Why generate your own deck instead of downloading one

Ready-made decks seldom match the chapter or slides you are studying, which is why turning your own material into an Anki deck to PDF works better: upload the file, review the cards, and export what you need.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images of pages. The cards come from your own course content, not a generic set.

Spaced repetition

Cards are scheduled so you review them just before you would forget them, which makes each study session count.

Export when you need it

Plus exports your deck to PDF, DOCX, Anki, or CSV, so you can print it or study it in Anki.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the PDF, slides, or notes you need to learn, or photograph the pages and let text recognition read them.

Review the generated cards

Check the front and back of each flashcard and edit anything that is unclear before you start studying.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export a PDF or Anki deck with Plus.

Because the cards come from your own notes, the terms your instructor used stay in the deck. You can also add or remove cards, so the set grows with the course rather than staying fixed.

Free accounts get 3 generations per month and study in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for the Roman Empire?

Aim for one card per distinct fact, such as a date, emperor, or policy, rather than a fixed number. A single chapter often yields 30 to 60 cards, and you can cut any that repeat the same idea.

How do I study Roman emperors with flashcards effectively?

Put the emperor's name on the front and his reign dates and key policy on the back, then review in short daily sessions. Spaced repetition brings back the cards you miss most often.

Can I export my flashcards to PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included in Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Can I get an Anki deck for free?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, but exporting to Anki requires Plus. Students with a school email get 40% off.
