How an AI flashcard generator handles pictures

An AI flashcard generator with pictures is most useful when your material lives on paper or a screen you cannot copy from. Photos of a textbook page, a lecture slide or a hand-drawn diagram are read with text recognition, and the text in them becomes flashcards you can review.

Upload photos of textbook pages, slides, notes or whiteboards
Labels and captions from diagrams become question-and-answer cards
Retake a blurry photo if a label is missing from the generated deck
Use spaced repetition to revisit the cards you keep missing

Example anatomy diagram flashcards

On a heart diagram, which chamber receives oxygen-poor blood returning from the body?The right atrium, which passes the blood to the right ventricle and then on to the lungs.

On a cell diagram, which organelle produces most of the cell's ATP?The mitochondrion, through cellular respiration.

On a diagram of the eye, which two structures do most of the light focusing?The cornea and the lens, where the cornea does most of the refracting and the lens fine-tunes focus.

On a labeled brain diagram, which lobe at the back of the brain handles primary visual processing?The occipital lobe, which receives signals from the eyes.

On a leaf cross-section diagram, where does most photosynthesis occur?In the mesophyll cells, which contain many chloroplasts.

Generate the full set

Photos of pages work

Snap a textbook page, handout or whiteboard and upload the image. Printed and clearly handwritten text is read with text recognition.

Labels become questions

Terms and labels from a diagram are turned into front and back cards, so you practice naming each part instead of rereading the picture.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you miss come back sooner, and ones you know fade into longer intervals, so you spend time on what you still need.

How it works

Upload your pictures

Add one or more images, or mix them with PDFs, slides or typed notes in the same set.

Review the generated cards

Check the questions and answers, then edit anything that reads wrong before you start studying.

Study with spaced repetition

Work through the deck in the browser on the free plan, and export to Anki or CSV on Plus.

Results depend on image quality. Sharp, well-lit photos with labels you can read give the best cards, while blurry or heavily cropped shots may miss words. Check each generated card against the original picture before you rely on it for an exam.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from one labeled diagram?

Most labeled diagrams work well with 5 to 10 cards, usually one per label or per relationship between parts. Start with the parts you keep mixing up.

What is the best way to study a labeled diagram?

Cover the labels and name each part from memory, then check the picture. Repeat the cards you miss until you can name every part without hesitating.

Can I export flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month and no exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off Plus with a school email.
