No credit card required

Unlock Study Efficiency with AI Power

We combine robust document processing with proven cognitive science techniques to transform your learning materials into high-impact study tools.

Document Ingestion Mastery

Upload PDFs, PowerPoints, or images directly from your device or input text prompts to feed the AI engine exactly what you need to study across any subject.

Smarter Learning Algorithms

Leverage AI extraction combined with built-in spaced repetition scheduling to ensure long-term memory consolidation and optimized recall timing.

Customization Meets Control

All generated flashcards are fully editable, allowing you to refine AI outputs into your own authoritative study notes before scheduling your review sessions.

From Document to Mastery in Three Steps

Transforming dense reading material into efficient study tools is now faster and more reliable than ever before.

  1. 1

    Upload Your Source Material

    Select your lecture slides, textbook chapters (PDF/DOCX), or upload relevant images directly into the generator interface.

  2. 2

    AI Extracts & Formats

    Our specialized AI analyzes the content structure, pulls key concepts, definitions, and relationships, generating atomic question-answer pairs automatically.

  3. 3

    Schedule & Study Smarter

    Set your desired exam date, and the system schedules your review sessions based on scientifically validated spaced repetition intervals for optimal retention.

The Authority in Automated Study Material Conversion

Manually distilling dense academic content from complex PDFs into effective flashcards is notoriously time-consuming and prone to human oversight. Our platform utilizes sophisticated AI models specifically trained on educational data structures to accurately convert PDF to flashcards, ensuring nothing crucial is missed.

  • Understands complex structural context within documents.
  • Creates balanced, atomic question-answer pairs.
  • Schedules optimal review times based on cognitive science.
  • Handles various file formats like images and presentations reliably.

By focusing on high-fidelity document ingestion and proven learning algorithms like spaced repetition, we deliver study tools that match the depth of your source material, far surpassing generic, one-size-fits-all study aids.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clarifying how our AI technology transforms your learning inputs.

How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded PDF content?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing to identify core concepts, definitions, arguments, and relationships within the text. It then structures these into targeted question-and-answer formats, focusing on areas requiring active recall.

What specific file types, besides PDF, can I upload for conversion?

You can upload DOCX files (Word documents), PowerPoint presentations (.ppt/.pptx), and standard image files (like JPG or PNG of handwritten notes or textbook pages).

Why is an AI-generated deck better than using pre-made flashcards for my course?

Pre-made decks rarely match the specific focus, terminology, or weighting of your instructor's material. Our AI ensures 100% relevance by generating cards directly from the exact content you studied.

Is the feature to convert PDF to flashcards completely free to use?

We offer a generous free tier that allows new users to test the power of AI conversion. Advanced features, unlimited generation credits, and access to our superior AI model require a paid subscription.
