Convert HTML to Typst

Turn HTML, the markup language of the web, readable by every browser, into Typst, the modern typesetting system built as a fast LaTeX alternative. FileChanger runs the document conversion in one call, no local tooling to install.

In the browser

Upload a file and download the result, no pipeline required. Open the converter.

One API call

POST the file with from=html and to=typst, get the converted bytes back. Jump to the code.

From an agent

FileChanger ships an MCP server, so agents can run this conversion themselves. See the docs for setup.

Convert HTML to Typst in code

The same call from any language: POST the file to /api/convert, the response body is the converted file.

curl -X POST https://filechanger.io/api/convert \
  -H "X-Api-Key: fc_your_api_key_here" \
  -F "file=@input.html" \
  -F "from=html" \
  -F "to=typst" \
  -o output.typ

import requests

with open("input.html", "rb") as f:
    response = requests.post(
        "https://filechanger.io/api/convert",
        headers={"X-Api-Key": "fc_your_api_key_here"},
        files={"file": f},
        data={"from": "html", "to": "typst"},
    )

response.raise_for_status()
with open("output.typ", "wb") as out:
    out.write(response.content)

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("file", fileInput.files[0]);
formData.append("from", "html");
formData.append("to", "typst");

const response = await fetch("https://filechanger.io/api/convert", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "X-Api-Key": "fc_your_api_key_here" },
  body: formData,
});

const output = await response.blob();

About HTML

HTML is the markup language of the web, rendered natively by every browser on every device. It is both a publishing target (turn any document into a web page) and a source format (turn saved pages and web content into editable documents).

About Typst

Typst is a modern markup-based typesetting system designed as a faster, friendlier alternative to LaTeX. It compiles documents in milliseconds, has a clean syntax with real programming constructs, and is increasingly popular with students and researchers writing papers, theses, and reports.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HTML to Typst?

Upload your file in the browser converter and pick Typst as the target, or POST it to /api/convert with from=html and to=typst. The response body is the converted file.

Is converting HTML to Typst free?

Yes. The free tier includes 2 GB of conversions per month, metered on input size. See pricing for the paid tiers.

Is there an API for HTML to Typst conversion?

Yes, this whole conversion is one POST to /api/convert (the code examples above show it in five languages), plus an MCP server so AI agents can run it directly.
