    Begin practicing immediately. The integrated spaced repetition system manages your review schedule so you maintain mastery of the slide content.

Mastering Complex Topics by Converting Slides to Study Decks

To create flashcards from slides effectively is one of the most crucial steps in mastering technical or dense coursework. Unlike basic quiz generators, our AI focuses on extracting declarative knowledge from presentation formats—whether they are heavily graphical slides or text-dense handouts. By automating this process, we honor the cognitive science behind learning by immediately facilitating active recall sessions tailored exactly to the material you just reviewed.

  • Generating concept review from visual aids
  • Creating study sets from academic PowerPoint lectures
  • Converting image-heavy lecture notes efficiently
  • Leveraging active recall for better information encoding
  • Scheduling reviews around fixed testing dates

Students often struggle with the transition from passive viewing of slides to active engagement with the material. Our tool bridges this gap by immediately turning static presentation data into dynamic learning opportunities. Utilizing the free tier provides immediate access to this power, helping you gauge how much time you can save compared to traditional manual note-taking methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common queries about generating study materials from your lecture slides.

What file types can I upload besides PowerPoint slides?

We support uploading PDFs, DOCX files, and various image formats (like JPG or PNG). You can also generate cards simply by typing a prompt about a specific topic.

Is setting an exam date mandatory for scheduling?

No, setting an exam date is optional. If omitted, the standard spaced repetition algorithm will maintain optimal review intervals based on your performance.

What is the difference between the Free and Paid plans?

The Free plan provides standard AI generation credits. The Paid plan unlocks our more advanced, powerful AI model and grants a higher volume of monthly generation credits.

Can I edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?

Currently, the focus is on rapid, high-quality AI generation directly from your source documents. Editing functionality is something we are considering for future updates.
