The Smarter Way to Study
Move beyond traditional rote memorization. Our platform integrates cognitive science principles directly into your study materials, optimizing retention automatically.
Multi-Format Upload Support
Seamlessly convert existing learning materials—whether they are PDFs, PowerPoint slides, or Word documents—into structured digital flashcards, saving hours of transcription time.
AI-Driven Prompt Generation
If you lack physical notes, simply describe the topic or concept (e.g., 'Key principles of macroeconomics') and the AI instantly builds a comprehensive deck ready for study.
Spaced Repetition Scheduling
Flashcards are inherently structured around proven learning algorithms. Set your target exam date, and the system schedules reviews precisely when you need reinforcement most, maximizing long-term memory encoding.
Effortless Sharing Capabilities
Collaborate with peers or share curated knowledge instantly. Generate a public link for any deck you create, ensuring everyone studies from the same high-quality, AI-verified material.
Generate Your First AI Flashcards in Three Steps
We automate the tedious preparation so you can focus purely on active recall and mastery. This workflow is optimized for speed and learning effectiveness.
- 1
1. Input Your Source Material
Upload your study files (PDF, DOCX, PPT, images) directly, or use our natural language prompt box to tell the AI exactly what content you need flashcards on.

3. Study & Schedule Mastery
Review your new deck immediately, set a target date if applicable, and begin practicing with scientifically informed review sessions designed for superior retention.
Mastering Study Workflow with AI Flashcards
To create Anki flashcards efficiently, students often waste significant time manually formatting notes, a process known to hinder true learning focus. Our tool eliminates this bottleneck by using advanced AI to parse complex documents—like dense textbook chapters or lecture slides—and instantly structure them into high-utility question-answer pairs. This leverages your study materials directly, fostering superior active recall practices immediately upon upload, which is crucial for any high-stakes examination.
- Generating flashcards from scanned lecture notes or image captures.
- Creating specific study decks for challenging concepts identified in class.
- Utilizing spaced repetition schedules tailored to upcoming university exams.
- Sharing essential revision decks with study groups quickly.
- Rapidly prototyping study materials for self-assessment.
While many systems focus only on digitization, we prioritize cognitive science. By generating cards optimized for spaced repetition scheduling—and allowing you to input your exam deadline—we ensure that the time you spend studying is maximally effective, moving you confidently toward subject mastery faster than manual creation ever could.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about converting your materials and using AI for smarter studying.
Is the tool truly free, or are there hidden costs to create Anki flashcards?
The core functionality, allowing you to upload materials and generate flashcards using our standard AI model, is completely free to use. We offer an optional paid plan for users requiring higher generation limits or access to our premium AI model.
What file formats can I upload to generate flashcards?
You can upload common formats including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx). You can also input material via images or by typing a direct prompt into the interface.
How does the spaced repetition scheduling work?
You can optionally input your exam date. The system then uses that target date to calculate the optimal intervals for reviewing each card, ensuring you review difficult material more frequently than easier concepts.
Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?
At the moment, the focus is on rapid, high-volume generation directly from source material. Editing individual cards is not currently supported, but you can regenerate decks from slightly modified source files.
