Turn a PDF into Anki flashcards
Upload a lecture PDF, a chapter or your own notes, and get a set of question-and-answer cards you can edit, study here, and export straight into Anki. Free to start, no card needed.
- 1
Upload the PDF
A lecture handout, a textbook chapter, a set of slides or your own notes. Study mode reads the document itself rather than a summary of it.
- 2
Get a set of cards back
Questions and answers drawn from what is actually in the document, with four options per card so the set doubles as a quiz.
- 3
Edit anything that is wrong
Cards are yours to change before you take them anywhere. Rewrite a question, fix an answer, delete the ones covering things you already know.
- 4
Export to Anki
One file, tab separated, which Anki imports directly through File then Import. No add-on, no conversion tool, no reformatting by hand.
Worth knowing before you start
- Cards generated from a document need reading before you revise from them. Anything AI writes can be confidently wrong, and a wrong card is worse than a missing one because you will learn it.
- The export is a tab-separated text file rather than an .apkg package, which is the format Anki imports without any add-on. Decks, tags and scheduling stay in Anki, where they belong.
- The free plan covers 1 PDF upload a week. If you are converting a module's worth of material in an afternoon, that is what Premium is for.
If you would rather not make your own, there is a library of ready-made sets you can study without an account, and any of those can be saved and exported the same way.
