Make your own flashcards from any PDF or set of notes
Upload your own study material and get flashcards built from it, with spaced repetition to help you remember them.
Why make your own flashcards from your own material
When you need an app to make your own flashcards, the most useful one starts from the material your class actually uses, not a generic deck that may not match your syllabus.
- Works with PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes and photos of pages.
- Each card asks one question so you can check yourself quickly.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around the cards you miss.
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study.
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page, and the flashcards come from what you actually need to learn.
Spaced repetition
Cards you find hard come back sooner, so your review time goes to the material you are most likely to forget.
Study anywhere
Free accounts study in the browser. Plus adds export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV when you want to take your cards elsewhere.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a file or snap a photo of your notes. Photos are read with text recognition.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards, edit anything that is off, and keep the ones that cover what matters.
Study on a schedule
Work through your deck and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you need to see again.
Writing cards by hand works, but it takes time that is better spent reviewing. Generating them from your own slides or chapter notes keeps the wording close to what your instructor will test.
You still decide what to keep. Read each card, delete the ones that are too broad, and add your own where the app missed a detail.
