What is Photomath, in two sentences

Photomath is a point your camera at a math problem and get step-by-step solutions — owned by Google. Provides step-by-step solutions to math problems by analyzing photos taken with a mobile device camera.

About Photomath

Photomath is a mobile math-solver app that reads a problem through your phone camera and returns step-by-step solutions.

Its angle is breadth of coverage: it handles arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and statistics, and it walks through each solution rather than only giving the answer. It runs on both iOS and Android, and Google acquired the app in 2022.

It suits students who want to check work or learn the steps behind a problem. Two caveats matter: the full step-by-step explanations sit behind the paid Photomath Plus subscription, and handwriting or unusual notation can occasionally trip up the recognition on messy input.

Among camera-based math tools, Photomath's focus is the combination of wide topic coverage and worked steps rather than a single final result.
