LaTeX Squiggly

Write maths anywhere: type \alpha or $x^2$ in any text box to get α or x², or render LaTeX to an image to paste.

Type LaTeX in any text box and get real symbols the moment you press space: \alpha becomes α, $x^2$ becomes x². Select LaTeX on any page, right-click and choose Render selection as image. Copy it as a PNG and paste it into a chat, an email, a slide or a doc. TYPING • \alpha → α $x^2$ → x² \mathbb{R} → ℝ \sum_{i=1}^{n} → ∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ • 202 symbols, plus superscripts, subscripts, fractions and roots • The result is ordinary text, so anyone can read, copy and search it • If something can't be written exactly in plain text, a short note says what it did RENDERER • For maths plain text can't hold, like stacked fractions and matrices • Live preview, command suggestions, colours, braces, a transparent background and a history • Alt+Shift+E opens it. Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on a Mac) copies the PNG WHERE IT WORKS • Text boxes, comment fields, web chats and Google Docs (not Sheets, Slides or the address bar) • Stays quiet on Overleaf, other LaTeX sites and code editors. Alt+Shift+L pauses it anywhere PRIVATE • Nothing you type is stored or sent, and it makes no network requests FREE AND OPEN SOURCE • Mac menu bar app that works in every app, not just Chrome: https://github.com/SuperWalrus01/LaTeX-Squiggly/releases/latest • Guide: https://superwalrus01.github.io/LaTeX-Squiggly/guide.html • Source code: https://github.com/SuperWalrus01/LaTeX-Squiggly • Report a problem: https://github.com/SuperWalrus01/LaTeX-Squiggly/issues
