How to convert LaTeX to Word
- 1
Paste your LaTeX
Drop in the document body — sections, lists, tables, and equations. Custom preamble macros aren't expanded, so paste content rather than your whole preamble.
- 2
Click Convert to Word
The converter builds a .docx entirely in your browser. Your manuscript is never uploaded.
- 3
Download converted.docx
The file opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice, ready for tracked changes and comments.
Editable equations, not screenshots
The biggest difference from copy-pasting a PDF: equations arrive as native Word math (OMML), not images. A reviewer can click into E = mc^2 and edit it with Word's equation editor, and the maths reflows with the text. Sections become Word heading styles, itemize and enumerate become real lists, and tabular becomes a Word table. Referenced image files can't be embedded from the browser — re-insert figures in Word after converting.
What converts cleanly — and what needs a hand
Structure survives best: sections, lists, tables, cross-references, and math all map to native Word features. Three things degrade predictably. Custom \newcommand macros aren't expanded — replace them with their definitions before converting, or the macro names land in the output as-is. TikZ pictures have no Word equivalent — compile the figure once, export it as PNG or PDF, and insert the image in Word. Bibliographies built with BibTeX resolve at compile time, so \cite keys come through raw; either paste the formatted entries from your compiled .bbl file into the document before converting, or flatten the bibliography to plain text. Everything else — bold, italics, quotes, footnotes — just works.
A workflow for collaborating with Word people
The pattern that works: write in LaTeX, convert to .docx here, and send that file to the co-author or supervisor who lives in Word. They comment and edit with tracked changes as usual. When the file comes back, read the changes side by side with your .tex and apply them at the source — or run the returned file through Word to LaTeX and diff the two. Your LaTeX stays the single source of truth; Word copies are disposable exports. And if all you have left of a document is its PDF, PDF to LaTeX recovers editable source first.
When you need Word instead of LaTeX
Sooner or later a co-author, supervisor, or journal asks for a .docx: tracked changes for review, university submission portals, or a publisher's production workflow. The pragmatic move is to keep writing in LaTeX — the version with stable numbering and clean math — and export a Word copy whenever one is demanded. The full comparison lives in LaTeX vs Word, and when the reviewed file comes back, Word to LaTeX brings the edits home.
Frequently asked questions
Is this LaTeX to Word converter free?
Yes — free with no sign-up and no watermarks. It runs entirely in your browser.
Is my manuscript uploaded anywhere?
No. The .docx is generated entirely in your browser; nothing touches a server. That makes it safe for unpublished and confidential work.
Are the equations editable in Word?
Yes. Equations convert to native Word math (OMML), so they open in Word's equation editor rather than arriving as images.
Does it produce .doc files?
It produces .docx, the format Word has used since 2007, which also opens in Google Docs and LibreOffice. If you need the legacy .doc format, save as .doc from Word.
What about my figures?
Image files referenced with \includegraphics can't be read from the browser, so figures are the one thing to re-insert in Word after converting. Text, math, lists, and tables carry over.
Can it handle large documents, like a full thesis?
Yes — a full-length manuscript converts in seconds, and there is no page limit. Convert one document at a time; for a multi-file project, paste the content of each chapter (the \input and \include files) into one input rather than the root file alone.
