## What it is
IguanaTex is a free PowerPoint add-in that lets users insert and edit LaTeX equations directly in presentations on Windows and Mac. It compiles LaTeX code into images or vector shapes that remain editable and are saved with the presentation.

## Use cases
- insert latex equations into powerpoint slides
- edit latex formulas in a presentation later
- convert texpoint displays to editable iguanatex displays
- generate vector or bitmap equation images in powerpoint
- batch regenerate equation displays across slides
- use latex math in presentations without internet

## When to choose
- you present with PowerPoint and need high-quality LaTeX math
- you want equations saved with the file so they render on machines without the add-in
- you need to edit previously inserted equations repeatedly
- you are migrating from TexPoint

## When to avoid
- you use presentation software other than PowerPoint
- you cannot install LaTeX, GhostScript, and ImageMagick locally
- you need real-time collaborative math editing
- you work on Linux, which is not supported

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: templating, image-processing, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, education, graphics
- platform: windows
- tags: powerpoint-add-in, latex, vba, equations, presentations, macos
