Photo Math Solver — Upload or Snap a Problem
A photo math solver reads an image of a problem, extracts the expression, and solves the confirmed text — it should not silently guess from a blurry picture.
On a phone, use the camera tab. On a computer, drag a photo onto the solver. If recognition confidence is low, you confirm or edit before solving.

No account required. Type, upload, or snap a photo.

How this solver works
- Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, or open the camera on a phone.
- The image is validated (type and size) before any processing.
- An OCR/vision provider returns an expression and a confidence score.
- If confidence is low, you confirm or edit the text, then the math engine solves it.
Worked examples
Recognized: 2x + 5 = 17
- Confirm the text
- Solve: x = 6
Answer: x = 6
Common mistakes
Cropping too tightly
Include the full equation, including equals signs and exponents.
Skipping confirmation
If the parsed text is wrong, edit it. Solving the wrong expression wastes time.

Frequently asked questions
Is handwriting supported?
Printed worksheets work best. Neat handwriting can work when an OCR provider is connected; always confirm the parsed text.
Why do you ask me to confirm?
Misread exponents and minus signs are common. Confirmation prevents an authoritative-looking wrong answer.
