Step by step: from notes to a study deck

  1. 1

    Add your material

    Upload a PDF, slides, or a document, paste your notes, or drop in a topic. Prefer to bring your own cards? Import an existing Anki .apkg or Quizlet set and keep studying free.

    Add your material
  2. 2

    Choose how many cards

    Pick the number of cards and the difficulty. The AI finds the key terms, definitions, and facts in your material and turns each into a two-sided card — a prompt on the front, the answer on the back.

    Set your options
  3. 3

    Generate your deck

    The AI builds your flashcards in seconds and drops you into a study session. Review the cards, edit any you want to reword, and start studying right away.

  4. 4

    Study with spaced repetition

    Rate how well you knew each card and the built-in spaced-repetition schedule brings the ones you struggle with back more often — so your study time lands on what you haven't learned yet.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make flashcards from a PDF?
Upload the PDF into the creator, choose how many cards you want, and generate. The AI reads the document, pulls out the key terms and definitions, and turns each into a two-sided flashcard in seconds.
Is the AI flashcard generator free?
Yes. The free plan includes a monthly allowance of AI generations, and importing your existing Anki or Quizlet decks is free. Premium plans raise the generation limits if you need more.
Can I import my Anki or Quizlet decks?
Yes. You can import an Anki .apkg file or a Quizlet set and study it here for free. Your imported cards work alongside AI-generated ones in the same study session.
What is spaced repetition and how does it help?
Spaced repetition schedules each card to reappear right before you'd forget it. Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know well come back less often — so you spend your time on what you haven't mastered instead of re-reading what you already know.
Can I edit the flashcards after they're generated?
Yes. Every card is editable — reword the prompt, fix an answer, or delete cards you don't need before or during a study session.
What file formats can I use to create flashcards?
PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint slides, images (including photos of handwritten notes), and pasted text. You can also generate cards from a YouTube video link.
