How an AI flashcard and quiz generator fits into studying

A lecture deck full of dates, names and causes is hard to review in a single pass. AI-made flashcards and quizzes turn that deck into questions you can practice, so you test recall instead of rereading slides.

Upload the lecture slides or reading you were assigned, not a generic list
Mix flashcards for recall with quizzes for application
Review missed cards on a schedule instead of rereading everything
Export to Anki or CSV on Plus if you prefer another study app

Flashcards with spaced repetition

Cards come back at the intervals that suit how well you know them, so review time goes to the facts you are about to forget.

Quizzes with explanations

Multiple choice, true or false, and short answer questions include an explanation for each answer, so a wrong pick teaches you something.

Works from the files you already have

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, a Word file, pasted notes or a photo of a textbook page.

Pick flashcards, a quiz or both

Choose the output you need. Flashcards and quizzes are both built from the same source text.

Study and review

Work through the cards in your browser. Spaced repetition schedules the ones you keep missing.

Flashcards work best for facts and definitions, while quizzes check whether you can apply them. Using both on the same material shows you which topics are solid and which still need another pass.

Start with the free plan to try it on one file. Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV for studying away from the browser.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for World War II events?

Aim for one card per event, date, or cause that your course asks you to know, rather than one card per sentence in the reading. Start with the major turning points and add details once those feel automatic.

How do I study World War II dates without memorizing a list?

Attach each date to the event it belongs to, then quiz yourself on the order of events rather than on the dates alone. Short quizzes that ask what happened next are a good way to build a timeline.

Is the AI flashcard and quiz generator free to use?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports and unlimited generations require the Plus plan, which is $99.90/year or $9.99/month, with 40% off for students using a school email.

Can I export my flashcards and quizzes?

Yes, on paid plans. Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
