The project
v0.16.0About TypstPad
TypstPad is a free, open-source editor for creating math formulas in your browser. It brings Typst source, a live preview, and useful export formats into one workspace, with no account required.
Why TypstPad exists
A formula for a lesson, a research note, or a presentation should be easy to write and reuse. TypstPad gives these everyday tasks a dedicated place: type an expression, check the typesetting, and take the result into your document.
Symbols, templates, and autocomplete help with the notation. You can also start from a printed equation using Image to Typst, then review and edit the result. Keep the source for later, or export an image when the formula is ready.
How your work is handled
Stored on this device
Drafts, saved formulas, preferences, and custom fonts stay in this browser. There is no account or cloud sync. Clearing site data can remove your work; export anything you need to keep.
Processed in your browser
Formula rendering and TypLens image recognition run locally. Selected images are not uploaded for recognition. Sharing a formula puts its source in a URL that anyone with the link can read.
The app downloads its fonts and recognition assets as needed, and the Typst compiler only when you choose the typst.ts (Legacy) renderer. Typst package imports in that renderer may also fetch packages from packages.typst.org. On the official website, typstpad.com, Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits and measures page load times without cookies.
Open source and built to be shared
TypstPad is released under the MIT license. You can inspect the code, adapt it, or host your own copy. Bug reports, feature ideas, and contributions are welcome in the GitHub repository.
The project builds on Typst for typesetting, Typlet for rendering formulas in the browser, typst.ts for the legacy compiler, and Monaco for editing. The experimental TypLens model provides image recognition. The links below lead to the source, documentation, and model details.
