Turn your own PDF into flashcards with a free maker
Ready-made printable PDFs rarely match your course, so generate cards from the material you already have. The free plan covers 3 generations a month, and PDF export is on Plus.
Why generate your own instead of printing a template
Most free PDF flashcard maker tools give you a generic deck or a blank template, and neither reflects the lecture you sat through or the chapter on your syllabus. Generating cards from your own file means every question comes from the exact text you need to learn.
- Upload PDFs, slides, notes, or images of pages
- Get flashcards with spaced repetition scheduling
- Free plan: 3 generations a month, study in the browser
- Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or Anki export
Upload what you already have
Add PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back on a schedule based on how well you know them, so you spend time on the ones you miss.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false, or short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map.
How it works
Upload your material
Drop in a PDF, slide deck, set of notes, or a photo of a textbook page.
Review the generated cards
Edit, delete, or add cards so they match what your instructor emphasized.
Study on a schedule
Practice in the browser each day and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you find hard.
The free plan lets you create 3 generations a month and study in the browser, but it does not include exports. Plus, at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Students get 40% off with a school email, and you can start without a credit card.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one chapter?
Start with one card per key term or fact, and split any card that tests two ideas at once. Shorter cards are easier to review consistently.
What is the best way to study flashcards?
Review a small set each day so spaced repetition can schedule the cards you miss sooner. Say the answer aloud before flipping the card to check yourself honestly.
Can I export the flashcards to a PDF for free?
PDF export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in your browser with 3 generations a month.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a card, and students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
