What LaTeX packages are available?

The renderer loads amsmath, amssymb, and amsfonts automatically. You do not need to include \usepackage commands - just paste the math expression itself.

What is the difference between display and inline mode?

Display mode renders the equation centered on its own line (equivalent to \[ ... \]), giving larger symbols and more spacing. Inline mode renders it as it would appear inside a sentence (equivalent to $ ... $), with tighter spacing.

LaTeX Equation Renderer

Q: Is the background transparent?

No - the PNG has a white background, which is standard for documents and presentations. Download the PNG and paste it into your slide, document, or web page.

Paste a LaTeX math expression and download a high-resolution PNG - ready to drop into a slide, document, or webpage. Supports amsmath, amssymb, and amsfonts. Just paste the math - no \usepackage needed.

Equations are compiled in an ephemeral container and never logged or stored.

How to render a LaTeX equation to PNG

Paste your LaTeX math expression into the box above - just the math, without surrounding $ signs or \[ delimiters. Those are added automatically based on the mode you choose.
Choose Display mode for a stand-alone equation (centered, larger symbols) or Inline for compact rendering.
Pick a resolution and click Render equation. The PNG appears below and is ready to download.

About this tool

This compiles your expression with pdfLaTeX inside a \documentclass[border=6pt,preview]{standalone} document, then converts the output to a PNG using Poppler. The result is a tight-cropped, white-background image at your chosen resolution.

What packages are available?

The renderer automatically loads amsmath, amssymb, and amsfonts. Paste only the math itself - no \usepackage or preamble needed.

Display mode vs inline mode

Display mode wraps your expression in \[ ... \] - the equation is centered on its own line with larger symbols and generous spacing. Inline mode wraps it in $ ... $ - compact rendering as it would appear inside a paragraph.

What if my equation doesn't render?

Check for LaTeX syntax errors: mismatched braces, unknown commands, or environments that require packages not included above. The error message will include a compile log excerpt to help you debug.

Is the background transparent?

No - the PNG has a white background, which works in most documents and presentations. If you need a transparent background, open the PNG in an image editor (e.g., Preview on macOS, GIMP) and remove the white.
