Five steps, start to finish

From setup to returned papers — here's exactly how GradeSnap works.

1

Create your class

Set up in seconds. Name your class, pick the grade level and subject, and import your roster — manually or straight from Google Classroom. GradeSnap pulls in student names automatically so you never type a list twice.

2

Create an assignment

Choose a grading mode that matches your assignment: Auto Grade lets AI figure out the correct answers on its own, Answer Key has it compare student work against your key, and Rubric grades by your specific criteria. Add a title, pick a point total, and you're done.

3

Upload student papers

You've got options. Photograph papers with your phone using the GradeSnap iOS app, scan a batch to PDF with your classroom scanner, drag-and-drop files from your computer, or link a Google Drive folder for fully automatic processing. GradeSnap handles the rest.

4

AI grades instantly

GradeSnap reads handwriting, evaluates answers, and writes personalized feedback directly for each student. Scores appear in your gradebook within minutes of uploading — not hours. The AI explains every mark it gives, so you can see exactly how each response was evaluated.

5

Review and return

Check the AI grades and make any adjustments you want — you're always in control. When you're satisfied, release scores with one click. Students receive annotated PDFs with detailed feedback overlaid directly on their original work. Scores can also post back automatically to Google Classroom.

Three ways to grade — you choose

Pick the mode that fits your assignment type. You can change it any time before grading starts.

🤖

Auto Grade

No answer key needed. GradeSnap's AI reads all submissions, determines the correct answers from patterns across the class, and grades every paper against them. Works great for quizzes, worksheets, and fill-in-the-blank assignments.

Answer Key

Upload your answer key as the first image (or first pages of a PDF) and GradeSnap grades all remaining submissions against it. Ideal for tests where precision matters and you need exact answer matching.

📋

Rubric

Paste in your rubric text and GradeSnap applies it to every submission. The AI evaluates written responses, short answers, and essays against your specific criteria — with detailed feedback for each dimension.
