Free, privacy-respecting LaTeX tools

These are free online LaTeX utilities built for academic authors — compile a manuscript to PDF, convert it to a standard Word document for submission, or generate a tracked-changes comparison between two drafts. There's no account, no install, and no LaTeX setup required: everything runs in your browser against a hosted backend. Most importantly, your files are processed in memory and discarded the moment your download is ready — nothing is written to disk or logged, so unpublished manuscripts stay private.
