What Photomath is good at
Photomath is a camera-first maths solver: point your phone at a problem and it returns worked steps. It is well made and genuinely good at that job.
Use Photomath for
A single maths problem you are stuck on, solved in seconds.
Where students need more
- It is maths only — no help with your history reading or biology notes.
- A photo of one problem is the input, so a whole chapter is out of scope.
- Solved steps disappear once you close them; nothing turns into revision.
Switching from Photomath
Where StudiSpace is the better fit for the same coursework, and where Photomath still is.
Switch if
- Maths is one of five subjects you are being examined on.
- You can follow the steps on screen but cannot reproduce them the next day.
- You need practice problems in the same style as your course, not just the one in front of you.
Stay with Photomath if
- You want one equation solved from a photo, right now.
- Maths is the only subject giving you trouble.
What the switch looks like
- 1Photograph or upload the problem set — a page at a time is fine.
- 2Get the worked reasoning, not just the result.
- 3Generate a quiz from the same chapter so you practise the method rather than reread it.
- 4Turn the formulas and definitions into flashcards for spaced review before the exam.

Your questions, answered
Does StudiSpace solve maths from a photo like Photomath?
You can upload a photo or screenshot of a problem and get a worked explanation. If maths-from-camera is all you need, Photomath is purpose-built for it and very good — StudiSpace is for when the rest of your course also needs work.
What does StudiSpace do that a maths solver does not?
It works from your actual course material across every subject, and turns it into notes, flashcards, quizzes and a podcast you revise from before the exam.
Is StudiSpace as fast as Photomath for a single problem?
No. A camera-first solver is purpose-built for that and will beat us on it. StudiSpace is for the work around it: understanding the method and still having it in a fortnight.
Does it handle handwriting and diagrams?
It reads photos and screenshots, including handwriting where it is legible and diagrams where they carry the information.
Do I need to create an account to start?
No. You can upload your material and generate study content immediately without registering. You'll only need an account if you want to save your progress.
What types of files can I upload?
We accept PDFs, Word documents, images (PNG, JPG), text files, and you can also paste content directly or share links to videos and articles.
How does the AI Tutor work?
The AI Tutor analyzes your study material and can answer specific questions about that content. They're not generic answers, but based on what you've uploaded.
Are the generated materials editable?
Yes, completely. Everything the AI generates is just a starting point. You can edit, add or reorganize any content as you prefer.
How long does it take to generate the content?
Normally between 10-30 seconds depending on the size of the material and the number of formats you select.
