Why a custom deck beats a generic one
A PDF-to-flashcards tool is most useful when the file is a 60-page reading you need to memorize before Friday. Instead of hunting for a ready-made deck that may not match your professor's slides, you build cards from the exact material you were assigned.
- Make one card per fact so each answer is short enough to recall.
- Add a card for every bolded term and every diagram label in the document.
- Review new cards the same day, then let spaced repetition space out the rest.
- Regenerate from the PDF when your instructor posts updated slides.

PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes and photos of pages are all read, with text recognition for images.

How it works
Upload your PDF
Add the file, slides, notes or a photo of the pages.
Review the generated cards
Edit or delete any card before you start studying.
Study with spaced repetition
Missed cards return sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals.
Good cards ask for one thing each: a term, a process or a cause. Check the output against the source, delete anything vague, and add cards for the points your instructor stressed in class.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one chapter?
Aim for roughly one card per key term, process or cause, which often lands between 20 and 40 cards for a chapter. A smaller deck you can answer well beats a long one you skip.
What makes a good flashcard for biology or history?
Write a specific question with one correct answer, such as a term with its definition or an event with its cause. Avoid yes or no questions and cards that ask for a whole paragraph.
Is PDF to flashcards free?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the paid Plus plan.
Can I upload photos of textbook pages?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition. Clear, well-lit images give the best results.
