Simply upload screenshots, lecture slides, or handwritten notes, and our powerful AI immediately extracts key information to build custom, active recall flashcards tailored to your visuals.

No credit card required

Study Smarter, Not Harder: Core Capabilities

Go beyond simple text input. Leverage visual learning by letting our specialized AI extract knowledge from any visual source you provide, ensuring comprehensive coverage.

Input Flexibility: Convert Images & PDFs Instantly

Seamlessly turn photos of whiteboards, complex diagrams, lecture slides, and documents into structured study material without manual typing.

Cognitive Optimization: Spaced Repetition Scheduling

Cards are automatically scheduled based on proven learning algorithms, ensuring you review challenging concepts right before you forget them.

Total Control: Edit & Personalize Every Card

While the AI does the heavy lifting, you maintain full authority to refine wording or deepen explanations in your own terms before studying.

From Image to Insight in Three Steps

Our streamlined process ensures minimal setup time so you can focus immediately on active learning and superior retention.

  1. 1

    1. Upload Your Visuals

    Upload JPEGs, PNGs, PDFs, or PowerPoint slides containing diagrams, text boxes, or key concepts you need to master.

  2. 2

    2. AI Extraction Engine

    Our model analyzes the visual content, intelligently crafting atomic questions and accurate answers based on the extracted context and meaning.

  3. 3

    3. Schedule & Master

    Review your new custom deck optimized by spaced repetition, or set a required exam date so the system prioritizes critical material.

Why Use AI to Make Flashcards from Pictures?

Creating study material manually from visual aids is time-consuming and prone to error. Our AI flashcard maker is specifically designed to process images containing crucial textbook diagrams or lecture captures.

  • Extracts text (OCR) and context from images.
  • Creates relevant, high-yield questions automatically.
  • Optimizes practice via active recall principles.

This ensures highly relevant practice derived directly from your visual sources, maximizing retention better than relying on generic flashcard decks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on how our visual input system works and its benefits for efficient studying.

How does the AI accurately generate questions from images?

The AI utilizes advanced computer vision alongside large language models to interpret text within images (OCR) and understand the context of diagrams or charts you upload, ensuring concepts are correctly extracted.

What specific image file types can I upload?

You can upload common formats like JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. This functionality is ideal for turning screenshots, photos of handwritten notes, or scanned textbook figures into study material.

Is this approach better than using pre-made picture flashcard decks?

Yes. Pre-made decks lack context specific to your curriculum or exam focus. Our AI ensures every card is generated from *your* specific materials, guaranteeing relevance for your upcoming tests.

Is there a cost to try creating flashcards from pictures?

No, we offer a generous free tier that allows you to experience the power of visual input processing and spaced repetition before needing to upgrade for advanced generation credits.
