Write Typst with auto-compile — your document renders as you type, and exports to PDF in one click.
How the Typst Editor Works
The official Typst compiler runs in your browser via WebAssembly — compilation is instant and your documents never leave your machine.
- Start from a template — article, letter, or math document — or upload an existing .typ file.
- Write Typst with syntax highlighting. Auto-compile renders a live preview as you type.
- Catch errors instantly with clear, inline compiler diagnostics.
- Export your finished document as PDF or SVG, or download the .typ source.
#set page(paper: "a4") #set heading(numbering: "1.") = Introduction Typst compiles *instantly* — no more waiting on LaTeX builds. $ integral_0^oo e^(-x^2) dif x = sqrt(pi) / 2 $
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Typst?
Typst is a modern typesetting system built as a faster, simpler alternative to LaTeX. It compiles in milliseconds, uses a clean readable syntax, and produces the same publication-quality PDF output that LaTeX is known for.
Is the online Typst editor free?
Yes. The Typst editor is completely free — write, compile with live preview, and export PDF or SVG without paying. Compilation runs in your browser via WebAssembly, so your documents never leave your machine.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The editor runs entirely in your browser using the official Typst compiler compiled to WebAssembly. There's nothing to download or configure — open the page and start writing.
Can I convert my LaTeX documents to Typst?
Yes. Underleaf includes free LaTeX to Typst and Typst to LaTeX converters, so you can migrate existing papers to Typst or export Typst back to LaTeX when a journal requires it. There are also AI-powered Image to Typst and PDF to Typst converters for digitizing notes, scans, and published papers.
How is Typst different from LaTeX?
Typst compiles nearly instantly (LaTeX can take seconds to minutes), has clearer error messages, and uses markup like = headings and *bold* instead of backslash commands. LaTeX still has a larger package ecosystem and is required by many journals — which is why Underleaf supports both.
