Yes, integration is straightforward. The API is accessible via standard HTTP requests, making it compatible with low-code and workflow automation platforms such as n8n, Zapier, and Camunda. You can trigger document generation and retrieve PDFs directly from your workflows using built-in HTTP request nodes or modules, enabling seamless automation and orchestration in your business processes.
Setting up and running LaTeX locally can be challenging for non-technical users. It often requires installing large distributions, configuring system dependencies, and using the command line to compile documents. By using a cloud API, you eliminate these barriers—no installation, no command line, and no technical setup required. This makes automated document generation accessible to everyone in your organization, regardless of technical background.
Perfect for web apps or microservices where you want to keep deployments small and fast. If you are writing academic papers or books with multiple files for figures and sections, running LaTeX locally may be better.
Yes! Our API is ideal for serverless architectures. By offloading LaTeX compilation to our service, you eliminate the need to bundle TeXLive distributions (5GB+) in your deployment packages, reduce cold start latency, and stay within serverless deployment size constraints. This enables efficient Function as a Service (FaaS) implementations without the overhead of managing LaTeX runtime dependencies.
Overleaf is a collaborative LaTeX editor for manual document creation. We're an API for programmatic PDF generation in your applications. Think Overleaf for humans, our API for code.
We include texlive-full with XeLaTeX, supporting most common packages including tikz, enumitem and titlesec.
Most documents compile in just a few seconds. Complex documents with many graphics may take up to 10 seconds maximum.
We don't store your templates or data. Generated PDFs are available for download for 1 hour, then automatically deleted. Your sensitive documents are never permanently stored.
LaTeX gives you precise typographical control that HTML/CSS can't match. Perfect for professional documents, mathematical formulas, and complex layouts.
Yes, the /v1/math-sync allows simple math equations to be rendered directly to PNG, conveniently cropped to size. See the Quickstart Repo for examples.
