Make flashcards from your PDFs for free with AI
Upload a textbook chapter, slides, or class notes and get flashcards you can study in your browser. The free plan is enough to try it on your own material.
Why a custom deck beats a generic one
A long textbook chapter the night before an exam is hard to reread into memory. Our free AI flashcard maker from PDF reads the file you already have and turns its key terms, dates, and causes into cards you can review in the browser.
- Turn PDF chapters, slides, and notes into flashcards
- Review cards with spaced repetition in the browser
- Start on the free plan with no credit card
- Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, or CSV on the Plus plan
Works with your own files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals that help you remember them, so you spend time on what you are about to forget.
Study in the browser
Review on a laptop or phone without installing anything. The free plan covers 3 generations per month.
How it works
Upload your PDF
Add the chapter, article, or handout you need to learn. You can also paste notes or upload slides.
Generate flashcards
The AI pulls out key terms, dates, and causes and turns them into question and answer cards.
Review on a schedule
Study the cards in your browser and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you miss.
Generic decks cover topics in general, but your course may stress different events or definitions. Generating from your own material keeps the cards aligned with what your instructor actually assigned.
Start with one chapter, review the cards for a few days, and add more material as you go. Upgrade only if you need exports to other tools.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a Cold War unit?
Aim for one card per key term, date, or cause rather than copying whole paragraphs. Short cards with a single fact are easier to recall during spaced review.
What is the best way to study dates and events from a history PDF?
Make cards that ask for the cause, outcome, or significance of each event, not only its date. Review new cards daily at first, then let spaced repetition space them out.
Is this AI flashcard maker really free?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you can start without a credit card. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki, or CSV requires the Plus plan.
Can I use slides or photos of pages instead of a PDF?
Yes, you can upload PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain text notes, or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition before cards are generated.
