AI Math Photo Solver & Calculator Extension

Math.Photos is a free browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari that solves math problems from screenshots or photos. It provides step-by-step solutions with explanations, from algebra to calculus, and includes an interactive Teach Me mode for Socratic learning. Designed for students who want to understand math, not just get answers.

How it works

Capture a math problem by selecting an area on your screen with the cursor, or screenshot a photo of a handwritten problem. The extension then processes the image and returns a step-by-step solution, with each step explained. Answers are verified by SymPy and multiple AI models, with a confidence score shown.

Key capabilities

Key features include full step-by-step explanations on every problem, a Teach Me mode that uses Socratic questioning to guide learning, multi-model verification with confidence scores, handwriting recognition for notebook screenshots, and keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+Shift+E for sidebar, Cmd+Shift+S for capture). It works on any math website and supports all major browsers.

Math.Photos is built for students from high school to college, covering algebra, calculus, geometry, trigonometry, and more. It is used by over 250 active students across 15+ school districts.
