The LaTeX → Typst Migration Kit
Everything you need to move a LaTeX or Overleaf paper to Typst in one place: a free in-browser converter, an Overleaf import path, a package-risk checklist, a syntax cheat sheet, and official conference template conversions.
What is the LaTeX → Typst Migration Kit?
The LaTeX → Typst Migration Kit is a free set of tools from TypeTeX for converting LaTeX and Overleaf documents into Typst. It bundles an in-browser LaTeX-to-Typst converter, an Overleaf project importer, a package-risk checklist, a syntax cheat sheet, and ready-made conversions of official conference templates (NeurIPS, IEEE, ACM, arXiv) — so a researcher can move a paper to Typst and still keep a LaTeX fallback for submission.
- Converts equations, tables, figures, and BibTeX citations, not just plain text.
- Works in the browser with no signup to start, and no local TeX install.
- Keeps a LaTeX import/export path so you never lose submission compatibility.
What's in the kit
Paste a .tex file or upload it and get editable Typst back instantly — equations, tables, figures, and citations included.
Open the converterBring a whole Overleaf project over from a share link or an exported ZIP, with figures and .bib files intact.
Import from OverleafA pre-flight checklist that triages risky packages, validates citations, and keeps a LaTeX fallback for submission-critical work.
Open the checklistThe side-by-side reference for translating common LaTeX commands, math, and environments into Typst by hand.

Read the comparisonHow migration works
Migrate one paper end to end before moving a whole workflow. The kit is built around this five-step path.
- 1
Export one real project
Export a single LaTeX or Overleaf project as a ZIP, including its figures and .bib files. Migrate one paper before touching a whole workflow.
- 2
Convert the main file
Run the main .tex through the LaTeX to Typst converter, or import the ZIP directly into TypeTeX to convert the project in one step.
- 3
Compile and fix the first issues
Compile the converted draft and resolve the first visible syntax, figure, or bibliography differences. The package-risk checklist flags what is most likely to need attention.
- 4
Validate citations and references
Confirm in-text citations, the reference list, cross-references, and numbering match the original before sharing.
- 5
Export and keep a fallback
Export a PDF, and keep the original LaTeX source as a fallback for any submission portal that only accepts .tex.
Convert one piece at a time
Migrating by hand or debugging a tricky section? Use a focused converter for just the part you need.
Official template conversions
Starting from a conference's official LaTeX template? See it converted to Typst, side by side, with the formatting preserved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Paste your .tex into the TypeTeX LaTeX to Typst converter, or upload the file, and it returns editable Typst — equations, tables, figures, and BibTeX citations included. For a whole Overleaf project, import the exported ZIP so figures and bibliography files come across together. You can then edit and export a PDF in the browser.
Yes. The converter and the migration checklist are free to use with no signup. You only need an account to save a converted project and keep editing it in the TypeTeX editor.
Most common constructs convert cleanly: sections, math, figures, tables, cross-references, and citations. Some specialised packages have no direct Typst equivalent yet, which is why the kit includes a package-risk checklist that flags what to verify and recommends keeping a LaTeX fallback for submission-critical documents.
Yes. Export the project from Overleaf as a ZIP (or use a share link), then import it into TypeTeX. The import converts the LaTeX source to Typst while keeping your figures and .bib files, so you can compile and continue editing immediately.
No. TypeTeX keeps a LaTeX import and export path, so you can draft in Typst for speed and still produce LaTeX or PDF output for collaborators or submission systems that require it.
A typical single paper converts in minutes. The hands-on time is in reviewing the converted draft — checking figures, tables, and citations — which is usually well under an hour for a standard conference or journal paper.
