FAQ
- Can I use imagetolatex for free?
- Yes. Printed single formulas are free within daily limits: 3 a day without an account and 6 a day with a free account. A new account also gets 30 AI credits once, for handwriting, pages with several formulas or a short document. The LaTeX equation editor and table generator are free to use.
- What is a credit?
- A credit pays for one piece of work. A formula image costs 1 credit, a page with several formulas 10 credits, and a PDF or Word document 10 credits a page. The price of each action is shown before you start it.
- What is the difference between AI credits and formula credits?
- Formula credits pay only for formula recognition. AI credits pay for everything, including pages with several formulas and document conversion. When you recognize a formula, formula credits are used first.
- How does yearly billing work?
- You pay once a year and save about 20% against paying monthly. Your credits still arrive every month, the same amount as the monthly plan, so a yearly Starter plan gives 200 AI credits at the start of each month.
- Do unused credits roll over?
- No. Plan credits are for the month they arrive in and expire when the next month's credits come in. Credits from a formula pack last 30 days.
- Can I cancel at any time?
- Yes, from Settings, Billing. Cancelling stops the next renewal; your plan and this period's credits stay until the end of the period you already paid for. The unused part of a period is not refunded.
- What happens if a conversion fails?
- Credits are only reserved while a recognition or conversion runs. If it fails, they go back to your balance automatically; you do not need to ask for a refund.
- Who processes my payment?
- Waffo Pancake, our Merchant of Record, runs checkout, charges your card, handles sales tax and VAT and sends your receipt. Your card details never reach imagetolatex. For help with a purchase, email support@imagetolatex.com.
