Copy to Word
TexPixel can export your recognized formulas directly into Microsoft Word as native, editable equations — not images. This means you can continue editing the formula inside Word after export.
How to Export to Word
- Upload your formula image and wait for recognition to complete.
- Click the Export button in the result panel.
- Select DOCX from the file export options.
- Download the file and open it in Microsoft Word.
The downloaded .docx file contains your formula as a native Word equation (OMML format), which Word renders using its built-in equation editor.
Why Use DOCX Export?
| Method | Editable in Word | Renders Correctly | Copy-Paste |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screenshot / image | No | Yes | No |
| LaTeX string | No (without plugin) | No | Yes |
| DOCX export | Yes | Yes | N/A |
The DOCX format is ideal when you need to:
- Submit homework or reports as Word documents
- Share formulas with colleagues who don't use LaTeX
- Continue editing the formula after export
Inserting into an Existing Document
If you want to insert a formula into an existing Word document rather than starting fresh:
- Open the downloaded
.docxfile in Word. - Select the equation and copy it (
Ctrl+C/Cmd+C). - Paste it into your target document (
Ctrl+V/Cmd+V).
Word preserves the equation formatting during paste.
Mixed Content (Text + Formulas)
If your upload contains a mix of regular text and formulas (e.g., a textbook page), use DOCX export — it's the only format that handles mixed content correctly. LaTeX and MathML export are only available for pure-formula results.
Note: For mixed-content results, LaTeX/MathML export is disabled. Use DOCX to get a properly formatted document with both text and equations.
Compatibility
DOCX export is compatible with:
- Microsoft Word 2016 and later (Windows and Mac)
- Google Docs (equations render as images when imported)
- LibreOffice Writer (partial support)
Tips
- After pasting into Word, double-click the equation to open the equation editor and make changes.
- If the formula looks different from expected, try re-uploading a higher-resolution image for a more accurate recognition result.
