How it works
How a conversion works
Generate LaTeX
We rebuild the structure as clean LaTeX — sections, formulas, tables, references.
Compare and export
Step through each page side-by-side, then download an Overleaf-ready ZIP.
Experimental · Pro+
Bring figures along for the ride
Toggle on image extraction and we'll pull photographs, charts and diagrams out of your PDF and embed them as proper LaTeX figures — no extra credits, no extra steps.
- Photographs and scans embedded as
\includegraphics - Charts and diagrams kept in place, page by page
- Default stays text-only for the cleanest output
What you get
More than raw LaTeX output
A complete PDF-to-LaTeX workflow — editable source, compiled preview, page-by-page proofing and a one-click Overleaf export.
Editable LaTeX project
Real main.tex with proper sections, environments and math — ready for further editing in any LaTeX editor.
Overleaf-ready ZIP
One archive that opens in Overleaf and compiles on the first try — no missing packages, no manual fixes.
Rendered PDF preview
We compile the LaTeX server-side so you see the actual typeset result, not just the source code.
Page-by-page comparison
Every original page sits next to its rendered counterpart so you can verify accuracy before you ship.
Credits without subscription
Need just one document? Buy a small credit bundle once — no recurring billing, credits never expire.
Built for long academic documents
Theses, papers and lecture scripts — full documents at once, with structure, references and figures preserved.
Export to Overleaf
From download to compiled PDF in three steps
Every conversion produces a self-contained ZIP that opens in Overleaf — or any local LaTeX editor — without extra setup. No missing packages, no manual restructuring.

Scenarios
Built for every kind of document
Whether it's handwritten, printed or already typeset — turn it into a clean LaTeX project you can edit and extend.
Bachelor & master theses
Convert a finished thesis PDF into an editable LaTeX project — perfect for last-minute formatting changes or template migrations.
Lecture scripts & notes
Turn dense lecture handouts into a clean LaTeX source you can annotate, restructure and reuse for your own study materials.

Use cases
What people convert with document-to-latex
document-to-latex is built for academic and technical PDFs — the kind of documents where structure, equations and tables matter as much as the text itself. A few of the most common workflows:
Theses, dissertations and long reports
Convert a finished bachelor, master or doctoral thesis from PDF back into an editable LaTeX project. Useful for last-minute formatting changes, switching from one university template to another, or splitting a thesis into journal-ready chapters without re-typing equations and references.
Research papers and preprints
Move a published paper or preprint back into LaTeX so you can extend it, branch off a follow-up study, or adapt the layout to a different conference or journal template. Equations, citations and figures stay in place, so you keep editing instead of rebuilding from scratch.
Lecture scripts and study materials
Turn dense lecture handouts and university scripts into clean LaTeX you can annotate, restructure and reuse. Combine multiple lectures into a single study document, or extract individual chapters as standalone notes.
Handwritten notes and scans
Photograph or scan handwritten notes — including math-heavy ones — and receive a structured LaTeX document with proper sections, lists and formulas. Ideal for digitising older notebooks before they get lost.
Exercise sheets, problem sets and exams
Recover the LaTeX behind exercise sheets and past exam papers so you can remix them into your own problem sets, build solution sheets, or share editable versions with co-tutors.
Book chapters and technical reports
Bring scanned book chapters, technical reports or grey literature into a typeset LaTeX project — ready for citation, translation, or extension into a longer document of your own.
Every conversion produces an editable main.tex, a compiled PDF preview and a side-by-side comparison of every page — so you can verify the result before you export to Overleaf.
Why teams choose us
Not a text extractor — a real LaTeX rebuild
Generic PDF-to-text tools flatten your document into a wall of text and lose the structure. Our own pipeline reads each page like a human reader would and rebuilds it as a proper LaTeX project — so the result actually looks like the original, near 1:1.
- Rebuilds the page — not just the text
- Equations, tables and lists kept in place
- Same page count as the original document
- Compiled PDF preview to verify accuracy
- Side-by-side: original vs. rendered, every page
- One-click Overleaf-ready ZIP export

FAQ
Good to know
How is this different from a generic PDF-to-text extractor?
Generic extractors flatten your PDF into raw text and lose the layout. Our purpose-built pipeline reads each page like a human reader would and rebuilds it as real LaTeX — sections, equations, tables, lists and figures stay where they belong, page by page.
How accurately is the original document reproduced?
The goal is a near 1:1 rebuild. Same page count, same headings, same equations and tables — as an editable LaTeX project you can keep working on in Overleaf. The page-by-page comparison shows you exactly how close the result is before you export.
What do I receive after conversion?
An editable LaTeX project (main.tex plus assets), a compiled PDF render, and a side-by-side comparison of every page.
Can I use the ZIP in Overleaf?
Yes. The exported ZIP is structured to open directly in Overleaf and compile on the first try.
Do I need a subscription?
No. You can subscribe for a recurring page allowance, or buy credits once and convert whenever you need to.
How do credits work?
One credit covers one billable page. Credits never expire and can be combined with a subscription if you outgrow your monthly allowance.
Is my PDF processed securely?
Your PDF is processed by our backend. Extracted text and document structure may be sent to OpenAI to generate LaTeX. Raw PDFs are not sent to OpenAI by default.
Why does the result need review?
LaTeX is precise. Our page-by-page comparison lets you spot anything that needs a quick edit before you ship the final document.
