From PDF to flashcards in three steps
AI writes the cards
Key concepts become question-and-answer flashcards, in the same language as your document.
Study, edit, switch
Flip through the cards in your browser, edit any card inline, or switch tabs to play the same material as a quiz or print it as a paper test.
One upload, three study tools
Most PDF-to-flashcard tools stop at the cards. Here the same upload also gives you a playable quiz — game-style, with instant feedback — and a printable test with A/B versions. Because re-reading cards is only half of studying; testing yourself is the other half. Everything stays editable before you study or print.
Who it’s for
Students — turn dense lecture PDFs into a review deck the night before class.
Teachers & trainers — build vocabulary or key-concept decks from your own materials, then reuse the same file as a classroom quiz.
Certification prep — convert manuals and study guides into self-testing material.
