Frequently Asked Questions About AI Document Conversion

Get clarity on how the AI processes your materials and optimizes your study schedule.

How does the AI determine what makes a good flashcard question from a PDF?

The AI uses advanced NLP models to identify headings, definitions, emphasized text, and conceptual relationships within the document structure to formulate atomic question-answer pairs.

What types of files can I upload besides PDFs?

You can upload standard formats including DOCX, PPT/PPTX files, and image formats like JPG or PNG if you have scanned notes or diagrams you need converted.

Is studying with AI-generated cards better than using pre-made decks?

Yes, because pre-made decks are generic. AI cards are built exclusively from the specific content you provided (your notes/textbook), ensuring total alignment with what you need to memorize.

Is the AI PDF flashcard maker completely free to use?

The tool offers a generous free tier allowing you to generate a substantial number of flashcards. Access to the most advanced AI model and higher generation volumes requires a paid subscription.
