PDF to Flashcards in one upload

Good to know
Before you upload — 5 things to know
Quick boundaries so there are no surprises when you generate.
What you get
PDF to Flashcards you can check, not just a pile of cards
Most generators hand you a wall of cards and hope you trust them. This one shows its work.
Choose the deck size
15, 30 or 60 cards. Short handout or a full chapter — you decide how much to generate, not the model.
Choose the card type
Q&A, cloze deletion, multiple choice, or mixed. One idea per card, short answers, no copied paragraphs.
Every card has a source
Click a card to jump back to the page and paragraph it came from. A coverage view shows what was skipped.
No OCR, no scans
Text-based PDFs only. Scanned documents, image-only slides, screenshots and photos are not supported — no OCR is run on your file.
Deleted after use
Your upload is deleted as soon as the job finishes. Nothing is kept, reused or used to train models — and no deck history is stored.
Free to generate, paid to export
Generate as many decks as you like, with no card cap. One one-time payment unlocks exporting any file format for that PDF.
Workflow
PDF to Flashcards in three steps
Drop a text PDF
A PDF exported from Word, LaTeX, Google Docs or CAD works. Scanned pages and image-only decks do not — there is no OCR.
Set count & type
Pick 15 / 30 / 60 cards and Q&A / cloze / MCQ / mixed. The summary line shows exactly what will be generated.
Review, then save your deck
Generating is free and unlimited. Exporting a file is the only paid step. We keep nothing from a previous run, so download and save your cards before you close the page.
Pricing
Unlimited PDF to Flashcards generation is free. Only exporting a file is paid.
Unlimited generation
Any card count (15 / 30 / 60), any card type, as many runs as you like. Preview and edit the deck on the page — no card cap, no watermark, no charge.
Export a file
One payment unlocks every export format for that PDF — Anki (.apkg), CSV, Markdown, Quizlet text, Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx) and printable forms — with re-downloads for 7 days. No subscription, no auto-renewal.
FAQ
PDF to Flashcards — questions people ask before they convert
Does this work with scanned PDFs or images?
No. There is no OCR support. Scanned documents, image-only slide decks, screenshots and photos are not supported. Please upload a PDF with selectable text — one exported from Word, LaTeX, Google Docs or CAD.
Is generating flashcards really free?
Yes. Generating is free with no limit on the number of cards or how many times you run it. Pick 15 / 30 / 60 cards and any card type as often as you like.
When do I have to pay?
Only when you export a file. Generating, previewing and editing are free. One one-time payment unlocks all export formats for that PDF. There is no subscription.
What happens to the PDF I upload?
It is deleted as soon as processing finishes. It is never kept, never reused for another purpose and never used to train models.
Do you keep the flashcards from my last run?
No — nothing is saved. We do not store any deck, card text or generation history. Once you refresh or close the page, the deck is gone. Please export and save your cards yourself before you leave.
Can I choose the question types?
Yes — Q&A, cloze deletion, multiple choice, or mixed. Mixed blends all three and is the default for lecture notes.
Are AI-generated cards accurate?
Every card links back to the page and paragraph it came from, and you can edit or delete any card before studying. Review the deck before trusting it.
