Mathpix

Mathpix delivers high-accuracy, AI-powered document conversion technology designed specifically for technical and scientific content. It addresses the significant challenge of transforming static images and PDFs into fully searchable, editable, and machine-readable formats like LaTeX, DOCX, and Markdown. This powerful solution is essential for developers, researchers, and enterprises who require robust, scalable extraction of complex mathematical, chemical, and tabular data.

Key Features

Mathpix provides a suite of tools that streamline the digitization and utility of technical documents, focusing on accuracy where complexity is highest.

🧪 Deep STEM OCR and Specialized Recognition

Mathpix is built on OCR technology optimized for deep STEM functionality, recognizing content that standard OCR often fails to capture. This includes complex mathematical equations, chemical structures (outputting to ChemDraw format), and even handwritten text and digital ink. By accurately identifying and structuring this specialized content, you can convert source material into fully machine-readable data, ready for editing or analysis.

⚙️ Scalable Conversion Service and Robust APIs

For enterprises and developers, Mathpix offers secure, high-volume document conversion services through robust APIs and a powerful Python SDK. You gain the ability to integrate OCR directly into your application or process vast libraries of unstructured PDFs and images—processing millions of pages per hour—ensuring your data archives are quickly and accurately converted into actionable text files.

✍️ The Snip Productivity Suite and Mathpix Markdown

The Snip application provides researchers with an AI-powered, collaborative editing environment featuring world-class image and PDF conversion tools. Snip utilizes Mathpix Markdown, a specialized flavor of Markdown optimized for scientists and engineers that supports extended LaTeX features. This provides a low-barrier-to-entry alternative to traditional LaTeX for composing, sharing, and collaborating on technical documents with complex math.

✂️ Instant Desktop OCR Snipping Tool

Boost your daily productivity with the dedicated desktop Snipping Tool (available for macOS, Windows, and Linux). With a single keyboard shortcut, you can OCR content directly from your screen—whether it’s a printed equation, a chart, or a table—and instantly copy the resultant LaTeX, Markdown, or DOCX code to your clipboard for immediate pasting into editors like Overleaf, Typora, or Microsoft Word.

Use Cases

Mathpix transforms how scientists, engineers, and developers interact with technical documentation, moving beyond static consumption to dynamic utilization.

1. Large-Scale Data Digitization and Model Training

Enterprises dealing with vast amounts of legacy scientific journals, internal reports, or educational materials can leverage the Secure Conversion Service to convert these large libraries into structured data. This accurate, machine-readable output is vital for training and tuning large language models (LLMs) or creating comprehensive, searchable internal knowledge bases.

2. Streamlining Scientific Authoring and Collaboration

A researcher preparing a manuscript can use the Snip app to manage their entire workflow. They can import PDFs via the Chrome Extension for instant conversion, read documents comfortably using the HTML view (especially useful on mobile devices), and collaborate with co-authors in a shared environment, all while using Mathpix Markdown to easily embed complex equations and tables without manually writing intricate LaTeX syntax.

3. Instant Code Extraction for Daily Workflow

A student or engineer reading a textbook or an online article can use the Snipping Tool to capture an unfamiliar equation or a complex data table. Instead of manually typing out the syntax, they instantly receive the accurate LaTeX or Excel code, which they can paste directly into their notes, a presentation, or a computational environment. The tool can even perform a web search for the captured equation to provide immediate context and related resources.

Mathpix is the definitive solution for unlocking complex, technical data locked within static files. By offering unparalleled accuracy in STEM recognition, scalable conversion APIs, and a comprehensive productivity suite, Mathpix drives efficiency and data utility for every scientist, engineer, and developer.
