Math Formula Renderer

LaTeX to image converter for crisp equations. Render with MathJax, export PNG or SVG, choose inline or display mode, set DPI scale, enable equation numbers, and use a transparent background. Private and fast in your browser.

LaTeX to PNG or SVG with MathJax - clean equations for slides, docs, and blogs

Turn LaTeX into accessible, pixel perfect equation images. Download PNG or SVG, pick light or dark theme, and keep backgrounds transparent for seamless placement in Google Slides, PowerPoint, Notion, Markdown, or a CMS. Try it now on the Math Formula Renderer; for citation-ready references, pair it with the BibTeX ↔ Citation Converter (see the citation formatting guide).

Equations should look sharp everywhere. The SnipText Math Formula Renderer converts LaTeX into high quality images with MathJax. It runs on the client side, so your math never leaves your device. Switch inline or display mode, add equation numbers, and export at high scale for print ready figures. Try it on the tool page, then drop the images into tables you build with the Quick Table Generator.

Useful helpers while you format: Whitespace and Formatting Cleaner, Remove Empty Lines, Case Converter, Word and Character Counter, Symbol and Character Info, JSON Formatter & Validator (for clean data blocks in technical docs)

What the Math Formula Renderer does

  • LaTeX to image: Render inline math \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \) or display math $$ \int_0^1 x^n\,dx = \frac{1}{n+1} $$.
  • PNG or SVG export: Raster for quick sharing or vector for infinite sharpness. Set scale for slides and PDFs.
  • Theme and background: Light or dark. Transparent background for clean overlays.
  • Equation numbers: Auto number display equations to match academic style guides.
  • Fonts and sizing: Pick a base size. Symbols, fractions, sums, and integrals scale consistently.
  • Error feedback: Inline hints highlight the first LaTeX issue so you can fix fast (clean pasted text first with the Whitespace Cleaner).
  • Quality of life: Live preview, Copy, Download, and quick shortcuts. Compare exported versions with the Code Diff Checker when collaborating.

Quick start

  1. Open the Math Formula Renderer.
  2. Paste a formula. Example: \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}} e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}.
  3. Choose inline or display mode. Toggle numbering if needed.
  4. Select PNG or SVG and set scale. Pick transparent background for layered graphics.
  5. Click Download or Copy. Paste into Slides, PowerPoint, Notion, Markdown, or your CMS. Add references with the BibTeX Converter.

Popular LaTeX examples that render well

  • Fractions and roots: \displaystyle \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}} e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}
  • Integrals and sums: \displaystyle \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2}\,dx = \sqrt{\pi} and \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}
  • Matrices: \displaystyle \begin{bmatrix}1 & 0\\0 & 1\end{bmatrix}
  • Aligned equations: ```
    \begin{aligned}
    E &= mc^2 \\
    F &= ma
    \end{aligned}
    ```
  • Piecewise: ```
    \displaystyle f(x)=\begin{cases}
    x^2 & x \ge 0 \\
    -x & x < 0
    \end{cases}
    ```

Before you export - clean surrounding text

For tidy posts and handouts, remove stray spaces with the Whitespace and Formatting Cleaner, strip extra blank lines with Remove Empty Lines, check caps with the Case Converter, and confirm length limits with the Word and Character Counter. If you embed data blocks or settings, format them with the JSON Formatter.

Accessibility and baseline tips

  • Alt text: When you embed images, add brief alt text like integral from 0 to 1 of x to the n so screen readers have context.
  • Baseline alignment: For inline PNG, set vertical-align: middle or use SVG for smoother alignment in browsers.
  • Theme contrast: Pick the theme that matches your site. Use transparent background over solid brand colors.

Why images instead of raw LaTeX

Many CMS and LMS editors strip TeX markup. Images preserve spacing, baselines, and line breaks across platforms. SVG keeps equations sharp at any size. PNG is ideal for quick sharing or platforms that require raster graphics.

Troubleshooting

  • Formula does not render: Check unbalanced braces { } and missing backslashes. The inline error points to the first issue (inspect odd glyphs with Symbol & Character Info).
  • Too small: Increase the scale slider or pick SVG for vector sharpness.
  • Color mismatch: Switch theme or use a transparent background and let your slide theme color the canvas behind it.
  • Odd characters after paste: If you pasted from a PDF, clean the text with the Whitespace and Formatting Cleaner or inspect glyphs with Symbol and Character Info.
