How the AI flashcard maker works

From PDF to a finished deck in three steps

  1. 1

    Upload a PDF

    Lecture slides, a textbook chapter, typed notes or a scanned handout, up to 50 MB. Export Word, Google Docs or PowerPoint files as PDF first.

  2. 2

    AI writes the cards

    Pick question and answer cards or cloze (fill in the blank) cards. The AI covers the examinable content and skips titles, authors and learning objectives.

  3. 3

    Study or export to Anki

    Review the deck in your browser, or download it as an Anki .apkg file and import it on desktop or mobile.

Your first deck is free, with no card needed. Paid plans start at $4.99 a month for 25 decks.

AI flashcard generator FAQ

Is there a free AI flashcard maker?

Yes. Your first StudyCards AI deck is free and you do not need a card to sign up. Upload a PDF, get a full deck, study it here or export it to Anki. Paid plans start at $4.99 a month for 25 decks.

Can AI make flashcards from a PDF?

Yes. Upload a PDF of lecture slides, a textbook chapter or your typed notes (up to 50 MB). The AI reads the text, picks out the testable facts and writes a flashcard for each one. Scanned PDFs work too, because pages without a text layer go through OCR first.

Can I export AI flashcards to Anki?

Yes. Every deck downloads as an Anki .apkg file on every plan, including the free one. Open the file in Anki on desktop or mobile and the cards land in their own deck, ready for spaced repetition.

What kinds of flashcards does the AI flashcard generator write?

You choose per deck. Normal cards are a question on the front and the answer on the back. Cloze cards hide a key term inside a sentence so you have to recall it, which suits definitions, drug names and dates.

How long does it take to generate a deck?

Usually a minute or two. Larger PDFs take a little longer, and you get an email when the deck is ready, so you can close the tab while it works.

Are AI-generated flashcards accurate?

The AI writes each card from the text of your PDF, so the deck follows your course material. AI can still word a card badly or miss nuance, so skim the deck once before you start reviewing and delete or edit anything that looks off.
