3. Begin Active Recall
Start practicing immediately using the generated deck. Track your progress and review challenging cards more frequently until mastery is achieved.
The Fastest Way to Turn Notes into AI Flashcards
To upload PDF and make flashcards efficiently is the goal for every serious student preparing for exams. Manual creation is time-consuming and fails to incorporate modern learning science. CogniGuide leverages expertise in educational technology to automate this entire workflow. By digitizing your study materials—whether they are dense PDFs from a required reading or lecture slides—our system applies the principles of active recall and intelligent scheduling, ensuring your study sessions are maximally effective and targeted exactly where you need improvement.
- Creating review decks from PowerPoint presentations
- Generating questions from textbook chapters (PDF conversion)
- Automating study schedules toward a specific exam date
- Using AI prompts for conceptual summaries
- Sharing verified study sets with peers
For those studying complex subjects like organic chemistry or constitutional law, the initial barrier is often organizing the sheer volume of information. Instead of spending hours crafting questions, use the AI to instantly distill core concepts from your syllabus PDFs, focusing your energy on mastering the material through efficient spaced repetition rather than manual formatting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers regarding file compatibility, pricing, and scheduling.
What specific file types can I upload to generate cards?
You can upload PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx) files, and various image formats containing text for processing.
Is there a cost associated with turning my PDFs into flashcards?
The basic service tier for generating flashcards from your documents is completely free. Paid plans offer access to more advanced AI models and increased generation credits.
How does the spaced repetition scheduling work?
After generation, you can input your exam date. The system uses this target to adjust the recall intervals for each card, prioritizing less-known facts for earlier review cycles.
Can I edit the flashcards after the AI has created them?
Currently, the focus is on rapid, high-quality generation from source material. While generation is instant, direct editing of individual cards is not yet available, but we prioritize accuracy in the initial creation.
