Well, it seems that if you use ":imagemagick yes", the image is created with the `org-babel-latex-convert-pdf' function. I almost always use this to create images from latex blocks, for example: #+begin_src latex: imagemagick yes :iminoptions -density 600 \bfseries Hello world! #+end_src ":fit" crop the image, but you can also put in your "org-format-latex-header" "\\documentclass[varwidth]{standalone}" On the contrary, without :imagemagick, but with results to *.png file, `org-create-formula-image' is used, which depends on "org-preview-latex-process-alist" and "org-preview-latex-default-process". Since I only use LuaTeX for everything, I have this in my init, in order to preview LaTeX fragments: (setq luamagick '(luamagick :programs ("lualatex" "convert") :description "pdf > png" :message "you need to install lualatex and imagemagick." :use-xcolor t :image-input-type "pdf" :image-output-type "png" :image-size-adjust (1.0 . 1.0) :latex-compiler ("lualatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f") :image-converter ("convert -density %D -trim -antialias %f -quality 100 %O"))) (add-to-list 'org-preview-latex-process-alist luamagick) (setq org-preview-latex-default-process 'luamagick) Note that the -trim option for the "convert" program (last line) allows you to crop the image from the pdf page.
