Photo Math Solver — Snap a Picture, Get the Solution
Take a photo of any math problem — handwritten, printed, on a whiteboard — and get a full step-by-step solution in seconds. Free, no app required.
How It Works
Take a photo
Use your phone camera or upload from gallery. Handwritten problems on paper, whiteboards, or textbook pages all work.
AI reads the problem
ScanSolve’s 2026 vision models extract the equations and word problems with high accuracy — even on messy handwriting.
See the solution
Get a complete step-by-step solution in proper math notation. Ask follow-up questions if any step is unclear.
What Makes ScanSolve Different
Reads handwritten work
Most photo math solvers fail on handwritten problems. ScanSolve uses 2026 vision models tuned for student handwriting.
Word problems, not just equations
Photo a word problem in plain English and ScanSolve solves it. Older OCR-based math solvers can’t do this.
Works without an app
Use the web interface or send the photo on WhatsApp. No app install required.
Step-by-step, free
Every solution shows full steps — no paywall on the explanation. 5 free solves per day with no card.
