Turn any PDF into flashcards using AI
Upload a chapter, lecture slides, or notes and get flashcards built from your own material, scheduled for review with spaced repetition.
Flashcards from your own PDF, not a generic deck
Pulling key terms out of a textbook chapter and typing them into cards is slow, which is why many students want flashcards using PDF material they already have on hand.
- Cards follow the headings, bolded terms, and definitions in your file.
- Each card asks one question with one checkable answer.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews so weak cards come back more often.
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study.
Upload what you already have
PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes, and photos of pages are all accepted.
Spaced repetition built in

How it works
Upload your PDF
Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, notes, or a photo of a page.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards and edit any that miss the point.
Study on a schedule
Spaced repetition brings each card back just before you would forget it.
Generated from your own file, the cards reflect your professor's readings and the terms your course actually covers. You can still edit any card that misses the point before you start studying.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one PDF chapter?
Focus on the terms, definitions, and concepts you need to recall rather than copying every sentence. Start with headings and bolded terms, then add cards for ideas you keep missing.
What makes a good flashcard for studying biology?
A good card asks one specific question with one answer you can check, such as naming a process or its outcome. Avoid cards that combine several ideas, since those are hard to grade yourself on.
Can I export the flashcards to Anki or CSV?
Exporting to Anki, PDF, DOCX, and CSV is a paid feature on the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser with 3 generations per month.
Does it work with scanned PDFs or photos of pages?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so scanned material can be turned into flashcards. Check the cards against the original before a big exam.
