Find the Easiest Way to Make Flashcards on Computer Instantly

Stop wasting hours manually typing notes. Upload your textbooks, lecture slides, or simply type a topic, and let our AI generate optimized, spaced-repetition flashcards directly on your desktop or laptop.

No credit card required

Why This is the Simplest Study Workflow Available

We leverage cognitive science principles and powerful AI models to automate the creation and scheduling process, allowing you to focus purely on active recall.

Universal File Ingestion

Instantly transform materials from PDFs, DOCX, or PowerPoint files directly into structured question/answer pairs, eliminating transcription time entirely.

AI Prompt Generation

If you don't have a file, just describe the subject—from organic chemistry mechanisms to historical dates—and the AI builds a tailored deck based on your prompt.

Smart Spaced Repetition

Every generated card is automatically scheduled using proven learning algorithms based on your input (like an exam date), ensuring optimal long-term retention.

Effortless Sharing

Need to study with a group? Generate a unique, public link to share your AI-curated decks with classmates instantly, fostering collaborative learning.

Generate Study Decks in Three Simple Steps

Our process is designed for maximum efficiency, moving you from raw material to active study mode faster than any traditional method.

  1. 1

    Upload or Prompt

    Choose your input: Upload existing documents (PDF, DOCX, PPT) or use the prompt box to tell the AI exactly what subject you need flashcards on.

  2. 2

    AI Processing & Scheduling

    Our system instantly parses the content, extracts key concepts, and builds atomic flashcards. You can optionally set a target exam date for scheduling.

  3. 3

    Start Mastering Content

    Review your new deck immediately. The system manages when you see each card next, guided by spaced repetition for guaranteed memory consolidation.

The Most Efficient Method for Digital Flashcard Creation

The easiest way to make flashcards on computer involves shifting the cognitive load from manual data entry to intelligent content extraction. Students often spend hours summarizing notes, only to find they haven't actually internalized the material. Our AI application solves this by automating the tedious creation phase. By processing complex academic texts or lecture notes through advanced language models, we ensure that the resulting flashcards adhere to principles of active recall, forcing you to retrieve information rather than passively reviewing text.

  • Creating flashcards from scanned textbook chapters.
  • Generating concept reviews using direct text prompts.
  • Setting specific deadlines for learning milestones.
  • Distributing finalized decks via easy-to-share links.
  • Utilizing scientifically-backed spaced repetition schedules.

This automated approach is particularly powerful for covering vast amounts of material quickly, such as preparing for comprehensive exams or mastering large syllabus topics. While the basic plan offers incredible utility, upgrading provides access to more powerful models and higher credit limits for intensive study periods.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Flashcard Generation

Quick answers regarding file compatibility, scheduling, and plan options.

Can I upload images containing text, like diagrams or handwritten notes?

Yes, the system can process image files containing text, allowing you to convert visual notes directly into digital flashcards efficiently.

How does the spaced repetition scheduling feature work?

Cards you struggle with appear more frequently, while those you answer correctly are scheduled further out, optimizing retention based on the forgetting curve.

What is the difference between the free and paid plans?

The free plan offers standard generation capabilities. The paid tier unlocks higher generation credits and access to a more advanced, high-performance AI model.

Is there a way to edit the flashcards after the AI generates them?

Currently, the primary focus is on rapid, high-quality AI generation. While editing is not a feature yet, sharing allows collaborators to review the generated sets.
