Turn your USMLE study material into flashcards with AI
Skip the generic download. Upload your lecture slides, review PDFs, notes or page photos and get flashcards that match what you actually study.
Why custom USMLE flashcards beat a generic download
Most free downloads are generic decks built for someone else's course, so the facts may not match what your school or question bank emphasizes. Making your own USMLE flashcards from the material you actually study keeps review tied to your lectures.
- Cards cover your own lectures, not a generic syllabus
- Photos of textbook pages are read with text recognition
- Missed cards return sooner through spaced repetition
- Export to Anki, PDF or CSV on the Plus plan
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages, and get cards drawn from your own sources.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so high-yield facts stick before exam day.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into practice questions with explanations, or into a mind map of the system you are studying.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for USMLE Step 1?
There is no fixed number. Focus on high-yield facts from your own lectures and question bank review, and cut cards you already answer correctly every time.
How should I study USMLE flashcards each day?
Short daily sessions work better than long cramming blocks. Spaced repetition helps by showing the cards you miss more often than the ones you know well.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus ($99.90/year or $9.99/month) includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.
Is it free to start?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and needs no credit card. Students get 40% off with a school email.
