How this service works

OCR a single image — returns recognized text, LaTeX, MathML, or HTML. Supports math, tables, diagrams, and handwriting.

Output

Returns extracted content in one or more formats including plain text, styled LaTeX, HTML, and optionally SMILES (for chemistry), along with optional line-by-line or word-level segmentation data and confidence metadata.

Example use cases

Example prompt

“Extract the LaTeX from this image of a handwritten equation — here's the URL: https://example.com/math_problem.jpg — and return both the styled latex_styled and plain text formats, with extra whitespace removed.”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://mathpix.mpp.paywithlocus.com/mathpix/process-image?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you have a static image (URL or base64) containing math equations, handwriting, or scientific notation and need to extract structured LaTeX, text, or HTML representations. Prefer this over Process Strokes when working with rasterized images rather than real-time stylus input. Ideal for digitizing scanned homework, textbook pages, or screenshots of equations.

Side effects

Image URL is inaccessible or returns non-image content — endpoint returns an error
Confidence score falls below the specified confidence_threshold — returns an error instead of low-confidence output
Unsupported image format or corrupted base64 data — parsing failure
Image contains no recognizable mathematical or textual content — returns empty or low-confidence result
Invalid region coordinates that fall outside image bounds — may return an error or empty result

Input

Schema · Request body

Field	Type	Description
srcrequired	string	Image URL (http/https) or base64-encoded image (data:image/...;base64,...)
region	object	Pixel region to process: { x1, y1, x2, y2 } coordinates.
formats	array	Output formats to return: "text", "data", "html", "latex_styled". Defaults to ["text"].
rm_fonts	boolean	Strip font commands like \mathbf. Default: false.
rm_spaces	boolean	Remove extra whitespace from equations. Default: true.
include_smiles	boolean	Enable chemistry diagram OCR (returns SMILES notation).
include_line_data	boolean	Return line-by-line segmentation data.
include_word_data	boolean	Return word-level segmentation data.
confidence_threshold	number	Minimum confidence (0–1) before returning an error.
idiomatic_eqn_arrays	boolean	Use aligned/gathered instead of array environments. Default: false.
math_inline_delimiters	array	Custom inline math delimiters, e.g. ["$", "$"]. Default: ["\$", "\$"].
math_display_delimiters	array	Custom display math delimiters, e.g. ["$$", "$$"]. Default: ["\\[", "\\]"].
