How to convert a PDF to LaTeX
Step 1: Choose the PDF
Up to 150 pages and 100 MB. Scanned PDFs work too.
Step 2: Start the conversion
Sign in; each page uses 10 credits. You see the page count and the total before you start.
Step 3: Open it in Overleaf
Download the .tex.zip and upload it to Overleaf as a new project, or unzip it for your own LaTeX setup.
Made for math-heavy PDFs
Generic PDF converters flatten equations into text. This converter reads each page with a math-aware recognition engine, so fractions, integrals, matrices and aligned equations come back as LaTeX you can edit.
The result is a starting point: the content and structure are there, while the exact page layout, fonts and custom macros of the original are not reproduced.
Pages and credits
Each page uses 10 credits and you only pay for pages that are converted; if a conversion fails, the credits come back. The files are deleted after 24 hours.

PDF to LaTeX questions
