Why slide decks make weak study material on their own

Lecture decks are packed with terms and diagrams, but flipping through slides is a slow way to review them, and a slide rarely states the answer as a question. A PowerPoint to flashcards conversion turns each concept into a prompt you have to recall, which is what memory practice needs.

  • Each card targets one idea from the slide, not the whole slide at once.
  • Speaker notes and slide text are both used when they are present in the file.
  • Edit or delete any card before you start studying.
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month; Plus removes the limit.
Example intro biology flashcards from lecture slides
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria, through oxidative phosphorylation in the inner membrane.
What is osmosis?Net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane toward the side with higher solute concentration.
Where does glycolysis take place?In the cytoplasm, where glucose is split into two pyruvate molecules.
What is the main function of ribosomes?Synthesizing proteins by translating mRNA into a chain of amino acids.
How do the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis differ?Mitosis gives two genetically identical diploid cells; meiosis gives four genetically distinct haploid gametes.

Reads your slides

Titles, bullet points and speaker text in .pptx files are extracted so each key term can become a card.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards resurface on a schedule that targets the ones you are most likely to forget, so review time goes to weak spots.

Slides, notes and images

Also works with PDF, DOCX, plain-text notes and photos of printed pages read with text recognition.

How it works

Upload your deck

Drop in the .pptx file from class or paste the text from your notes.

Review the cards

Check the generated question and answer pairs and edit any that miss the point of a slide.

Study on a schedule

Work through the cards in the browser, and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you miss.

If your material is not in slide form, the same process works with PDF readings, Word documents, typed notes or photos of a whiteboard. Generating cards from your own material keeps the questions tied to what your instructor actually covered.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from a lecture deck on intro biology?

Aim for one card per distinct term, process or cause-and-effect relationship in the deck, which often means 20 to 40 cards for a typical lecture. Cut any card that asks for information you would never need to recall on an exam.

What makes a good flashcard for a slide that is mostly a diagram?

Write the question around one labeled part of the diagram and put the label or its function on the back. Avoid cards that ask the reader to identify the whole figure at once.

Can I export PowerPoint-generated flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is a Plus feature at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan for turning slides into flashcards?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study with no credit card needed to start. Upgrading to Plus or Pro removes the monthly limit and adds export options.
