Snip is an amazing app built by Mathpix to help you extract LaTeX (also text) from documents. It gives you the first 50 snips for free every single month. With the help of MathpixOCR and this supplementary app, you can now make up to 1000 OCR requests per month for free.

Image2LaTeX is a personal side project that keeps only core functions of the Snip such as convert images to certain LaTeX equation formats and OCR. For other advanced functions and unlimited snips, subscribe to the Snip for $4.99 per month.

See the features section on MathpixOCR website.

• New Improved OCR option for multiple choice, paragraphs, basic table OCRs, and more.
• HTTP proxy support for making OCR request.

• Your API keys in your MathpixOCR dashboard (different from the Mathpix account used in the Snip app)
• JDK 11 or higher version (OpenJDK is highly recommended) if you plan to use Image2LaTeX-x.x.x.jar

Enter your API keys (without single quotes) at the first launch of this app.

To change your API keys, macOS and Windows users will find the API Credentials tab in the Preferences menu item by clicking this app's menu bar icon.

Linux users can open the Preferences panel by right-clicking anywhere inside the application.

Note, this app will not send your API keys to others except for MathpixOCR API server (see OCRRequestHelper.java to learn how your API keys are used).

Run Image2LaTeX.app.

Run Image2LaTeX.vbs at Image2LaTeX-windows/.

Run Image2LaTeX at Image2LaTeX-linux/bin/ or with:

./Image2LaTeX

With a JAR launcher installed, run Image2LaTeX-x.x.x.jar or with:

java -jar Image2LaTeX-x.x.x.jar

Use your operating system's default methods (or other tools) to take a screenshot of equations or text (Shift (⇧)-Control (⌃)-Command (⌘)-4 on macOS by default).

Then, press the Space key to preview the screenshot. Or, press the Return or Enter key to send the OCR request.

See demo section below.

Not yet. But, with the GA release of Java 14 in 2020, jpackage should be available for packaging self-contained JavaFX application.

You don't need to have JDK 11 installed for running *.zip versions.
