Frequently Asked Questions About AI Flashcard Generation

Get clarity on how our free PDF conversion service works.

How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded file?

The AI uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to identify core concepts, definitions, and relationships within the text, structuring them as concise question-answer pairs.

What file formats can I upload besides PDF to create my free flashcards?

We support common document types including PDF, DOCX, and various image formats like JPG and PNG for optical character recognition (OCR) processing.

Is using AI-generated flashcards truly better than finding pre-made decks online?

Yes, because AI creation is hyper-specific. Pre-made decks often miss nuanced points unique to your lecture slides or specific textbook edition, which our AI captures perfectly.

What limitations exist on the free version for converting PDFs?

The free tier allows users to access the core generation features and spaced repetition scheduling, subject to a reasonable daily credit limit for document processing.
