Moving a manuscript from Microsoft Word to LaTeX is one of the most common migration tasks in academic writing — journals, thesis templates, and collaborators often require .tex sources. Converting by hand is slow and error-prone.
FormaTeX converts .docx files to clean LaTeX via Pandoc, preserving heading structure, lists, tables, footnotes, and equations written with Word’s equation editor. The output is a complete, compilable document with a standard preamble.
Review the generated source, copy it or download the .tex file, then continue writing in the FormaTeX editor — no LaTeX installation required.
Every tool on this page is powered by the FormaTeX REST API. Integrate the same capabilities into your own apps with a few lines of code.
