Frequently asked questions
Can I use FormulAI with Google Docs?
Yes. Generate your formula, click Download PNG, then go to Google Docs and choose Insert → Image → Upload from computer. The PNG drops into your document and scales cleanly. Because it is an image, it works in any document regardless of who views or edits it.
Is PNG the easiest way to add maths formulae to Google Docs?
For most people, yes. Google Docs has a basic built-in equation editor (Insert → Equation), but it requires typing LaTeX commands manually - which is slow and unfamiliar for most users. A PNG from FormulAI takes seconds: describe the formula, download the image, drag it in. No syntax to learn.
Can I also use a Word or DOCX approach with Google Docs?
Yes. FormulAI can export a DOCX file with a native Word equation embedded. You can open this DOCX in Google Docs, though Google Docs converts Word equations to images automatically during import. For pure Google Docs collaboration, the PNG route is simpler and more predictable.
Will the formula look sharp in Google Docs?
Yes. The generated PNG is high-resolution (2× pixel density) with a transparent background, so it stays crisp on any screen zoom level and prints cleanly.
Does it work with Google Slides and Google Sheets too?
Yes. In Google Slides, use Insert → Image → Upload from computer. In Google Sheets, use Insert → Image → Image over cells. The same PNG works across all Google Workspace apps.
Is it free?
Your first formula is free with no sign-up. Additional formulae are available in affordable packs starting at £2.49.
