No credit card required

Transform Visual Information into Knowledge

Our unique input flexibility ensures that no study material, regardless of its format, gets left behind when preparing for exams.

Capture Visual Knowledge

Upload JPEGs, PNGs, or PDFs; the AI interprets diagrams, text within images, and complex layouts, transforming visual data into structured study material.

Optimized Learning Algorithms

Decks are integrated with smart spaced repetition scheduling, ensuring you focus active recall efforts exactly where cognitive science suggests retention is needed most.

Total Content Mastery & Editing

Review, refine, and edit the generated cards in your own words, guaranteeing the study set perfectly matches your specific course context and learning style.

Visual Study Material Converted in Three Simple Steps

From a simple snapshot to a powerful, adaptive study schedule, mastery is closer than you think.

  1. 1

    1. Upload Your Visual Sources

    Add photos of whiteboard notes, scanned textbook pages, presentation slides, or raw images directly to the generator interface.

  2. 2

    2. AI Extraction Engine Runs

    Our system rapidly processes the image content, using contextual recognition to identify key terms, definitions, and relationships for automated card creation.

  3. 3

    3. Schedule & Master Concepts

    Review the resulting stack using scientifically proven active recall methods, setting an optional exam date for optimized study pacing.

Why Using Image-Based AI Flashcards Transforms Retention

Traditional studying often neglects crucial visual information embedded in lecture slides or textbook photos. Our tool solves this by enabling you to convert complex visual data directly into actionable learning prompts, ensuring no detail is missed.

  • Customization derived directly from your source material.
  • Contextual accuracy superior to generic question banks.
  • Massive time savings compared to manual transcription.
  • Seamless integration with intelligent spaced repetition.

Leveraging advanced OCR and contextual intelligence means you build the most accurate flashcards from photos available, drastically improving knowledge consolidation compared to studying from impersonal, pre-made study sets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Visual Card Generation

Get quick answers about how our AI handles images and file inputs.

How accurately can the AI extract text and concepts from an image?

Our AI utilizes sophisticated OCR and contextual analysis trained on educational materials to accurately pull text, labeling information from diagrams, and contextual relationships within the uploaded photo.

What file formats are accepted for photo uploads?

We support common image formats like JPG, PNG, and HEIC, as well as multi-page PDFs which can contain image-heavy content for processing.

Are these AI-generated photo flashcards superior to pre-made decks?

Absolutely. Pre-made decks use generic data. AI flashcards generated from your photos guarantee 100% relevance to the specific notes or visual aids you studied from.

Is there a cost associated with creating flashcards from photos?

The base functionality, including generating cards from your uploaded photos, is available for free. Advanced features and higher generation limits require the paid subscription.
