Turn your PDF into flashcards
Drop a PDF and get a ready-to-study flashcard deck back: an interactive study page that opens right in your browser — or an Anki import file or CSV. The AI writes the questions and answers from your material.
Talk to your files
Anything that used to take five menus and three export dialogs is now one sentence in the chat. Watch it work:
Built for how you actually work
One assistant instead of a dozen single-purpose converter sites.
Every format in one place
Images, documents, video, audio and data — 50+ formats handled by one chat, with a dedicated page for every conversion.
Private by design
Your files are used to run your conversion and nothing else. No sharing, no training, no digging through your data.
Seconds, not minutes
Most conversions come back before you'd have found the right export menu.
Speaks your language
The whole product — pages, assistant and answers — works in seven languages.
Nothing to install
Runs entirely in your browser, on any device. No apps, no accounts to start, no updates.
Making flashcards from a PDF, in practice
How the cards get written
The assistant reads your PDF's text and writes question/answer pairs from it — definitions become “what is X?” cards, processes become step cards, lists become enumeration cards. You can steer it: “make 30 cards focused on chapter 2” or “only the definitions”.
It works from the text of the PDF, so lecture slides, notes and textbook chapters work well; scanned page images don't (there's no OCR yet).
Pick your format: browser, Anki or spreadsheet
The default is an interactive study page: one HTML file that opens in any browser — tap a card to flip it, arrow through the deck, shuffle. No app, no account, works offline, and you can send the file to a study partner as-is.
For Anki, ask for Anki format and the file imports directly: File → Import, field separator Tab, “Allow HTML” enabled (line breaks inside cards arrive as <br>). For Quizlet or a spreadsheet, ask for CSV — same cards with a Front/Back header row.
Getting better cards
Good flashcards test one fact each. If the first deck feels too broad, say so: “split the long answers into separate cards” or “make them cloze-style questions”. Regenerating a deck with different instructions costs one conversion.
Review the deck once before studying — the AI writes cards only from your material, but you're the judge of what's exam-relevant.
Limits
Up to 500 cards per deck and about 24,000 characters of PDF text are read per request — roughly 8–10 dense pages. For a long document, ask for flashcards chapter by chapter; each request counts as one conversion (10/day as a guest, 40 with a free account).
PDF to Flashcards (Anki), answered
Common questions about making flashcards from PDFs.
Drop your PDF into the chat and ask for flashcards. The assistant reads the text, writes question/answer cards from it, and gives you an interactive study page for your browser — tap to flip, shuffle, done. Prefer Anki? Ask for Anki format and import it via File → Import.
Yes. You can use it for free as a guest. Signing in raises your limits and lets you do more per day.
No — everything runs in your browser. There's nothing to download or set up.
Your file is only used for the task you asked for. We don't share it or use it for anything else.
No — by default you get a single HTML file that opens in any browser as an interactive deck: tap to flip, arrows to navigate, shuffle. Anki and CSV formats are there when you want them.
Drop the PDF in the chat and ask for flashcards in Anki format. You get a TSV file that imports via File → Import in Anki — each row becomes a card.
From your material. The assistant reads the PDF's text and writes cards from what's actually in it. Review the deck before studying, as with any generated study aid.
Not yet — the PDF needs selectable text. Scans and photos would need OCR, which isn't connected. Export your notes as a text-based PDF and it works.
