Instantly Make Flashcards Out of PDF and Study Smarter
Stop wasting time manually creating study aids. Upload your dense PDFs, presentations, or documents, or simply prompt our AI, and receive perfectly structured flashcards optimized for spaced repetition scheduling.
No credit card required
From Document to Deck in Seconds
Leverage cognitive science principles embedded in our scheduling algorithm, ensuring maximum retention with minimal effort. We handle the heavy lifting of knowledge extraction.
Universal File Ingestion
Easily convert notes from any source. Upload PDFs, DOCX, PowerPoint slides, or even images containing text. If you have no files, just ask the AI directly to generate material on any topic.
Cognitive Science Scheduling
Our system automatically applies optimized spaced repetition scheduling. Set your exam date, and the algorithm adapts review intervals so you review critical concepts right before you forget them.
Effortless Sharing & Collaboration
Instantly share comprehensive study sets with classmates or study groups using a simple public link. Ensure everyone is learning from the exact same, AI-generated, high-quality material.
Your Path to Effortless Mastery
We’ve streamlined the process to get you studying high-value material faster than ever before. Follow these three simple steps to generate your learning assets.
- 1
Input Your Source Material
Either upload your study documents (PDF, DOCX, PPT, image files) or type a detailed prompt describing the subject matter you need to learn for your exam or course.
- 2
AI Generation & Scheduling
Our advanced model processes the content, extracting core concepts into precise question/answer flashcards. Optionally, input your target exam date for optimized study pacing.
- 3
Begin Smart Studying
Access your new deck immediately, begin active recall sessions, and track progress. The spaced repetition system guides your review sessions for maximum long-term memory encoding.
Master Any Subject: Beyond Simple PDF Conversion
To make flashcards out of PDF files efficiently requires more than simple text extraction; it demands understanding pedagogical structure. Our tool excels here by applying principles of active recall directly during content structuring. Students often struggle with large documents because identifying key knowledge points is time-consuming. By automating this critical first step, we allow learners to focus entirely on retrieval practice, which cognitive science confirms is the most powerful way to solidify memory.
- Converting lecture slides into review questions
- Generating targeted material from dense textbook chapters
- Creating revision prompts from complex case studies
- Quickly summarizing research papers into Q&A format
- Using prompt engineering for bespoke learning topics
For those aiming for professional certifications or rigorous academic testing, the free tier provides significant utility, while the paid tier offers access to premium models for even deeper conceptual mapping. Experience the difference that context-aware AI makes when transforming static documents into dynamic, retention-focused study assets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers regarding file support, scheduling, and access tiers.
Can I upload scanned PDFs or just digital ones?
Yes, our AI is robust enough to handle text extraction from high-quality scanned PDFs as well as natively digital documents.
What is the difference between the free and paid plan features?
The free plan offers standard generation credits, while the paid plan unlocks higher volume usage and access to a more advanced, nuanced AI model for complex content.
How does the spaced repetition feature work if I don't set an exam date?
If no date is set, the system defaults to an optimal general spaced repetition curve to maximize long-term retention based on retrieval performance.
Are the generated flashcards editable after creation?
Currently, the focus is on rapid, accurate generation. While you can share the link, direct editing of generated cards is not supported in this version.
