KeplerTeX lets you compile LaTeX documents directly inside vscode — no local TeX installation required.
Simply log in, write your LaTeX code, and compile instantly.
How to Use
Open a .tex file in VS Code.
Press Cmd + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows/Linux).
This opens the login page for KeplerTeX.
Once logged in, your LaTeX document will compile automatically and the first PDF preview will appear.
After the initial login and compile, use:
Cmd + S (Mac) or Ctrl + S (Windows/Linux)
to trigger subsequent compiles and update the preview.
Tip: Keep your .tex file open while editing. Each save updates the preview without additional setup.
Features
Zero local setup – start compiling without installing TeXLive or other LaTeX distributions.
Seamless workflow – edit, compile, and preview without leaving VS Code.
Fast PDF rendering – preview your LaTeX output in seconds.
