Turn any PDF into flashcards for studying with AI
Upload a textbook chapter, lecture slides or class notes and get a deck you can review on a spaced repetition schedule. Free to start, with no credit card needed.
Why a deck from your own PDF beats a generic printable set
Your class reading already contains the terms you will be tested on, so the most useful option is a set of flashcards for studying from a PDF that you generated from that same reading.
- Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or a photo of a page
- Cards stay tied to your own material, not a generic set
- Spaced repetition schedules your reviews for you
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a plate tectonics chapter?
Most chapters support about one card per key term, boundary type or process, so a typical section often needs 20 to 40 cards. Start with the terms your instructor emphasized and add cards for any concept you keep missing.
What is the best way to study flashcards from a PDF?
Review new cards daily, say the answer aloud before flipping, and rate each card honestly so its repeat interval adjusts. Spaced repetition works better than rereading the same deck in one sitting.
Can I export the flashcards to PDF or Anki?
Yes, the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. The free plan allows 3 generations per month and studying in the browser only.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
