Overleaf Online LaTeX Editor

Overleaf is a premier collaborative cloud-based LaTeX editor used globally by researchers, academics, and students to create, edit, and publish scientific documents. Originally conceived to solve the complexities of LaTeX installation and real-time collaboration, it has become the industry standard for mathematical and scientific typesetting in the digital age.

The platform was born from the merger of two British startups, WriteLaTeX and ShareLaTeX. This consolidation created a unified ecosystem that supports a massive library of templates and integrated submission links to major scientific journals. Its infrastructure is primarily developed and maintained in the United Kingdom, though its cloud services are distributed globally to ensure high availability for its millions of users.

Today, Overleaf is part of Digital Science, a technology company that provides software and data tools across the research lifecycle. Digital Science itself is a subsidiary of the Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, a major global media company. This corporate backing ensures that Overleaf remains integrated into the broader scholarly communications landscape, maintaining its position as an essential tool for the global research community.
