Pix2Text is an open-source Python tool that recognizes layouts, tables, math formulas (LaTeX), and text in images and converts them into Markdown, supporting 80+ languages. It uses small PyTorch models and serves as a free alternative to Mathpix.

Use cases

  • convert math formula images to latex
  • ocr scanned documents to markdown
  • extract tables from images
  • convert pdf pages with formulas to markdown
  • free mathpix alternative
  • recognize text in 80+ languages from images
  • layout analysis of document images

When to choose

  • you need to convert images or PDFs containing math formulas into editable LaTeX or Markdown
  • you want a free, self-hosted alternative to Mathpix
  • you need multilingual OCR combined with layout and table recognition in one pipeline

When to avoid

  • you need production-grade OCR for plain text only with minimal dependencies
  • you cannot run Python/PyTorch or lack GPU resources for the models
  • you need a fully managed cloud OCR API with SLAs
