Convert PDF to Overleaf
Convert any PDF to LaTeX and open it directly in Overleaf for collaborative editing. Perfect for revising published papers.
- Opens as an Overleaf project, no download and re-upload
- Figures arrive with the source, already referenced
- Theorems, lemmas and proofs keep their environments
- One-click export to Overleaf
From PDF to an Overleaf project
The useful end state is a project you can compile and edit, not a file you have to assemble. The conversion produces the source, the figures and the references between them.
Straight into a project
The conversion opens in Overleaf as a project rather than landing in your downloads folder as a zip you then have to upload.
Equations as editable source
You arrive in the editor with LaTeX you can change, which is the only version of this that saves any time.
Figures come with the source
Extracted images come with the source and are already referenced from it, so the first compile is not a hunt for missing files.
What Mathpix recognizes in PDF files
Theorem environments are preserved
Theorems, lemmas, corollaries and proofs are a documented Mathpix Markdown structure and export as LaTeX environments.
Reading order on multi-column pages
The two-column layout most journals use is resolved during recognition, so the source is in reading order.
Algorithms keep their line structure
Recognized as their own blocks rather than reflowed into paragraphs.

Converting PDF to Overleaf: common questions
Do I need an Overleaf account?
Yes, to receive the project. Without one you can still export the same conversion as a zip and compile it wherever you like.
Are the figures in the project?
Yes, extracted and already referenced from the source, so the project compiles without you adding anything.
Can I convert only some pages?
Yes. Set a page range before converting, and you are billed for those pages rather than the whole document.
