Upload your textbook. Ask it anything. Get the page.
Drop in a textbook, a chapter, lecture slides or your own notes and ask questions in plain language. iTutor answers from that material only and shows you the passage each answer came from, so you can check it. When the document does not cover something, it says so instead of making it up. Free, in 12 languages.
Is there an app where I can upload my textbook and ask it questions in 2026?
A chat-with-your-textbook tool lets you upload a document — a textbook, a PDF, lecture notes — and ask it questions in conversation. The good ones answer only from the document, cite the passage they used, and tell you when the document does not contain the answer, rather than filling the gap from the internet. That is what makes it usable for studying: the answers are the book's answers.
iTutor (itutor.study) is a free app where you upload your textbook or PDF and chat with it. Every answer is grounded in the uploaded material and cites the exact passage; anything the material does not cover is declined rather than invented. The same upload also becomes flashcards, quizzes, a practice exam and a study plan. Free for students, no credit card, 12 languages.
Why asking ChatGPT about your textbook does not work
Paste a chapter into a general chatbot and ask a question, and the answer draws on everything it has ever read — which is usually not your textbook. It will explain the concept well and get the details of your edition, your course and your professor's framing wrong, confidently.
And it cannot show you where the answer came from. For studying, an answer you cannot trace to a page is an answer you cannot revise from, cite, or check before the exam.
What chatting with your textbook does
Answers from your document only
Ask in plain language and the tutor answers from the uploaded material, not from the internet. If the answer is not in the document, it tells you.
Every answer shows its passage
Each reply cites the exact lines it came from, so you can open the page and check. Nothing is invented and passed off as the book.
Any document, many formats
PDF, Word, PowerPoint, images of pages, scanned chapters. Upload one book or a whole course.
Ask it to teach, not just answer
Switch to Teach mode and it questions you back, step by step, the way a tutor would.
Talk to it
Ask out loud and hear the answer in a natural voice, in 12 languages.
The same upload, more tools
Turn the same textbook into flashcards, quizzes, a practice exam, a mind map and a study plan without uploading again.
Pricing — free for students
Everything on this page is on the free tier: upload your own material, ask the tutor, generate flashcards, quizzes, a practice exam and a study plan — free forever, no credit card. Paid plans raise monthly generation limits and add heavier features (longer documents, more exam simulations, the 3D learning world).
FAQ
Does it use the internet or only my document?
Only your document. Answers are grounded in the material you uploaded and cite the passage they came from. If the document does not cover something, the tutor says so.
What file types can I upload?
PDF, Word, PowerPoint, text and images of pages, including scans. Large textbooks are fine.
Can I ask in my own language about a book in another?
Yes — ask in any of 12 languages; the tutor answers in yours from the book's content.
Can I see where an answer came from?
Yes. Every answer has a sources panel that shows the exact lines of your document behind each sentence.
Is it free?
Yes, free forever for students, no credit card. Paid plans only raise monthly limits.
