Make printable flashcards from your own notes with AI
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Get flashcards with spaced repetition, then export a printable PDF on Plus.
Why a custom set beats a generic printable
The best way to make printable flashcards starts with the material you are actually learning, not a template someone else wrote for a different course.
- Upload the chapter or slides your class uses this week
- Keep each card to one term or one fact so it is quick to answer
- Print in batches of 20 to 40 cards so review stays manageable
- Re-export after you add new notes so the printed set stays current
Works from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages and get cards built from what your class actually covers.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you struggle with come back sooner, so review time goes to the material that needs it most.
Printable PDF export
Plus members export a PDF to print, along with DOCX, Anki and CSV files for other study tools.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, notes file or a photo of a page from your textbook or whiteboard.
Review the generated cards
Edit or delete any card that is off before you print so the set matches your course.
Export a printable PDF
Choose PDF export on Plus and print a set for class, a study group or a quick review.
A generic printout covers someone else's syllabus. Cards made from your own lecture slides or textbook chapter use the terms your instructor uses, which makes them easier to match to exam questions.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a vocabulary unit?
Most learners do well with 20 to 40 cards per unit so each session stays manageable. Start with the words from the first lesson and add more as you move through the unit.
How often should I review printed flashcards?
Spaced repetition works best when you review a card again just before you would forget it, so missed cards return sooner. Short daily sessions of 10 to 15 minutes usually work better than one long cram session.
Can I print flashcards for free?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but PDF export is a Plus feature at $39/year or $7.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
Can I make flashcards from a photo of a worksheet?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a snapshot of a worksheet or textbook page. Check the generated cards for any words the recognition missed.
