LaTeX PDF API
Compile LaTeX templates to PDF with one API call.
Keep your templates. Drop the TeXLive maintenance, Docker images, and fragile build scripts. Send LaTeX resources plus JSON data, get PDF bytes back.
Developer API
Built for API workflows.
Render documents with a single request. REST compile errors include a trimmed snippet; MCP tool errors include the verbatim log.

%PDF-1.5
% binary PDF bytes...How it works
Use data. Keep templates. Get PDFs.
JSON data + LaTeX template → PDF
- Create a LaTeX template with placeholders
- Design the document once. Merge fields, loops, and layout rules live in the template.
- Send resources plus optional JSON data
- One POST request with your LaTeX files and data for [[ ]] placeholders. No TeXLive, no Docker images.
- Receive PDF bytes synchronously
- Pixel-perfect pagination, repeated headers, page numbers, and totals where they belong.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- Is this HTML-to-PDF?
- No. Texify uses LaTeX-quality document rendering. HTML input may come later, but the current focus is structured data plus LaTeX templates.
- Do I need to know LaTeX?
- For the beta, yes. Later, templates and examples should reduce the LaTeX knowledge required to get started.
- Can I use my own templates?
- Yes. The beta supports user-provided LaTeX templates.
- Can I send raw LaTeX?
- Yes. POST raw LaTeX files as resources to /render and save the application/pdf response body.
- Is this safe for private documents?
- During beta, avoid sending highly sensitive production documents. Security and isolation are core roadmap items, but we will not claim enterprise security before it exists.
- Why not use HTML-to-PDF?
- HTML is great for simple documents. Texify targets documents where pagination, tables, math, and layout predictability matter.
