Turn your own notes into flashcards you can print
Paper cards still help for quick review. Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get a flashcard set you can print, plus spaced repetition for studying on screen.
Why print from your own material
Students who want online flash cards to print usually already have the material: a lecture deck, a textbook PDF or a photo of handwritten notes. Typing every term onto index cards by hand takes longer than most study sessions allow, so generating the set from those files is faster and keeps the cards tied to what your course actually covers.
- Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX, PPTX, notes or images of pages
- Review and edit every card before you print
- Export a printable PDF on the Plus plan
- Keep spaced repetition for online review between printed sessions
Built from your material
Start from your lecture slides, textbook chapter or class notes instead of a generic set that may not match your course.
Printable PDF export
Plus users can export a PDF of their flashcards, ready to cut and study on paper.
Spaced repetition too
Study online with spaced repetition, then print only the cards you keep missing when you want a paper backup.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Generate your flashcards
Get a set of flashcards from your own content. Edit any card that is wrong or unclear before you print.
Export and print
On Plus, export the set as a PDF and print it. Free accounts can study in the browser but cannot export.
Paper is useful for quick reviews on a commute, for marking up cards as you go, or for study groups that want a physical stack. Start with a few generations on the free plan to test the cards, then move to Plus when you want the printable PDF. A school email gets 40% off.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I put on one printed page?
Many students cut a sheet into 8 cards, but any size you can read and handle comfortably works. Shorter answers fit better on small cards, so keep each back side brief.
How should I study printed flashcards effectively?
Read the front, say the answer aloud, then flip the card to check. Sort the cards into known and unknown piles, and review the unknown pile more often until it shrinks.
Can I print flashcards on the free plan?
The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports. PDF export is available on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.
Can I make flashcards from a photo of my notes?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of handwritten or printed notes and generate cards from it.
