Ditch Manual Entry: Create AI Flashcards From Any File

Transform your PDFs, presentations, and images into powerful, review-ready flashcard sets instantly. Leverage cognitive science for smarter studying, not harder studying.

No credit card required

Study Smarter, Not Harder

Our AI handles the heavy lifting of extraction and scheduling so you can focus purely on learning and retention.

Instant Document Ingestion

Upload PDFs, DOCX, or image files directly from your desktop or cloud storage. Our engine parses complex material into precise study questions.

Optimized Spaced Repetition

Cards are automatically scheduled based on proven learning algorithms. Review exactly when you are about to forget, maximizing long-term memory storage.

Set a Target Date

Input your exam or assessment date, and the system intelligently paces your review schedule to ensure peak readiness when it matters most.

Effortless Sharing

Generate a secure, public link to share entire study sets instantly with classmates or study groups without needing account synchronization.

From Document to Retention in Three Steps

Our workflow is designed for maximum efficiency, integrating seamlessly into your existing academic or professional study routines.

  1. 1

    1. Upload Your Source Material

    Select your study notes—whether they are lecture slides, textbook chapters, or research papers—and upload the file format of your choice (PDF, DOCX, image).

  2. 2

    2. AI Generates Cards

    Our proprietary AI analyzes the content structure, extracts key concepts, and automatically formats them into atomic question-and-answer flashcards.

  3. 3

    3. Study & Schedule

    Start your active recall sessions immediately. Optionally set your deadline, and the spaced repetition scheduler takes over managing your review cycle.

Master Complex Material with AI-Powered Study Tools

Stop worrying about how to make flashcards private or how to manually transfer notes; leverage this AI tool to convert complex documents into high-utility study material effortlessly. By automating the creation process, you gain valuable time back, which you can dedicate to practicing active recall, the most effective learning technique. This approach directly taps into cognitive science principles, moving beyond simple memorization toward true comprehension.

  • Generating study materials for certification exams
  • Creating quick revision decks from meeting transcripts
  • Converting large textbook sections into manageable review blocks
  • Utilizing spaced repetition algorithms for better memory encoding
  • Sharing accurate study resources with collaborators

For advanced learners, consider how setting a specific review cadence against a fixed deadline (like a final exam date) ensures that your brain encounters the information just as retrieval strength begins to fade, drastically improving long-term retention compared to cramming.

Frequently Asked Study Questions

Answers to common queries about file support and study scheduling.

What file types can I upload to generate flashcards?

You can upload standard documents like PDFs and DOCX files, as well as common image formats containing text, such as PNG or JPG files.

Is the spaced repetition scheduling adjustable?

The system automatically optimizes your schedule. However, if you input a specific exam date, the algorithm adjusts intervals to ensure maximum readiness by that target day.

How can I share the flashcards I create?

You can easily share your generated study sets with others by generating a unique, public sharing link directly from the app interface.

Is there a charge to use the AI generation features?

The core functionality is available for free with set generation credits. A paid subscription unlocks higher credit limits and access to our most advanced AI model.
