Riley Burton 2025-09-16: For those who still want to use the extension: despite it no longer being available for download on Chrome, it is still available and working on Microsoft Edge (yes you can literally just download Chrome extensions on Edge). Other extensions of mine that got disabled (ad block....) are also still available on Edge as well.
Jincheng Yang 2025-08-20: For those new comers who want to add this extension but the "Add to Chrome" button is grayed out: you can still add it! Just go to developer tools, find the html code for the button elements, delete the "disabled" keyword, and you can use this button again. Hooray
Paul H.Y. Cheung 2025-06-12: We need this. Please!!!!!!!
Andrea Palessandro 2025-04-22: Bring it back!
I. 2025-04-18: I really miss it!!
Laura Lyman 2025-04-13: PLEASE bring this back! I am a professor and use this extension all the time to communicate with my students over email.
Junda Chen 2025-04-03: This has been a great extension helping me communicating more efficiently with symbolic languages. I couldn't image sending emails without equations and so on. For no matter what reason its removed please bring it back (Except if it steals my emails).
Oliver Richardson 2025-03-20: This extension has served me extremely well. I am irked about the vague language surrounding its removal and the specific "best practices" that were violated. I hope only a small update is required.
B. D. 2025-03-17: One more response from a teacher with a broken communication line with his students. You can download the crx-file for this extension (just google for its ID "gjnmclkoadjdljnfmbnnhaahilafoeji"). Then simply install the extension manually!
Matthew Cote 2025-03-14: Love it! Please comply with whatever inane "best practices" gmail imposes so it can remain viable! "Best practices" is code for "I can't logically defend this practice," so I hate to give in, but the extension is great so I hope it can be resurrected.
John Chase 2025-03-11: PLEASE bring this back!!!
Scot Leavitt 2025-03-09: I love this extension. I use it multiple times a day to communicate with my students. I just found out that it's unsupported. (I guess I hadn't updated Chrome in a while!). Please bring this back or make it up-to-date with whatever new "best practice" is required.
Giles Heywood 2025-03-06: This is such a great extension I thought it was native! Now it's unsupported.... please bring it back!
Michael Oehrtman 2025-03-04: This is a unique and incredibly useful extension. It works flawlessly. I hope they find a way to update it to work after the recent Chrome update!
Konstantinos Anagnostopoulos 2025-03-04: It is sad that the great app was turned off today by Google. It is unreplacable, as far as I know. If anyone has a suggestion, please let us know! Thank you! ==================================================== Great app, can't find anything better available. Manages complicated formulas fine and has the option of simple formatting for simple formulas that uses plain html. This is important, since you do not depend in that case on a server to render the image that displays the formula. I wish this would have been possible also for the Rich Math formatting, i.e. that the images of the formula were physically embedded in the email message for formulas that we would be sure they would last forever. As it, when the server is down or if it disappears, it will be hard to read it (although not impossible since the formula is embedded in LaTeX form in the message as alt info). The new version adds the impressive option to TeX a message sent to you containing real LaTeX or pseudo latex that we usually use between informal communications. In the latter case the app makes very good guesses and the message appears in a very legible format! Very helpful, thank you! I have used it extensively on Google Chrome and Firefox on Linux systems. Great work, thank you!

Timothy Hsu 2025-03-03: This extension is the greatest thing since sliced bread!!! Why is it being removed? What "best practice" could this possibly be violating?
Alex Yuffa 2024-12-10: So sad to learn that this extension will be removed. It's very convenient to be able to do latex equations in email with ease. Does anyone know of any replacement?
Erick Martinez 2024-09-19: I love this extension. I am really sad to learn it will be removed from chrome 😢
Yi-Hao Chen 2024-08-17: This is my one of my favorite extensions, but recently I saw it on the list of future unsupported apps. Hope that this can be resolved.
Emily Hawkes 2024-03-08: The message looks wonderful when writing the draft, but as soon as the message is sent, all LaTex equations disappear, leaving blank spaces where there should be maths...
Haotian Wei 2023-03-19: It was okey but now not responding anymore...

Yang Liu 2022-07-20: Amazing extension and exactly what I wanted for such a long time! One thing I would not have imagine is that the rendered inline TeX equations are horizontally ALIGNED with the rest of the text, which is a MAGIC solution to writing TeX commands in any mails. One suggestion to improve this TeX4Gmail solution for high-dpi (which is a wide-spreading trend, 2K on mobiles/PCs and 4K on desktops) is fetching images of 600% scale factor (from CodeCogs or WordExpress) and downscaling it correspondingly. I did it by customizing the downloaded extension and adding an additional option of "upscaling 600% and downsizing to fit the text". It's a pity that Gmail has not support SVG even in 2022, where almost all other browsers (web and clients) have supported as shown here https://www.caniemail.com/features/image-svg/. Otherwise, this extension could be easily adapted to support rendering SVG format of TeX for Gmail, which is the ultimate solution I am looking forward to.

Xujia Chen 2021-08-12: Greatest extension ever. Have been using it over the years and in most cases it works beautifully. Occasionally it doesn't display for the receiver who probably uses an unusual mail reader, but that is quite rare.

Atharva Pangarkar 2020-07-19: This is an amazing tool to use with no hassles at all. Loved it and would recommend it to my friends who type a lot of math. Though I have a question for the creator of this extension: Please explain why does this extension need to have a look at ALL of our inbox data? If the answer is too technical, explain in layman terms.

Sunil Koswatta 2020-03-31: This is great!. However, I found at least one inline command is not rendering. It is the \nobreakdash command. Find the $\lim\limits_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}\frac{x-y}{x^2+y^2}$ along the $x$-\nobreakdash axis.

Lizhi Guo 2019-09-28: I don't know if it is because of me. The extension seems to take a while to work. For longer expressions, it basically doesn't.
