AI Flashcard Generator

What this makes

Every card is one question and one answer, written for active recall — the practice of retrieving a fact rather than re-reading it. Upload a document and the generator reads it and writes the cards; give it a topic instead and it writes them from what the model already knows. You choose how many cards you want, how deep they should go, and you can name a section to concentrate on.

What you can turn into a deck

PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint decks, Excel sheets, CSV files and plain text. A research paper, a set of lecture slides, a contract, a textbook chapter, a page of revision notes. Scanned PDFs need OCR first — if a document has no text layer there is nothing for the generator to read, and it will say so rather than inventing cards. There is also a topic mode that needs no file at all: type “the Krebs cycle” or “Roman Britain” and study from that.

Studying, and taking the deck with you

Space flips the card, the arrow keys move between cards, and 1 and 2 mark a card wrong or right. Any card you get wrong can be retried on its own at the end. Explain opens a tutor on the card you are looking at — it will take a follow-up question, and it knows what else is in the deck. When you want the cards elsewhere, export them: Anki as a tab-separated file that imports straight into a deck, CSV for a spreadsheet, or a printable PDF.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes, and you do not need an account. Generating a deck, studying it and exporting it all work signed out.

How many cards can one deck hold?

Up to 100. The model sometimes returns fewer than you asked for on the largest decks; when that happens the deck says so rather than quietly handing you a short one.

Where are my decks kept?

In this browser, up to twenty decks. They are not yet synced to an account, so a deck made on a laptop will not appear on a phone — export it, or generate it again.

Can I import the cards into Anki?

Yes. Download chooses between an Anki file, a CSV and a PDF. The Anki export is a tab-separated file with the header lines Anki expects, so it imports as a deck without any further setup.

Can I use it on a scanned PDF?

Not directly — a scan is an image, so there is no text to read. Run it through the OCR tool first, then generate from the searchable PDF it produces.
