# Supported Formats

## Input Formats

TexPixel accepts the following file types for formula recognition:

### Images
- **JPEG / JPG** — Photos from cameras or phones
- **PNG** — Screenshots, scanned images, or digital drawings

### Documents
- **PDF** — Single or multi-page documents. All pages are processed and formulas are extracted from each page.

**File size limit:** 10 MB per file.

**Resolution tips:** For best results, use images at least 300 DPI. Phone photos work well when the formula fills most of the frame.

## Output Formats

After recognition, you can export results in multiple formats:

### Code Formats
- **LaTeX** — Standard math typesetting syntax, compatible with Overleaf, TeXmaker, and Markdown editors
- **MathML** — XML-based format for web pages and screen readers

### Document Formats
- **Markdown** — Ready to paste into Markdown files with inline math notation
- **Word (DOCX)** — Editable Word document with properly formatted equations

### Image Formats
- **PNG** — High-resolution rendered formula image
