Turn any PDF into flash cards for students with AI
Printable card sets rarely match your course. Upload your own PDF, slides, notes or photos and get flash cards built from your material, ready to study with spaced repetition.
Why build your own flash cards instead of printing a set
Many teachers hand out printable flash card sets, but a generic set rarely matches the chapter you actually have to learn. A better option is to build flash cards for students from a PDF that you already own, so every card reflects your course material. Upload the file, and the generator writes question and answer cards you can edit before studying.
- Works with PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain-text notes and photos of pages
- Each card has a clear question or term on the front and the answer on the back
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around the cards you find hardest
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card required
Cards from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages. The generator reads the text and writes cards that match what you were assigned.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss return sooner and cards you know are spaced further apart, so each study session focuses on what you are most likely to forget.
Study in the browser
Start on the free plan with no credit card. Study on any device with a browser, and upgrade to Plus when you need PDF or Anki export.
How it works
Upload your file
Add a PDF, slide deck, document or set of notes. Photos of printed pages work too.
Review the cards
Read through the generated question and answer pairs and edit any that are unclear or off target.
Study on a schedule
Rate how well you knew each card and let spaced repetition decide when it comes back.
Once the cards exist, spaced repetition decides what you see next. Cards you miss come back sooner, while the ones you know fade into longer gaps, which keeps review time focused on weak spots.
Free accounts get three generations per month and can study in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV is part of the paid Plus plan.

Frequently asked questions
How many flash cards should a student make from one chapter?
Most chapters work well with 20 to 40 cards, each covering one term, fact or question. Start with the most testable points, then add more cards after your first review round.
What is the best way to study flash cards?
Review in short daily sessions and honestly rate how well you knew each card, so spaced repetition shows the hard ones more often. Say the answer out loud before you flip the card.
Can I print flash cards made from my PDF?
PDF export is part of the Plus plan, which also includes DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser without exporting.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
