Snips
Go to the Snips tab to convert images. To snip an equation, piece of text, or table, choose Take photos. When your camera is launched, crop the box around the content and tap Scan.
Your Snip result appears instantly, and automatically syncs with any other app you are logged into (like the desktop apps). This is especially convenient if you are trying to get handwritten notes into a digital document that you are writing on your computer.
You can also create a Snip by drawing it directly on your phone or by uploading it from your gallery.

Create a Snip from your gallery: Upload the image from your Photos app to convert it. Just tap Upload image from the Snips tab and choose a photo from your phone gallery.

Draw (full screen): Go to the Snips tab, then tap the “+” button. Choose the Draw (full screen) option and create a drawing with your finger or stylus. You can draw math, tables, text, and chemistry here. When your drawing is done, tap GO to add a Snip to your repository and convert it.

Draw equation with live preview: This feature allows you to use our digital ink with math support and smart actions. Live updates render as you draw.

Doodle: This option works best for drawing figures and illustrations, because it saves images only, which can be easily inserted into your Markdown notes.
Please note that live drawing sessions last 15 minutes.
