LaTeX to Word converter

A free LaTeX to Word converter that runs in your browser with no login: upload a .tex file or the zip of a project and download the .docx, equations and figures included.

Equations are converted into native Word equations, citations are resolved from your .bib file, and figures and drawings are embedded as images. Any formatting lost during the conversion will be detailed in the results.

How to convert LaTeX to Word

Upload your file: Select a single .tex file or a .zip project archive, or drag and drop it into the upload box. (Tip: in Overleaf, File, then Download, then Download as source (.zip) gives the zip.)
Select the main document: The system automatically detects your main file if it is named main.tex or is the only file containing a document body. Otherwise, select it from the drop-down list and click Convert.
Download and review: The .docx file will download automatically once finished. Be sure to check the conversion notes below the results. They identify specific lines where formatting was dropped, helping you quickly spot what needs manual review.
Maintain your source code: Always make future revisions in your original LaTeX files. The generated Word document should be treated as an export specifically for reviewers or journal submissions.

Note: You can also access this converter directly within the editor by selecting Download Word (.docx) for projects you are actively writing.

Features

Equations become Word equations, editable in Word's own editor. Numbered equations keep their numbers, and \eqref references are resolved.
Citations and the reference list follow the nearest of eight styles, read from \bibliographystyle or biblatex, with the .bib file taken from the zip.
PNG and JPEG figures are embedded, PDF and EPS figures are converted to pictures, and \graphicspath and extensionless file names are resolved.
TikZ, pgfplots, PSTricks and tabularray drawings are typeset once and put into the Word file as pictures; a tblr table in a float keeps its caption and number.
Sections, lists, tables, footnotes, the table of contents, the paper size and the margins are kept.
Tracked changes written with the changes package (\added, \deleted, \replaced, \comment), todo notes and margin notes become Word revisions and comments under their authors' names; a document that has them asks which kinds to export, and one in final mode arrives as printed.
Every loss is one line under the result, with the file and the line it came from.
Free, with no account, in the browser: one .tex file or a project zip in, a .docx out.

Limits

Columns, fonts and the commands of packages Word has no counterpart for are not carried over.
A file over 32 MB inside the zip is left out, and the number of files left out is shown under the result.
A drawing inside a user macro or an inline \tikz is dropped and reported.
Equation numbers are text after the equation, not Word fields, and the drawings are pictures, not editable shapes.
ConTeXt documents are not read: the converter takes LaTeX only.

Something not working?

If a document does not convert, or the .docx comes out wrong, write to us at [email protected] and we will try to fix it. The conversion notes and, if you can share it, the .tex file or the zip help us find the cause.

FAQ

Can you convert LaTeX to Word?

Yes. Text, sections, lists, tables, equations, citations and figures convert; the page layout does not, and drawings arrive as pictures. Every converter leaves some cleanup, so plan to read the result once in Word.

How to convert LaTeX equation into Word?

Use a converter that writes Word's own math rather than pictures. The converter above does, for a whole document, with the equation numbers and \eqref references kept. For one equation in a document otherwise written in Word, Word for Microsoft 365 takes LaTeX in its equation editor: Insert, then Equation, then LaTeX on the Equation tab, paste and convert. It covers the common commands, not environments such as align.

Can Overleaf export to Word?

Yes. File, then Download, then Export as Word (.docx) runs pandoc on the project. Overleaf's own documentation says the structure is kept and the styling is not, and warns about images in subfolders or behind \graphicspath, citations without the .bib file, merged cells and multi-page tables, and TikZ diagrams. The other way is File, then Download, then Download as source (.zip), and that zip uploaded to the converter above, which draws the TikZ and resolves the citations.

Can pandoc convert LaTeX to Word?

Yes. pandoc main.tex --citeproc --bibliography=refs.bib -o main.docx writes a .docx with Word equations and a resolved bibliography. pandoc numbers no equations (its request for Word's numbered equations has been open since 2016), TikZ drawings are skipped with a warning, and a PDF figure needs converting to PNG first for Word on Windows. The converter on this page runs pandoc in the browser and does those three steps for you.

Can ChatGPT convert LaTeX to Word?

It can rewrite pasted LaTeX as prose, and its document tools can write a Word file, but what it writes is a reconstruction of your source rather than a conversion of it, so equations, citations and figures need checking one by one. Convert with the tool above and use an assistant to tidy the prose afterwards.

How to convert LaTeX to Word in Google Docs?

Google Docs has no LaTeX import. Convert the .tex to a .docx with the converter above, upload the .docx to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs, or share the .docx itself for comments.

Does Word support LaTeX?

Word for Microsoft 365 takes LaTeX in its equation editor, one equation at a time: Insert, then Equation, then LaTeX on the Equation tab. It knows the common commands and no \begin environments, and Word has no import for a .tex file, so a whole document goes through the converter above and arrives as a .docx.
