Origin Story
We deeply understand that clear and precise presentation of mathematical formulas and technical charts is crucial in research reports, technical presentations, and academic lectures. LaTeX is highly favored by scholars, engineers, and educators for its powerful and exceptional typesetting capabilities.
Undoubtedly, PowerPoint possesses many unparalleled features for creating presentations, but it lacks native, fluid support for LaTeX.
We have witnessed many professionals taking screenshots of formulas and charts from their LaTeX-generated papers and painstakingly copying them into PowerPoint. This method is not only inefficient but also has significant drawbacks:
- Inflexible Scaling: Elements cannot be resized flexibly, and their styles often mismatch the overall slide design.
- Limited Resolution: Images have finite resolution, resulting in blurry appearance when enlarged or printed.
- Non-Editable Content: Any minor change requires re-taking and replacing screenshots.
On the other hand, while Beamer can generate PDFs for presentations and platforms like Overleaf offer rich templates, this code-only approach also has its limitations:
- No Visual Editor: Lacks a WYSIWYG interface, making layout adjustments time-consuming.
- Poor Multimedia Support: Difficult to embed video, audio, and other multimedia elements.
- Limited Interactivity: Cannot utilize the rich interactive and animation features offered by presentation software.
If you have also been struggling to incorporate LaTeX into your slides elegantly and efficiently—we have good news for you.
After over a year of research and technical development, we have successfully created TexSlide based on LibreOffice—a professional presentation tool that truly seamlessly integrates LaTeX’s powerful composition capabilities with slide creation.
In TexSlide, you can edit LaTeX as naturally as plain text. It helps you create professional presentations more efficiently, allowing you to focus entirely on content creation without being distracted by formatting issues, ensuring your presentations are both precise and professional.
TexSlide is committed to supporting academia and education. To this end, we offer a free license plan, allowing every scholar, engineer, and educator who needs to present mathematical formulas and charts quickly and accurately to experience professional formula and chart typesetting capabilities within their presentations.
