Plugin to convert latex to image

Is there any plugin which can be installed on server or just kept on server to convert latex equations to images?

sceenshot

I want to give input like

A_{m,n}=\begin{pmatrix}a_{1,1}&a_{1,2}&\cdots&a_{1,n}\\a_{2,1}&a_{2,2}&\cdots&a_{2,n}\\\vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\\a_{m,1}&a_{m,2}&\cdots&a_{m,n}\end{pmatrix}

and get the output as an image

I have gone through a GitHub solution and figured out this bash script, but it does not support for some Latex equations like

A_{m,n}=\begin{pmatrix}a_{1,1}&a_{1,2}&\cdots&a_{1,n}\\a_{2,1}&a_{2,2}&\cdots&a_{2,n}\\\vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\\a_{m,1}&a_{m,2}&\cdots&a_{m,n}\end{pmatrix}

and

M=\begin{bmatrix}\frac56&\frac16&0\\[0.3em]\frac56&0&\frac16\\[0.3em]0&\frac56&\frac16\end{bmatrix}

see the screenshot

Let say your latex file is myfile.tex,
then you can do:
latex myfile.tex to produce a dvi file. (i.e myfile.dvi)
To convert the dvi file to image,
run:
dvipng myfile.dvi
or:
dvigif myfile.dvi

This process can easily be of course be automated with a shell script or setting an alias.

You can use ImageMagick to do that. It has a lot of features to do what you want with latex equations as far as i know.

The Imagemagick tag on Stack Overflow has posts related to your question.

This is a plugin for ImageMagick: github LatexEquationPreview
