Generate the full set

Upload what you were taught

Add PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of textbook pages, and the text is read for you.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back more often, and cards you know come back less, so revision time goes on the gaps.

Export to Anki

On the Plus plan, export your deck to Anki, or use PDF, DOCX or CSV export when you want a printed copy.

How it works

Upload your material

Add your biology notes, a revision PDF or photos of a textbook page.

Check the cards

Review the generated flashcards, then edit or delete any that do not match your course.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the Free plan, or export to Anki on Plus.

Ready-made decks online are written for general biology and may skip the terms your exam board stresses. If you were hoping for a printable set, a deck built from your own material is usually more useful, because the definitions and diagram labels match your course.

Once the cards exist, spaced repetition brings weak cards back more often, so each study session targets what you are most likely to forget before the exam.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for GCSE biology?

Aim for one card per key term, process or definition in each topic, and split long answers into two cards. Start with the topics you find hardest and add more as you go.

Which GCSE biology topics work best as flashcards?

Terms and definitions, labeled diagrams, word equations and practical methods all suit flashcards well. Longer explanations, such as how the heart pumps blood, are easier to learn when split into smaller prompts.

Can I export GCSE biology flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan, which also adds PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The Free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
