Upload your lecture slides, textbooks, or handwritten notes. Our AI reads every page, extracts the key concepts, and generates study-ready flashcards with cloze deletions. Export to Anki or study online.
No signup required · 3 free generations/day · Anki export with paid plan
Three steps from a PDF file to a complete study deck. No manual typing, no copy-pasting.
Drag and drop any PDF — lecture slides, textbook chapters, scanned handwritten notes, or research papers. We also accept PowerPoint and Word files.
Our AI reads every page, identifies definitions, formulas, dates, and relationships, then generates Basic and Cloze deletion flashcards with smart hints.
Get your flashcards instantly. Export as a real .apkg file for Anki, download a printable PDF, or study with our built-in spaced repetition system.
Students spend hours retyping lecture content into flashcard apps. That time should go to actual studying. Here is what changes when you let AI handle the extraction.
A 40-slide deck becomes a complete flashcard set in 30 seconds. No more typing each card by hand after every class.
Scanned notebooks and photographed whiteboards are processed with optical character recognition. Your handwriting becomes searchable, study-ready cards.
The AI identifies which terms to mask for maximum recall. You get cards like "The {{c1::mitochondria}} is the powerhouse of the cell" automatically.
Flashcards follow the order and terminology of your professor, not generic textbook language. Study exactly what will be on your exam.
Not a CSV hack. A proper .apkg file with SQLite structure, note types, and cloze formatting that imports cleanly into every Anki platform.
Organic chemistry, constitutional law, anatomy, machine learning, history — the AI adapts to the domain and generates subject-appropriate cards.
Most tools make you chat with your PDF and copy answers. We skip the middleman and generate study-ready flashcards directly.

All 8 formats from a single PDF upload. No need to use separate tools for each format.
Yes. We accept PDF, PowerPoint (.pptx), and Word (.docx) files. PowerPoint slides are converted to text before the AI extracts key concepts. Diagrams and charts are processed for context, so your flashcards capture everything from the lecture — not just bullet points.
Yes. Our AI uses optical character recognition (OCR) to read handwritten notes from scanned PDFs and photos. It works best with clearly written notes on unlined or lined paper. Upload a scan or a clear photo, and the AI will extract definitions, formulas, and key facts into flashcards.
Absolutely. We generate a real .apkg file — the native Anki format — with proper SQLite structure, Basic and Cloze card types, and formatting. It imports directly into Anki Desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux), AnkiDroid (Android, free), and AnkiMobile (iOS). Anki export is available with a paid plan.
Free users can upload PDFs up to 20 pages per generation. Paid users can process documents up to 100 pages. For longer textbooks, we recommend uploading one chapter at a time for the best flashcard quality — the AI produces more focused cards from cohesive sections.
Yes. You get 3 free study-pack generations per day without creating an account. Each generation produces flashcards plus 7 other study formats. Anki .apkg export and unlimited generations are available with a paid plan starting at $8.99/month.
We support PDF, PowerPoint (.pptx), Word (.docx), and plain text files. You can also paste text directly or type a topic instead of uploading a file. For image-based PDFs (scanned textbooks, handwritten notes), our OCR pipeline extracts the text automatically before generating flashcards.
