Instantly AI Turn Document Into Flashcards for Active Recall

Upload your lecture notes, textbooks, or presentations (PDF, DOCX, PPT, images), or simply type a prompt, and watch our AI instantly generate precise, review-ready flashcards tailored for your learning goals.

No credit card required

Smarter Studying, Zero Manual Entry

Leverage cognitive science principles integrated directly into our platform to ensure long-term retention without tedious manual card creation.

Universal File Ingestion

Seamlessly import major document types—PDFs, DOCX, PowerPoints, and images—or use direct prompts. The AI parses complex material, saving you hours previously spent typing.

Adaptive Spaced Repetition Scheduling

Our integrated learning algorithm schedules reviews based on proven cognitive science, optimizing when you need to see a card again to maximize memory consolidation.

Exam Date Targeting

Set a target date for your exam, and the system dynamically adjusts your review load, ensuring you cover all necessary material before the critical day.

Effortless Sharing Capabilities

Share study decks quickly with classmates or study groups using a unique public link, promoting collaborative learning and consistent knowledge reinforcement.

From Source Material to Study Session in Three Steps

We designed the process to be intuitive, ensuring you spend more time learning and less time setting up your study materials.

  1. 1

    1. Upload Your Content or Prompt

    Drag and drop your existing study files (PDF, DOCX, etc.) or simply type out the subject you need flashcards on, like 'Key concepts of Cellular Respiration'.

  2. 2

    2. AI Generates Cards Instantly

    Our advanced model processes the input, extracts core concepts, definitions, and questions, formatting them into atomic flashcards ready for review.

  3. 3

    3. Master Material with Scheduling

    Begin your active recall practice immediately. Set your exam date, and let the built-in spaced repetition system guide your study workflow for peak retention.

The Fastest Way to Use AI to Turn Documents Into Flashcards

Using AI to turn documents into flashcards revolutionizes how students and professionals prepare for assessments. Instead of spending valuable time manually transcribing notes or creating question-and-answer pairs, our tool handles the heavy lifting. By uploading dense course materials—be it a complex legal brief or a lengthy biology chapter—you activate a powerful extraction engine based on large language models. This approach directly supports effective study techniques by leveraging active recall; the AI focuses on generating challenging, high-yield questions derived directly from your authoritative source, ensuring study material accuracy.

  • Generating flashcards from lecture slides (.ppt)
  • Creating study decks from proprietary technical manuals
  • Converting handwritten notes via image upload
  • Generating atomic Q&A pairs from textbook chapters (.pdf)
  • Streamlining study preparation for certification exams

For complex topics, relying on AI to structure the initial deck prevents gaps in coverage. Furthermore, our free tier allows you to explore how powerful spaced repetition feels, providing a significant edge over traditional rote memorization methods by aligning review cycles with optimal memory encoding intervals.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Flashcard Generation

Get quick answers about our document ingestion, pricing, and learning features.

What file formats can I upload to generate flashcards?

You can upload standard document types including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint files (.ppt/.pptx), as well as common image files containing text.

Is there a cost associated with generating AI flashcards?

The core functionality, including document upload and AI generation, is available on our free plan. Paid plans offer increased monthly generation credits and access to advanced AI models.

How does the spaced repetition feature work?

The system tracks your performance on each card and automatically schedules subsequent reviews according to established learning algorithms to enhance long-term memory retention.

Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?

Currently, the focus is on rapid, accurate generation from source material. While direct editing is not supported at this time, you can regenerate decks based on refined prompts.
