AI document conversion for math, chemistry, tables and full PDFs
Recognises printed and handwritten math, chemistry diagrams, tables and text across many languages and returns editable output such as LaTeX, Markdown, MathML, SMILES or ChemDraw.
Screenshot any region of your screen or a web page and copy the converted math, chemistry or text straight to your clipboard with a keyboard shortcut.
The OCR API and Files API let you embed the same conversion engine in your own product, with support for Python and CLI workflows and full PDF document processing.
Convert PDFs to LaTeX, Word, Excel, Markdown, HTML or Overleaf-ready output, and images to LaTeX, AsciiMath, CSV or other structured formats.
Real-time AI answer engine and research workspace combining live web citations with frontier reasoning models.
Executes multi-step iterative web and document research across hundreds of sources, cross-checking facts and generating structured, citation-backed analytical reports that can be exported as PDFs or shared as interactive Perplexity Pages.
Lets Pro and Max subscribers switch dynamically between Perplexity's in-house Sonar models and top external models (including Claude 4, o3-pro, and Gemini) or compare multi-model reasoning outputs side by side.
Provides dedicated project workspaces where users upload local PDFs, spreadsheets, and text files, configure custom assistant instructions, and run queries that combine private document retrieval with live internet search.
Extends Perplexity from passive Q&A into agentic execution, turning high-level user requests into completed workflows, multi-tab browser actions, and automated data synthesis via the Comet ecosystem.
