Is there anything like LaTeXit, a Mac-only program, that converts math equations into LaTeX code, for windows?

This list might be a good place to start. The third item on the list, KLatexFormula, looks promising.

    Hey, thanks! Just installed KLatexFormula and it's exactly what I was looking for! – Tropilio Jun 18 '19 at 14:24
  • The pain in the ass for kLatexFormula is the drag'n'drop function does not work for many programmes, like Adobe Illustrator, etc. – X.Arthur Sep 01 '22 at 08:34

You should try EqualX. It seems to work very well. The only bad thing is you can drag and drop, you need to copy paste.

You can try Latex Equation editor and Laeqed.

    Can't Latex Equation Editor to work. Keeps throwing unintelligible errors even though I pointed it at the files it wanted. – Elliot May 08 '14 at 14:53
  • Same for me, also I couldn't find any solution... – C-star-W-star Nov 06 '14 at 12:23
  • I got the same error with Latex Equation editor. It could be a 32bit vs. 64bit issue. Latex Equation editor did not specify which version to download. – nickalh Jan 28 '20 at 02:26

the best Windows editor for LaTeX/Tex is LyX

    Welcome to TeX.SX. I wouldn't actually call LyX a LaTeX editor. It has it's own file format, and while it does use LaTeX in the background, you don't really have complete control of the code being created by LyX. – Torbjørn T. Feb 21 '14 at 22:59
  • Thanks,True enough. It really is a word processor/editor. However, all the LateX/TeX code is editable if all you want to do is write documents. How about Mathjax? I've never used it, but it does seem to be able to edit TeX source. – Arnie Stillman Feb 21 '14 at 23:06

    For the main body yes, but not so for the preamble. MathJaX is a JavaScript library for rendering math in web browsers, and can understand some LaTeX syntax, but only stuff related to math, AFAIK. – Torbjørn T. Feb 21 '14 at 23:11
  • LaTeXit is very different from LyX; its purpose is to compile code snippets producing a PDF that can be pasted in another program. – egreg Feb 21 '14 at 23:30

    LyX inserts all kinds of special stuff into the latex it generates. It's essentially a separate format. Once something has been edited in LyX, you have to do a lot of work to make it function elsewhere. SO while LyX itself is great, it is not truly cross compatible like latex. – Elliot May 08 '14 at 14:45
  • I strongly disagree with Elliot. LyX is a document processor but nearly a WYSYWYG editor for the math part that produce a very clean LaTeX code, perfectly compilable in any LaTeX editor . Its purpose is not only produce code snippets for equations but it can be used for this, in real time, with the source pane. You only have to take care that math commands as \geqslant will also add a package in the preamble (`amssymb`` in this case) and obviously the equation snippet pasted alone will not work in a document with an empty preamble. – Fran Jan 28 '20 at 08:06

If you use chrome, there is an extension that LaTeXifies https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dinfmiceliiomokeofbocegmacmagjhe

Update: Daum editor requires Adobe Flash which is no longer supported by Chrome and Edge is also phasing out.
