LaTeX Math Equations for Google Chrome™ — What's New
Write a math equation, see it render instantly, and copy or download it as an
image in a single click. Our latest update is the biggest the extension has
ever had: a complete visual redesign, a real settings page, an in-app
instruction guide, smarter web-page copying, full accessibility, and 40+
languages — all while staying 100% offline and private. Here is everything we
added and improved.
A FRESH, DISTRACTION-FREE DESIGN
We rebuilt the popup around the one thing you actually came to do: type an
equation and copy it. The editor and live preview now lead the layout, followed
by a single, obvious "Copy image" button. Gone is the old wall of five settings,
seven palette tabs, and six rainbow-colored buttons crowding the top of the
window. The new look uses a clean side-panel style with a rounded icon badge in
the header, clearly labeled fields, and a calm, modern color palette in both
light and dark themes. You get the same powerful features — they're just no
longer in your way.
PROGRESSIVE DISCLOSURE — SIMPLE BY DEFAULT, POWERFUL ON DEMAND
Advanced tools are now tucked behind tidy toggles so first-time users aren't
overwhelmed. Style controls, the symbol palette, and your saved history each
open only when you want them, and a live count shows how many equations you've
saved. Secondary exports (Download SVG, Copy LaTeX, Copy MathML) live under a
neat "More" menu, while "Copy image" and "Download PNG" stay one click away.
A QUICK-ACCESS SYMBOL ROW
The most-used math symbols — ∑ ∫ √ fractions, exponents, α, π, ∞, →, ≤, ≥ — now
sit in an always-visible quick row right above the editor, with a "⋯" button
that expands the full categorized palette (Greek letters, operators, relations,
arrows, calculus, structures, and accents) whenever you need more.
HELPFUL STATES AND FRIENDLY ERRORS
The editor now greets you with a worked example and clickable starter chips
(Quadratic formula, Fraction, Matrix, Integral) so you're never staring at a
blank box. While the renderer warms up you'll see a "Preparing renderer…"
skeleton instead of silent, inert buttons. After you copy or save, the button
confirms with a green "✓ Copied / ✓ Saved" and a toast message. Syntax errors
are now translated into plain English with a "Fix tips" helper, instead of cryptic
technical jargon.
A DEDICATED SETTINGS PAGE
Input format, color, size, background, and the optional online-render fallback
have moved out of the cramped popup and into a proper Chrome options page,
opened from the gear icon. Your choices sync instantly back to the popup and the
detached window, so everything stays in step.
NEW: INSTRUCTION GUIDE
A new "Instruction Guide" button in the header opens a built-in, offline help
page that walks you through every feature — writing equations, the symbol
palette, live preview, copying, downloading and dragging, keyboard shortcuts,
settings, history, copying math from any web page, dark mode, the detached
window, the online fallback, and our privacy/offline promise. It follows your
dark-mode preference and never touches the network.
SMARTER COPYING FROM ANY WEB PAGE
Hover a math equation on almost any website and a compact "⧉" chip appears at
the equation's top-right — offset so it never covers the math — and expands to
let you copy the LaTeX or MathML. It now automatically adapts to dark or light
pages and stays neatly inside the viewport.
A ROOMIER WINDOW MODE
"Open in window" now unlocks a responsive two-pane layout on wider screens: the
editor and actions on the left, a large sticky preview on the right — perfect
for building slides, worksheets, or research notes — while the toolbar popup
stays compact.
BETTER DRAG-AND-DROP AND SHORTCUTS
Dragging an equation into your document now shows the actual rendered equation
as the drag image, so you see exactly what you're dropping. The preview
cross-fades smoothly on every change, and a new Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+C shortcut copies
the image instantly. Deleting a history item — or clearing everything — now
offers a six-second "Undo" so accidents are easy to reverse.
ACCESSIBILITY AND 40+ LANGUAGES
We completed a full accessibility pass: all text and the primary button now meet
WCAG AA contrast in both themes, with visible focus rings, full keyboard
operability for the history list, proper labels for screen readers, and respect
for reduced-motion settings. The popup and settings are now localized across 40+
languages.
PRIVATE AND OFFLINE BY DESIGN
As always, equations render locally on your own machine. The extension works
fully offline, requires only minimal permissions, and sends nothing anywhere
unless you explicitly turn on the optional online fallback.
Update today for a faster, friendlier, more capable LaTeX equation editor —
without losing a single feature you already rely on.
