Instant, Custom AI Flashcards for Printing and Anki Use

Tired of manually creating or formatting Anki decks? Simply upload your lecture slides or notes, and our AI instantly converts that material into perfectly structured flashcards ready for study or printing.

No credit card required

Engineered for Smarter Studying, Not Just Memorization

Move beyond generic study aids by leveraging cognitive science principles applied directly to your source material.

Input Flexibility: Notes to Cards

Upload lecture PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, or even images. For immediate needs, generate decks simply by typing a detailed prompt to the AI.

Optimized Learning Algorithms

Every deck is automatically scheduled using spaced repetition principles, ensuring you focus study time only on concepts you are about to forget, maximizing retention.

Total Control and Editability

The AI output is a starting point. You maintain full control to edit questions and answers in your own words, ensuring the final deck perfectly aligns with your understanding.

Go From Source Material to Study Session in Three Simple Steps

Harnessing AI means dramatically cutting down the time spent on preparation so you can maximize time spent on active recall.

  1. 1

    Step 1: Input Your Data Source

    Upload your specific study files (PDF, DOCX, PPT) containing the information you need to master, or type a prompt defining the subject matter.

  2. 2

    Step 2: AI Extraction and Generation

    Our advanced model intelligently parses the uploaded content, formulating precise, high-yield questions and atomic answers tailored to the source text.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Schedule, Edit, and Study

    Review the generated cards, customize wording if necessary, set your target exam date for optimized scheduling, and begin efficient study using spaced repetition.

Why AI-Generated Decks Outperform Manual Preparation

When preparing for high-stakes exams, relying on static, pre-made Anki decks often fails because they rarely match the nuance of your specific course curriculum. Our tool solves this by focusing on personalization.

  • Upload your professor’s own lecture notes for 100% topic relevance.
  • Ensure every concept you studied is covered by the AI extraction process.
  • Benefit from active recall training driven by proven learning algorithms.

This personalized approach—generating study materials directly from your expertise source—is the key advantage when compared to simply searching for generic flashcard sets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Card Generation

Understand how our AI translates your documents into powerful learning tools.

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

The AI analyzes hierarchical structures, key terms, definitions, and relationships within your text. It prioritizes creating closed-ended questions that demand specific recall rather than simple recognition.

What types of files can I upload for material conversion?

We support common formats including PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and various image files containing text.

Is using these AI-generated cards better than using generic Anki decks I find online?

Yes, significantly. Pre-made decks cover generalized knowledge. Our AI creates highly contextualized cards based only on the material you uploaded, ensuring perfect alignment with your specific test objectives.

Is the full flashcard generation service free to try?

Yes, the core platform is free to use, offering a generous number of initial generation credits. Advanced features, like access to premium AI models, are available with our paid subscription plans.
