Effortlessly Convert Notes to Flashcards Using AI

Stop manual entry. Upload your lecture slides, textbooks, or meeting notes in any format (PDF, DOCX, Image) and instantly generate high-quality, recall-optimized flashcards.

No credit card required

The Smartest Way to Study Your Existing Materials

Our system leverages advanced AI to extract key concepts from your documents, transforming static information into dynamic, ready-to-learn review sets.

Universal Document Ingestion

Seamlessly process various file types including PDFs, PowerPoints, DOCX files, and image captures of handwritten notes, ensuring no study material is left behind.

Optimized Spaced Repetition

Flashcards are integrated with a proven learning algorithm that schedules reviews based on cognitive science, ensuring long-term retention and maximizing study efficiency.

Deadline-Based Scheduling

Set your target exam date, and our tool will calculate the ideal pacing and frequency for reviewing your generated cards to ensure peak performance when it matters most.

Easy Collaboration & Sharing

Share your created study sets with classmates or study groups instantly using a secure, public link. Perfect for group study sessions.

Three Steps to Smarter Study

From raw document to scheduled review session, the process is designed to be intuitive and incredibly fast.

Why AI is Essential When You Convert Notes to Flashcards

To convert notes to flashcards effectively, speed and cognitive alignment are paramount, which is why manual creation often fails students preparing for high-stakes exams. Our AI-powered tool bypasses the tedious transcription phase entirely, allowing you to leverage existing material—whether it’s dense textbook chapters or unstructured lecture slides—and immediately enter the high-value phase of learning: active recall. This immediate transition accelerates the study workflow significantly, giving you more time to focus on difficult concepts rather than formatting Q&A pairs.

  • Transforming lengthy textbook sections into focused review items.
  • Creating targeted study aids from complex diagrams or charts.
  • Ensuring study scheduling aligns with optimal memory consolidation.
  • Generating sets that support proven study techniques like spaced repetition.
  • Converting materials across different academic disciplines automatically.

By focusing on robust content extraction, we help you build a superior knowledge structure. The integration with scheduling algorithms means your time spent studying is scientifically optimized, leading to better retention rates than simply reviewing notes repeatedly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers about file support, pricing, and how our learning system works.

What file types can I upload to generate flashcards?

You can upload PDF documents, Microsoft Word files (.docx), PowerPoint presentations, and various image formats (like JPEG or PNG) containing study text.

Is there a cost associated with using the flashcard generator?

The core service is free to use, allowing you to create and study flashcards. We offer a paid subscription for access to higher-volume generation credits and advanced AI models.

How does the spaced repetition feature work?

The system tracks your performance on each card and uses cognitive science principles to resurface information right before you are likely to forget it, cementing it into long-term memory.

Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?

Currently, the focus is on rapid, automated generation. While direct editing is not supported at this time, you can use the generated set as the foundation for your study session.
