Getting AI to make Anki flashcards that you can trust

The fastest way to get AI to make Anki flashcards is to start with material you already have, such as lecture slides, a textbook chapter or your own notes. Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page, and the tool proposes question-and-answer cards you can review before studying.

Keep each source file to one topic or chapter so the cards stay focused.
Read every generated card before you study, and fix any answer that is wrong or vague.
Write cards as one fact each, rather than long paragraphs that are hard to recall.
Use the review schedule daily in short sessions instead of cramming the night before.

Example intro biology flashcards on cell structure

What is the function of the mitochondrion?It produces most of the cell's ATP through cellular respiration, which powers cell activities.

What does the Golgi apparatus do?It modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids so they can be transported to their destinations.

What is osmosis?It is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from lower to higher solute concentration.

How do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ?Prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus, while eukaryotes have one that contains their DNA.

What is the role of ribosomes?They synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA into a chain of amino acids.

Generate the full set

Starts from your material

Flashcards come from the slides, chapters and notes you already use, so they match what your course tests.

Spaced repetition built in

Reviews are scheduled so the cards you miss come back sooner and the ones you know appear less often.

Export when you need it

Plus users can export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads the images.

Review the generated cards

Check each question and answer against your source, then edit or remove any card that looks wrong.

Study or export

Study with spaced repetition in the browser, or export to Anki on the Plus plan.

Cards built from your own material tend to match how your course tests you, which generic decks often do not. Spaced repetition then schedules reviews so harder cards return sooner. Exporting to Anki is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month, and you can start without a credit card.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from one chapter of cell biology?

Most chapters work well with 20 to 40 cards, each covering one term, process or comparison. Start with key terms and definitions, then add cards for how processes work.

How often should I review flashcards with spaced repetition?

Review a little every day rather than in long sessions, because spaced practice works better than cramming. Cards you struggle with will come back more often, which is the point of the schedule.

Can I export the flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan includes three generations per month and browser study, without exports.

Can I use photos of my notes instead of files?

Yes, photos of printed pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload them directly. Check the generated cards against the original page, since photo quality affects accuracy.
