Free online LaTeX to Word converter

Paste LaTeX or the contents of a .tex file, and download a .docx with equations you can edit in Word.

How to convert LaTeX to Word

  1. Paste your LaTeX

    Paste an equation, a few paragraphs, or the whole contents of a .tex file. You don't need to add a preamble.

  2. Convert to Word

    Select Convert to Word. Pandoc converts the LaTeX, and each equation becomes a native Word equation.

  3. Edit in Word

    Open equation.docx in Word and click into any equation to change it with Word's equation editor.

What happens to your LaTeX

Your LaTeX is converted to .docx with Pandoc, in a locked-down, ephemeral sandbox - no file or shell access, short timeout, nothing kept afterward. Pandoc parses the LaTeX source directly (it doesn't run a LaTeX engine), so a snippet can convert even if it wouldn't fully typeset - if you want to confirm it also compiles cleanly as real LaTeX, check it first with the LaTeX checker.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert a whole .tex file to Word?
Yes. Open the .tex file in a text editor and paste its contents in. If it starts with \documentclass it's converted as a full document; otherwise it's treated as a snippet and wrapped in a basic document for you. The tool is meant for an equation or a short document, not a full paper.
Are the equations editable in Word?
Yes. Pandoc writes them as native Word equations, not images, so you can click into one and change it with Word's equation editor.
Will the formatting match my LaTeX exactly?
Close, not pixel-perfect. Headings, lists, emphasis and equations carry over, but Word lays out a page differently from LaTeX, so spacing and fonts will differ.
Do I need an account?
No. The converter is free to use without signing up.
Does it work with Google Docs or LibreOffice?
The download is a standard .docx file, which Google Docs and LibreOffice can open. How faithfully they display Word equations is up to each editor, so check the equations after opening the file there.
Does chemistry notation (mhchem) convert?
No. Pandoc's LaTeX reader doesn't understand \ce{...} and drops it, leaving that part of the document blank. For chemistry, upload your notes to Scriveno's main converter instead. Convert chemistry notes
Why does it reject some commands?
Anyone on the internet can use this tool, so a small set of file and shell commands (such as \input, \write18 and \directlua) is blocked. Math and text formatting are unaffected.
My equations are handwritten. Can I still get them into Word?
Yes. Upload a photo or PDF of the page to Scriveno and download it as a Word document with editable equations, without typing the LaTeX first. Convert handwritten notes to Word
