How to Create Flashcards from PDF Textbooks in 60 Seconds

The process is simple: upload your PDF (textbook chapter, lecture notes, or study guide), and our AI reads through the entire document to identify key concepts, important definitions, and relationships between topics. It then generates question-answer pairs optimized for active recall—the most effective studying method according to cognitive science research.
Unlike manual flashcard creation, AI-generated cards cover the most important material without missing key concepts. You can review the flashcards directly in your browser, or download as PDF/CSV for use in other study tools. Each flashcard focuses on a single concept to prevent cognitive overload and maximize retention.
