Scan your notes and turn them into flashcards in minutes
Photograph handwritten or printed pages, or upload a PDF or slide deck, and get flashcards ready for spaced review.
Why scanned notes make good flashcards
Paper notes pile up faster than most people can review them. When you need to scan notes to make flashcards, a phone photo of each page is enough to start, and the text is pulled out for you to check.
- Photograph handwritten pages in good light so the text is easier to read.
- Check each generated card against the original page before you study.
- Split long paragraphs into several cards, each with a single fact.
- Review a short deck every day rather than one long session each week.
Photos of pages
Take a picture of each page and the text is read with recognition, so paper notes become study material without retyping.
Spaced repetition
Cards you find hard come back sooner, and the ones you know move further out on the schedule.
Your own material
Cards come from your lecture notes and readings, not a generic deck, so they match what your course actually covers.
How it works
Snap or upload
Add photos of your notes, a PDF, a DOCX, a PPTX or plain text.
Review the cards
Check the generated fronts and backs and remove anything that does not match your notes.
Study on a schedule
Study in the browser with spaced repetition, and export to Anki or CSV on a paid plan.
Good cards ask one question and have one short answer. Scanning is only the first step; the review schedule is what moves facts from short-term memory into long-term recall, so keep the cards you miss and let the easy ones space out.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one page of lecture notes?
Aim for one card per distinct fact, term or relationship, which often means 20 to 40 cards for a dense page. Cut any card you could not answer without looking at the source.
What makes a good flashcard made from scanned notes?
Keep the front to one question and the back to a short answer you can say aloud. Long backs copied from a paragraph make recall slow and hard to grade honestly.
Can I scan handwritten notes?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so clear and well-lit handwriting works best. Check the extracted text before studying, since messy writing can be misread.
Is exporting the flashcards free?
Exports are a paid feature. Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan gives 3 generations per month with study in the browser.
