Visual maths editor · LaTeX out
TypeMaths is a free online maths editor that converts what you type into LaTeX. Type sqrt, int, / and ^ and it typesets as you go; write your working line by line; then copy the whole page to the clipboard as LaTeX and paste it into Overleaf, or download it as a .tex file. If you already know LaTeX, every command still works — it is just faster to type.

⌘+Enter on the substituted line evaluates (27+9)−(1+1) and writes 34 underneath.
The worksheet above, after Copy LaTeX. Plain amsmath — one align* block per piece of working, the relation leading each line — wrapped in a standard article preamble when you export a .tex file instead.
\section*{Definite integrals}
\begin{align*}
\int_1^3(3x^2+2x)\,dx \\
= \left[x^3+x^2\right]_1^3 \\
= (27+9)-(1+1) \\
= 34
\end{align*}TypeMaths does not do your maths for you. It removes everything between having a thought and seeing it written down properly.
sqrt becomes √, int becomes ∫, "/" builds a fraction and "^" a power. Type a backslash and any LaTeX command works too — \frac, \binom, \begin{matrix}.
Each step starts as a copy of the one above, so you edit only what changed. In the LaTeX that comes out, every line is one row of an align* block with the relation first.
When a line reduces to numbers, evaluate it and the result appears underneath — the check you would otherwise do in your head before typesetting.
Copy LaTeX puts the whole page on your clipboard as amsmath; paste it into Overleaf. Export .tex downloads a complete article instead.
Two more real pages, animated exactly as they would be typed — and each one copies out as LaTeX the same way.
Linear algebra
Press Enter and the whole line copies down, augmented matrix included. Edit only the entries that changed, and label each step as you go.
Solve 2x + y = 5 and x + 3y = 10 by row reduction.
[2113∣∣∣∣510]R₁ ↔ R₂
[1231∣∣∣∣105]R₂ → R₂ − 2R₁
[103−5∣∣∣∣10−15]R₂ → −⅕R₂
[1031∣∣∣∣103]R₁ → R₁ − 3R₂
[1001∣∣∣∣13]Every line is one Enter press. The → between steps is picked from the relation dropdown.
Binomial theorem
Type \choose or \binom for n-choose-k and keep working. When a line reaches numbers, TypeMaths evaluates it — binomials included.
Find the coefficient of x² in the expansion of (1+(1+x))⁴.
(1+(1+x))4Each (1+x)ᵏ contributes ᵏC₂ copies of x² — sum over k ≥ 2.
c2=(42)(22)+(43)(32)+(44)(42)The closed form ⁴C₂ · 2⁴⁻² says the same.
c2=(42)⋅22Both ⌘+Enter presses return 24 — the coefficient sum and its closed form agree.
One \section* per page, one align* block per piece of working, the relation leading each line. It compiles in Overleaf as-is; nothing proprietary.
Type a backslash and \frac, \binom, \begin{matrix} or anything else MathLive knows typesets in place, alongside the typed shortcuts.
A .tex file you exported imports again and stays editable — that is how a page travels between people and back into the editor.
Grow a matrix to any size, or use an augmented one for simultaneous equations. Rows added or deleted keep both sides of the divider in step.
Yes — this is one. You type maths the way you would say it (sqrt, int, pi, "/" for a fraction, "^" for a power) and TypeMaths typesets it as you go. When you are done, Copy LaTeX puts the whole page on your clipboard as a LaTeX align* block, and Export .tex downloads a complete document.
No. Every symbol has a typed name, fractions come from "/", and the structure of the page — one step per line, equals signs aligned — is built by pressing Enter. If you do know LaTeX, type a backslash and any command works exactly as it would in a .tex file.
Press Copy LaTeX in the sidebar and paste into your Overleaf document; the page arrives as an align* block, so it drops straight into an amsmath document. Or press Export .tex to download a standalone article you can open in Overleaf as a new project.
For working, yes. An equation editor gives you one formula at a time and a palette to click through. TypeMaths gives you a page of working — every step on its own line, aligned — typed from the keyboard, and the whole page comes out as LaTeX. It is free and needs no account.
Plain amsmath. Each page is a \section*, each block of working is one align* environment with one line per step and the relation (=, →, ⇌, ≤) leading each line. Nothing proprietary: it compiles in Overleaf as-is, and you can import a file you exported back into TypeMaths to keep editing.
Yes. Type a backslash and the command — \frac, \binom, \begin{matrix}, anything MathLive understands — and it typesets in place. Mix and match: most people type sqrt for speed and reach for a backslash only when they want something specific.
It is free, it needs no account, and the LaTeX is one Copy away.
