Frequently asked questions

How do I insert a formula image into Excel?

Generate your formula with FormulAI, click Download PNG, then go to Excel and choose Insert → Pictures → This Device. Place the image in the cell area you need. The PNG has a transparent background and scales cleanly.

Can I paste an editable equation into Excel?

Excel does not have a built-in equation editor like Word. The most reliable way to add typeset maths formulae is as PNG images. FormulAI generates high-resolution images that look sharp when printed or shared.

Will the formula image print cleanly from Excel?

Yes. The generated PNG is high-resolution (2x pixel density), so it stays sharp on screen and in print. Position the image in your sheet and it prints exactly as displayed.

What's the difference between Excel cell formulae and maths formulae?

Excel cell formulae (like =SUM or =VLOOKUP) are built-in spreadsheet functions. Maths formulae are typeset mathematical expressions (like the quadratic formula or integral notation) that you display visually. FormulAI generates the visual kind - not cell functions.

Can I use this for Google Sheets too?

Yes. Download the PNG and insert it into Google Sheets via Insert → Image → Image in cell (or over cells). It works identically.

Is it free?

Your first formula is free with no sign-up. Additional formulae are available in affordable packs starting at £2.49.
