Why question-and-answer cards work for Anki

Question-and-answer cards are the format most Anki users reach for, and the fastest route to a usable set is Anki Q cards built from material you already have. A chapter, a lecture deck or a page of notes can become a deck in a few minutes instead of an evening of typing.

  • One fact per card, so a missed answer shows you exactly what to relearn.
  • Questions written from your own lecture wording, which helps you recall them in class.
  • Spaced repetition on the Plus plan, scheduling each card by how well you remembered it.
  • Export to Anki as a paid feature, so your decks stay in the app you already use.

Question on the front

Each card puts a clear question on one side and the answer on the other, the layout most Anki users expect.

Spaced repetition

Cards return at the intervals your memory needs, so review time goes to what you are about to forget.

Any source you have

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the text is read for you before cards are made.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a lecture PDF, slides, typed notes or a photo of a textbook page. No credit card is needed to start.

Check the Q and A cards

Read through the generated questions and answers, and edit any card that needs a different wording.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus to keep reviewing there.

Good cards test one idea each. A question that asks for a single name, date or cause is easier to recall than one that asks you to explain a whole topic, so review the output and split any card that holds two facts.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good question for an Anki card?

A good question asks for one specific fact, such as a name, date, cause or definition, with a short answer. If the answer has several parts, split it into separate cards so each one can be reviewed on its own.

How many cards should I make from one chapter?

Most chapters work well with a few dozen cards, enough to cover the key facts without repeating the same idea. Review the generated set and remove any card that tests trivia you will not need.

Can I export my cards to Anki?

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

How many free generations do I get?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month. Plus gives unlimited generations, and students can get 40 percent off with a school email.
