Details
Compile complete LaTeX projects
Upload a project folder or ZIP archive to preserve nested paths for \input, images, bibliography files, local classes, and style files. Individual file selection supports one .tex file or a flat project whose files share one folder.
Security and compatibility
Projects compile with Tectonic in untrusted mode. Arbitrary build scripts, Makefiles, latexmkrc, shell escape, and Overleaf-specific build settings are not executed.
