Questions

Frequently asked

Which files can I upload?

LaTeX source files ending in .tex or .latex. Upload the main file of your document.

Will it look exactly like pdflatex output?

Not exactly. The content, structure and math are kept, but fonts, spacing and page layout can differ from a full TeX installation.

Are custom packages and macros supported?

Common commands and many simple macros work. Specialized packages, custom classes, TikZ drawings and files pulled in with \input or \include are skipped.

How long does it take to convert LaTeX to PDF?

Usually just a few seconds. Very large files can take a little longer.

Is LaTeX to PDF free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks added to your files.
