Is my text sent anywhere?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser; your text never leaves your device.

Why does verbatim break with some lines?

A line containing \end{verbatim} ends the environment early. Split or edit that text before pasting, or use Escaped text mode instead.

Text to LaTeX

Escape plain text for safe LaTeX or wrap it in verbatim—locally in your browser.

Guide & how to use

What this tool does

Paste notes, email, or code comments and get LaTeX-safe escapes for backslashes, braces, math triggers, and more. Optionally keep line breaks with \newline, collapse to one paragraph, output a verbatim block, or wrap everything in a minimal article preamble. No server round trip.

Output style

Escaped mode turns special characters into LaTeX commands. Verbatim prints your text as-is inside a verbatim environment (avoid pasting lines that contain \end{verbatim}).

Line breaks

Wrap in minimal article preamble (documentclass + fontenc + utf8 + textcomp)

Plain text

LaTeX output

LaTeX preview appears here after you enter text.

Preview shows your plain text (what the body should look like when compiled). Use Source for the exact LaTeX to paste into an editor. Escaped output uses commands like \textbackslash and \textasciicircum; the optional preamble loads textcomp so those work in a minimal document. Nothing leaves your browser.

Example input/output

Illustrative sample — your real inputs may look different.

Example input

Price: $50 & 25% off (path C:\temp\file.txt)

Example output

Escaped → Price: \$50 \& 25\% off (path C:\textbackslash{}temp\textbackslash{}file.txt)

How to use

Paste your plain text in the left box.
Choose Escaped text (with optional line-break handling) or verbatim for raw output inside a verbatim environment.
Optionally wrap in a minimal preamble, then copy the LaTeX into your editor.
