Type beautiful math in Microsoft Word — fast, free, teacher-friendly
BlueMath is a Word add-in with a visual equation editor, LaTeX support, one-click MathType conversion, and exam tools built for math teachers. A modern, affordable alternative to MathType.
Works with Microsoft Word 2016+ on Windows, Mac, and Word on the web.
Everything you need for math documents
BlueMath focuses on the daily workflow of math teachers and STEM authors: write equations quickly, keep documents clean, and prepare exams in minutes.
Visual equation editor
A modern point-and-click editor (powered by MathLive) with live preview, keyboard shortcuts, and full LaTeX input. Insert equations as native Word Math or as crisp vector images.
LaTeX → Word, in bulk
Paste or type $...$ LaTeX anywhere in your document and convert the whole file to Word equations with one click.
MathType conversion
Convert legacy MathType / Equation Editor 3.0 objects into editable, future-proof equations. Suspicious conversions are highlighted for review — never silently changed.
Exam tools for teachers
Format exams, shuffle question and answer order into multiple exam codes with answer keys and grading QR codes, and export exams to LaTeX (ex_test).
Batch styling
Change the font, size, or color of every equation in a document at once, and re-align equations to the text baseline after edits.
BlueChem
A dedicated chemistry tab with mhchem support: reaction arrows, states, isotopes, and organic formulas rendered correctly.
How it works
- Install the add-in in about a minute with the install guide (Office Store listing coming soon). No installer — Word loads it from our servers.
- Open the BlueMath pane from the Word ribbon and sign in with your email (a one-time code — no password to remember).
- Type or convert equations — the editor inserts them straight into your document at the cursor.
