Perfect for web apps, serverless functions, 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.
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.
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.
We include texlive-full with XeLaTeX, supporting most common packages including tikz, pgfplots and biblatex.
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.
