Turn any PDF into Anki flashcards with AI
Upload a textbook chapter, lecture slides or handwritten notes and get flashcards with spaced repetition. Export to Anki on the Plus plan.
Why build your Anki deck from your own PDF
Lecture PDFs pile up faster than most people can review them, and typing every fact into Anki by hand takes hours. A generator that turns a PDF into Anki flashcards reads the material for you and proposes question and answer pairs, so your time goes into checking and studying.
- Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or photos of pages
- Get flashcards with questions on one side and answers on the other
- Study with spaced repetition in the browser on the Free plan
- Export to Anki on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, with a 40% student discount using a school email
Upload almost any file
Add PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards are scheduled for review at increasing intervals, so you spend time on the facts you are about to forget.
Export to Anki on Plus
Plus exports your flashcards to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV, so your cards work wherever you already study.
How it works
Upload your PDF
Drop in a file from class, a textbook chapter or a set of slides. You can also paste notes directly.
Review the generated cards
Check the questions and answers, edit anything that needs changing, and keep only the cards you want.
Study or export
Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export to Anki on Plus and keep reviewing on your schedule.
Generating from your own material matters because the cards match your course, your professor's emphasis and your exam scope. Review each card before it enters your deck, delete anything vague, and add the terms your instructor stressed. Spaced repetition then schedules the cards you are most likely to forget.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from a Cold War chapter?
Most chapters work well with 20 to 40 cards, with one fact per card so each review takes only a few seconds. Prioritize dates, causes and the people behind key decisions.
What is the best way to study Cold War events with flashcards?
Study cause and effect together instead of memorizing dates alone. Ask why each event happened and what followed, which prepares you for essay questions as well as identification questions.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Paid plans add unlimited generations and exports.
