FAQ

We thought you might have some questions...

What is the Knowt AI Image Summarizer?

The Knowt Image Summarizer turns a photo into study material. Upload a picture of a textbook page, a worksheet, a slide on the board, or your own handwritten notes, and Kai will read the text in it and give you a concise summary of the key points. From there you can make flashcards or a practice test from the same image.

What image file types can I upload?

Our image summarizer works with PNG and JPG files. If your photo comes off an iPhone as a HEIC file, export or screenshot it as a JPG or PNG first and it'll upload just fine.

Can it read my handwriting?

In most cases, yes. The image summarizer runs text recognition over your photo, so reasonably neat handwriting comes through well. Clear, well-lit photos taken straight-on give you the best results — if the writing is very small or the photo is blurry, some words may get missed.

How do I make flashcards from a picture?

Once you upload your image, ask our AI to create flashcards from it using the buttons to the right. This is the fastest way to get a photo of a vocab list or a textbook page into a set you can actually study with learn mode or spaced repetition.

How do I create a practice test from an image?

After uploading your image, press the test me button to generate practice questions on the material using AI. It's a great way to check whether you actually understood the page you photographed instead of just re-reading it.

Why use Knowt's AI Image Summarizer instead of typing it out?

Because you shouldn't have to retype a page to study it. Snap a photo of the textbook, the whiteboard, or your own notes and you get a summary, flashcards and practice questions from it in seconds — no transcribing, no copy-pasting.

Is there a cheaper alternative to ChatGPT for summarizing images?

Yep! Knowt's AI Image Summarizer is significantly cheaper than paying for ChatGPT and was built specifically for learning & students. On top of the summary, you get flashcards, practice tests and free study modes like learn mode and spaced repetition built right in.
