LaTeX Editor is a lightweight and free Chrome extension that enables you to open, edit, and compile LaTeX (.tex) files directly in your browser. It offers a built-in editor powered by CodeMirror for effortless LaTeX code editing.

The extension compiles LaTeX code into HTML5 documents within the app's interface, allowing users to preview their work instantly. While it supports basic LaTeX commands, complex documents may require native applications. Users can also print compiled documents to PDF using the browser's print functionality.

Designed for convenience, LaTeX Editor requires no configuration—simply open a LaTeX document and start editing immediately. Its reliance on open-source libraries ensures reliable functionality and continuous community support.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

LaTeX Editor does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

LaTeX Editor is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
