Problem 4

A car accelerates from rest at 3 m/s² for 6 s.

How far does it travel?

s = ?

Example problem
AI solution

Example answer

Given: u = 0 m/s, a = 3 m/s², t = 6 s

Formula: s = ut + ½at²

Solve: s = 0 + ½ × 3 × 6² = ½ × 3 × 36 = 54 m

AI Picture Answer solves homework problems from a photo. Take a picture or screenshot of a math, physics or chemistry question, upload it, and the AI explains the solution step by step, showing each part of the working so you can follow the method rather than just copy a number.

It costs $0.01 per problem, charged only when a solution comes back, and your first problem each day can be free. It reads images only (JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP up to 10 MB), so screenshot a PDF page first. To copy the text of a worksheet, use Image to Text; to ask your own question about any picture, try the AI Image Identifier.

How to use AI Picture Answer

  1. 1

    Photograph the problem

    Take a clear, straight photo or screenshot of one problem, including any diagram, table or answer choices.

  2. 2

    Upload the picture

    Add the JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP (up to 10 MB). The AI reads the question and works through it.

  3. 3

    Follow the steps

    Read the step-by-step solution, check each step, and use it to solve similar problems on your own.

What you can make

Algebra and equations

See how to isolate a variable, factor a quadratic or solve a system of equations.

Calculus

Follow derivatives, integrals and limits one rule at a time.

Geometry and trigonometry

Work through angles, areas and triangle problems, including ones with diagrams.

Physics

Set up forces, motion, energy and circuits with the right formulas and units.

Chemistry

Balance equations, work out moles and follow stoichiometry step by step.

Check your own work

Compare the AI steps with yours to find exactly where your answer went wrong.

Exam revision

How to take a photo the AI can solve

Most wrong answers come from a question the AI could not read properly. A few habits make a big difference:

  • One problem per picture. Crop out neighboring questions so the AI solves the one you want.
  • Shoot straight on, in good light. Avoid shadows across the page and steep angles that distort text.
  • Include everything the question needs. Diagrams, tables, units, given values and the multiple-choice options.
  • Check exponents and fractions. Small superscripts and fraction bars are easy to misread. Zoom in before you shoot, or type the problem neatly and screenshot it.
  • Blurry photo? Sharpen it with AI Image Unblur before uploading.

Printed questions work best. Neat handwriting usually works; messy handwriting and crossed-out working lead to mistakes.

If a solution looks wrong, look at the first step where the AI restates the problem. If it copied a number or symbol wrongly, retake the photo more clearly; the rest of the working will usually follow once the question is read correctly.

What subjects and levels it handles

The AI is set up as a tutor in mathematics, physics and chemistry. It covers school and early university topics well: arithmetic and algebra, functions and graphs, geometry and trigonometry, probability and statistics, derivatives and integrals, mechanics, electricity, waves and thermodynamics, chemical equations, moles and stoichiometry, and acids and bases.

Each answer walks through the reasoning: what the question asks, which formula or rule applies, each calculation, and the final answer with units. That makes it useful for learning a method, not only for checking a result.

It is less reliable on long multi-part proofs, questions that depend on a specific textbook's notation, and problems where the diagram carries most of the information. For those, use the steps as a guide and check the logic yourself. For word-heavy subjects like history or literature, try the AI Image Identifier with your own question.

Example: upload a photo of "A car accelerates from rest to 20 m/s in 5 s. Find its acceleration and the distance travelled." A typical answer lists the known values, picks a = (v - u) / t and s = ut + ½at², substitutes the numbers, and gives 4 m/s² and 50 m, with units at each step.

Use AI answers responsibly

AI can make arithmetic slips or choose the wrong approach, especially on unusual problems. Always check the final answer: substitute it back into the equation, check the units, or estimate whether the size of the number makes sense.

Follow your school's rules. Using AI to understand how a problem is solved is very different from submitting its working as your own, and it should never be used during a test or exam where it is not allowed. The best way to use AI Picture Answer is to try the problem first, then compare your working with the AI steps.

More study tools: YouTube to Notes turns a lecture video into notes with review questions, the YouTube Transcript Generator gives you the full text of a lesson, and the AI Presentation Maker turns your notes into slides.

If the tool has helped you see the method, try a similar problem from your textbook without it. That is the fastest way to check you have really learned the approach.

AI Picture Answer FAQ

Is AI Picture Answer free?

Signed-in users get one free generation a day on tools priced $0.10 or less. Each solution costs $0.01, so your first problem each day is free.

How much does it cost?

$0.01 per problem, charged only when a solution is returned. If it fails, you pay nothing. See pricing.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Sign in with Google to solve problems. Your first problem each day is free, and after that each one is $0.01 from your balance, with no subscription.

What subjects does it solve?

Math (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, statistics), physics (mechanics, electricity, waves, thermodynamics) and chemistry (equations, moles, stoichiometry and more).

Can I type my question instead of uploading a photo?

The tool reads the problem from an image. Type the question in any app and take a screenshot, or use the AI Image Identifier, which also accepts a written question.

Can I upload a PDF?

No. Screenshot the page or export it as an image (JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP) first, then crop to the single problem you want solved.

Does it work with handwritten problems?

Yes, if the handwriting is neat and the photo is clear. Printed problems are more reliable.

Does it show the steps or just the answer?

It shows the steps: what is being asked, the method, each calculation, and the final answer.

How accurate are the solutions?

Usually correct on standard school problems, but not always. AI can make arithmetic slips or misread a symbol. Check the answer by substituting it back, estimating, or reviewing each step against your notes.

Can it solve several problems in one photo?

It may try, but results are better with one problem per image. Crop and upload each separately; at $0.01 each, it costs very little.

Can I use it during an exam?

Only if your exam rules allow AI tools, which most do not. Use it to study and to check homework you have attempted.

Can it solve word problems?

Yes. Photograph the full word problem, including all numbers and units. It will set up the equations and solve them step by step.

Can it read graphs and diagrams?

It can use simple diagrams, graphs and tables that are part of the problem. Very detailed or low-resolution diagrams are harder, so crop and photograph them clearly.

What happens if it cannot solve the problem?

If the request fails, you are not charged. If the answer looks wrong, retake the photo more clearly or crop to one problem and try again.

Is there an API?

Yes. Picture answers are available through the RegiAI API at $0.01 per problem.
