Take a picture of your homework and get free, step-by-step help

Typing out a long math problem is slow. With ThinkStep you can just snap a photo of your worksheet or textbook page. The free AI tutor reads it, finds the exact problem you're stuck on, and helps you solve it one step at a time.

How to get help with a photo

1. Open ThinkStep on your phone, tablet, Chromebook or computer. No app download needed.
2. Tap the 📷 camera button next to the question box and take a picture of your homework.
3. Say which problem you need, like "help with number 3", or just press Ask.
4. Watch for the green box. ThinkStep draws a green box around the problem so you know exactly which one you're working on.
5. Work through it together. ThinkStep explains the first step and asks you a quick question, so you understand how to solve it.

What kinds of homework work?

Printed worksheets, textbook pages, handwritten notebook pages and tests you're practicing for. ThinkStep helps with math (fractions, long division, algebra, word problems), science, reading comprehension, grammar and more, for grades 1 to 12.

Why step by step is better than just an answer

A photo math solver that only shows the answer doesn't help on the test. ThinkStep teaches the method: you see each step, answer small questions along the way, and end up able to do the next problem on your own.

Is it free?

Yes. ThinkStep is 100% free, with no ads. Your photo is used only to read the problem and is never saved on ThinkStep's servers.
