  2. 2Confirm the detected main document, or select the correct .tex file when more than one could be the entry point.
  3. 3Select “Compile PDF” once the project is ready.
  4. 4Download the completed PDF.

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.
