Online converter

Mathcad to HTML converter

The converter reads the XML structure of .xmcd and .xmcdz files, maps every formula to MathML, and returns a semantic HTML document ready for web publishing. Equations render via MathJax — the standard math rendering engine supported by browsers and most CMS platforms: WordPress, Confluence, GitHub Pages, Docusaurus. Unit expressions appear inline within the formula markup without extra styling. The HTML result can be used as a full standalone page or embedded as a fragment in an existing template. No Mathcad installation required: conversion runs server-side in 3–5 seconds. The source file is deleted immediately after processing; the result is available for 5 minutes.

How it works

  1. 1
    Upload your Mathcad file

    Drag a .xmcd or .xmcdz file (up to 50 MB) onto the upload zone. Files are encrypted in transit.

  2. 2
    Select HTML as the output format

    In the format selector choose "HTML" and click Convert. The server parses the XML and generates MathML markup — typically 3–5 seconds.

  3. 3
    Download HTML and publish

    The file is available for 5 minutes. Open in a browser or embed a fragment in your CMS — MathJax will render the formulas automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Does MathJax render Mathcad formulas correctly after conversion?

Yes. The converter generates MathML markup for every expression from .xmcd/.xmcdz. MathJax v3 reads MathML directly and renders formulas without extra configuration. Greek letters, operators, and subscripts are mapped through Unicode.

Can I embed the HTML output in a CMS like WordPress or Confluence?

Yes. Copy the contents of the <body> tag and paste into a WordPress HTML block or a Confluence Custom HTML macro. Make sure MathJax CDN is loaded in the theme or template — without it, MathML will display as raw text.

Are units displayed inline or with special styles in the HTML output?

Unit expressions from .xmcd are included in the MathML formula markup — rendered upright (\mathrm) within the math block, without separate CSS classes or special characters.

Do I need Mathcad 15 installed?

No. Conversion is fully server-side. You only need a browser and a .xmcd or .xmcdz file.

What if I have a legacy .mcd from Mathcad 11–14?

The binary .mcd format has no public spec; the Web API returns HTTP 415. Open the file in Mathcad 15 and re-save as .xmcd, then convert to HTML here.
