Why a free flashcard website works for students

Students who want a free flashcard website usually have one goal: turn lecture slides and chapter notes into cards before the next quiz.

  • Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages
  • Study cards in the browser on the free plan
  • Use spaced repetition to focus on weak cards
  • Export to Anki or CSV with Plus

Study in the browser

Review your flashcards right in the browser with no download needed.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you find hard come back sooner, so study time goes to what you are most likely to forget.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page.

Generate flashcards

The AI reads the text and writes question and answer cards from your own material.

Study in the browser

Review cards with spaced repetition and return to the ones you keep missing.

The free plan lets you test the workflow on real course material before deciding whether to pay. Three generations a month can cover a few chapters or one set of slides, and studying in the browser costs nothing.

Paid upgrades matter only when you need to take cards elsewhere. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for $39 a year or $7.99 a month, and students with a school email get 40% off.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a chapter?

Aim for one card per distinct fact, term or definition, so a dense chapter may produce a few dozen. If a card tests two ideas at once, split it into two cards.

What is the best way to review flashcards?

Review cards in short sessions spread across the week, and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you miss more often. Say the answer out loud before you flip the card.

Is the free plan really free?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV require Plus.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Anki export is included with Plus, which costs $39 a year or $7.99 a month. Students with a school email get 40% off.
