Generate Instant Flashcards from Your PDF & Study Notes

Stop manual data entry. Upload your existing lecture slides, textbooks (PDF, DOCX, PPT), or simply type a topic, and our AI instantly converts them into smart, spaced-repetition flashcards.

No credit card required

Smarter Studying Starts with Smarter Input

Move beyond traditional methods. We leverage cognitive science principles, built into every deck, ensuring maximum retention for your critical exams.

Upload Any Format

Convert PDFs, Word documents, or PowerPoint slides directly into study material. If you have notes, we read them. This saves hours typically spent retyping.

AI-Powered Content Extraction

Our engine intelligently identifies key concepts and terms from your uploaded files or prompt, transforming dense information into precise question-answer pairs.

Optimized Spaced Repetition

Cards are automatically scheduled using proven learning algorithms, ensuring you review challenging topics right before you forget them, maximizing memory recall.

Free Access & Easy Sharing

Use the core features entirely for free. Create decks and share them with study partners instantly using a secure, public link for collaborative learning.

Your Study Material, Ready in Three Steps

We streamline the preparation process so you can focus 100% on active recall and test readiness.

  1. 1

    Input Your Source Material

    Upload your PDF, DOCX, or PowerPoint file, or simply input a detailed prompt describing the subject you need to study. This is the core of efficient studying.

  2. 2

    AI Generates & Schedules

    Our specialized learning algorithm processes the content, generating atomic flashcards and applying the initial spaced repetition schedule tailored to your needs.

  3. 3

    Start Active Recall Practice

    Review your new, perfectly formatted flashcards immediately or set an exam date for the AI to optimize your entire study workflow toward that deadline.

Transforming Documentation into High-Efficiency Study Aids

Generating **flashcards from a PDF** is now the most direct path to mastering complex subjects, bypassing the tedious work of manual card creation. For students grappling with large volumes of digital documentation—from medical texts to complex legal statutes—the bottleneck is conversion time. Our platform specifically addresses this by offering robust input options, including direct PDF uploads, ensuring that your existing investment in study materials is immediately leveraged for effective learning techniques like active recall.

  • Creating flashcards from PowerPoint slides
  • Generating Q&A sets from research papers
  • Using prompts for specific academic concepts
  • Setting custom spaced repetition schedules
  • Sharing study decks via direct links

Expert study workflows demand tools that respect cognitive load. By automating the extraction and scheduling, users report feeling significantly more confident entering exams, knowing their review material is precisely aligned with their source documents and optimized by proven learning algorithms. This efficiency is amplified with our premium access, offering more credits and the power of advanced models for nuanced content.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Flashcard Generation

Quick answers regarding input methods, scheduling, and plan options.

Can I upload my flashcards if they are not in PDF format?

Yes, absolutely. We support DOCX (Word documents) and PowerPoint presentations (.ppt, .pptx) in addition to PDFs. You can also generate decks purely from a descriptive prompt.

How does the spaced repetition feature work?

The system uses established learning science principles to determine the optimal time for you to review each card. This minimizes wasted study time and maximizes long-term memory consolidation.

Is there a cost associated with using the AI generator?

The basic generation features are entirely free to use. We also offer a paid plan that includes higher generation credits and access to a more advanced, powerful AI model.

How do I share the flashcards I generated with colleagues?

Once a deck is created, you can generate a public sharing link. Anyone with that link can access and study the exact flashcards you created from your documents.
