Overleaf
The collaborative, online LaTeX editor that anyone can use.

Overleaf is a cloud-based LaTeX editor that enables scientific and technical writing without local installation. It supports real-time collaboration, version control, and thousands of pre-built templates for research articles, reports, and presentations. Users can switch between a visual editor and a code editor, making it accessible to both LaTeX beginners and experts.
Users create and edit LaTeX documents in the browser with a visual or code editor, collaborate in real time, and can submit directly to journals using approved templates.
