders every formula so you can check it, then click Download DOCX. The file is built by Pandoc, which translates each TeX expression into Office Math (OMML), the same format Word's own equation editor writes. Open the document, double-click a formula, and edit it like any equation you typed in Word yourself. The whole flow is free and needs no account.
Are the equations really editable in Word, or are they images?
Editable. Most LaTeX-to-Word tools take the easy route and paste a rendered picture of each formula, which looks right until you need to change a subscript or a reviewer asks for a different variable name. This converter writes native Office Math objects, so the fraction bars, radicals, matrices, and limits are live structures in the Word equation editor. You can retype parts, convert an equation to linear form, or change its font size with the rest of the paragraph. Google Docs and LibreOffice also read Office Math: Docs displays the equations, and LibreOffice converts them into its own formula objects on import.
Can I convert a whole .tex file?
Not as a LaTeX document. This page converts the mathematics: equations and the prose around them. LaTeX layout commands such as \section, \cite, \ref, \label, \usepackage, and TikZ figures are not interpreted, so a raw .tex manuscript will show those commands as text. Two options work well. Paste the body text with its equations (replace \section{Title} with a Markdown heading like ## Title) and export; or, for a complete manuscript with a bibliography and cross-references, run Pandoc directly on your machine with pandoc paper.tex -o paper.docx, which handles the document structure and uses the same equation translation this page does.
Which LaTeX commands are supported?
Everything KaTeX renders, which covers the math you would write in a paper or a problem set: fractions, roots, sums, products, integrals, limits, binomials, matrices of every bracket style, aligned and cases environments, Greek letters, operators, arrows, accents, bold and blackboard letters, text inside math, and sizing commands like \left and \right. Commands outside that set, or a typo such as an unclosed brace, are highlighted in red in the preview instead of silently disappearing, so you always know which formula needs attention before you download.
Does this work with LaTeX from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini answers?
Yes; that is the most common use. AI assistants write mathematics as LaTeX, sometimes with $ delimiters and sometimes with \( and \[, and pasting their answers straight into Word turns every formula into a line of raw code. Use the assistant's copy button under the reply so the Markdown structure comes through, paste it here, and the headings, tables, and equations all arrive in Word as native formatting. The ChatGPT equations page explains the quirks of each assistant's delimiters.
Is it free, and where does my document go?
Free, with no signup, quota, or watermark. The preview runs entirely in your browser. The Word export sends the text once to our Pandoc-based conversion service, because the equation translation runs on a server; the temporary files are deleted after each request and nothing is logged or kept. If you prefer a format that never leaves your browser, the same document exports to PDF with the equations rendered as vector graphics.
