Three pillars, one ecosystem

We watched what LaTeX users lose time on. These are the three areas where Sarmate.net intervenes — covering most of what slows you down day-to-day.

Cloud compilation

pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX available in the browser. No TeX Live to install, no updates, no missing-package issues. Everything preloaded.

WYSIWYG visual editors

For everything time-consuming in LaTeX: tables, TikZ figures, probability trees, colored boxes, sign/variation tables. Each editor auto-generates LaTeX code.

Gallery & community

320+ TikZ figures sorted by theme, shareable LaTeX snippets, personal drive for your documents. Start from an existing example rather than a blank page.

The visual editors in detail

Each editor targets a specific task and generates clean LaTeX, copyable into your project or compilable directly in the browser.

LaTeX tables (tabular)

Build your table with the mouse: rows, columns, cell merging, colors, borders, booktabs. The tabular code is generated automatically.

See the table editor →

TikZ figures

Draw points, vectors, functions, polygons, Bézier curves on a canvas. TikZ or PSTricks code generated in real time, switchable in one click.

See the graphics editor →

Probability trees

Ready presets (coin flip, urn, conditional, binomial). Mouse editing, math-mode labels. Clean TikZ code generated.

See the tree editor →

Colored boxes (tcolorbox)

Theorems, definitions, examples, info/warning callouts. Ready presets, color picker, reusable \newtcolorbox generated.

See the box editor →

Sign / variation tables

For math teachers: tkz-tab tables without memorizing syntax. 1, 2 or 3 roots, double bars, combined sign+variation.

See the tkz-tab editor →

320+ TikZ figures gallery

Browse by category (geometry, functions, probability, physics, circuits, graphs…). Each figure opens in the demo with one click.

Frequently asked questions

Can LaTeX be used without local install?+
Yes. Several cloud compilation services exist (Overleaf, Sarmate.net, Papeeria…). You edit your .tex in the browser, the server compiles and returns the PDF. No local TeX Live needed. Our demo is usable without even creating an account.
What's the best free online LaTeX editor?+
"Best" depends on use. For real-time collaboration on big documents: Overleaf. For built-in visual tools (tables, TikZ figures, trees) and timeout-free compile: Sarmate.net. For learning and speed: our demo, no signup. Our detailed Sarmate vs Overleaf comparison.
How do I learn LaTeX from scratch?+
Three steps: (1) start with our documentation covering basics (first doc, math, images, tables); (2) for TikZ specifically, follow our step-by-step 16-chapter tutorial; (3) test each example directly in the demo, no install.
Is LaTeX really faster than a word processor?+
For short non-technical documents, no — Word or Google Docs are faster. For technical documents (math, scientific), long ones (theses, books), or structured ones (with bibliography, cross-references, numbered equations), LaTeX catches up and overtakes, because the layout is automatic and stable. Sarmate.net's visual editors further cut time on WYSIWYG tasks (tables, figures).
Are my LaTeX documents private?+
In demo mode (no signup): files are not saved beyond your session. Signed in: your documents are stored in your personal drive on our servers (in France, OVH-equivalent hosting), accessible only by you. You can choose to publicly share a snippet via the community gallery — voluntary and revocable.
