Matrix inverse calculator
This matrix inverse calculator finds the inverse of a square real matrix A using Gauss-Jordan elimination on the augmented system of A beside the identity.
Run — free
Runs in your browser. Free, unlimited — your data never leaves this page.
When A is invertible, the left block becomes the identity and the right block is A inverse; when A is singular the determinant is zero and no two-sided inverse exists, so the request is rejected with a clear invalid input error instead of a fabricated pseudoinverse. The engine is fully deterministic: partial pivoting, row scaling, and elimination use only finite floating-point arithmetic with no network calls, no sampling, and no date-dependent shortcuts. Classic checks include the two-by-two matrix with rows four seven and two six, whose inverse has rows zero point six negative zero point seven and negative zero point two zero point four with determinant ten, and the identity matrix, which is its own inverse. Use it free in the browser for linear algebra homework, coding contest fixtures, and engineering checks, or call the API at $0.002 per successful request when you need reproducible inverse matrices in CI, tutoring software, or teaching demos.
How to use it
Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.
Check your inputs
Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.
Use it again or automate it
Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.
What you can do with it
Get an answer now
Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.
Compare scenarios
Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.
Automate repeated work
Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.
FAQ
How do I use this capability?
Complete the fields above and run it on this page. The form highlights anything that needs attention.
For developers — API access
Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.
API endpoint
Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

}The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.
