A chapter PDF or a teacher's handout is a ready-made source of questions. Add it to Flashcard Studio and the file is read on your own device; the cards are then written from its text, and quotes show the page they came from, so you can go back and check.

Who it's for

  • Students with textbook chapters or lecture slides saved as PDF
  • Teachers turning a handout into a revision set

How it works

  1. Add up to four files in the left panel (they are read on your device).

What comes back

  • Groups for perfect competition, monopoly and oligopoly
  • Definitions and compare-and-contrast questions
  • Quotes with page numbers from the PDF
  • A deck ready for Anki or printing

Tips for a better result

  • PDFs need selectable text; scanned pages are pictures and can't be read yet.
  • Up to 40,000 characters per deck; split a long book by chapter.
  • Add a line on the exam so the cards focus on what matters.
  • Use Exam focused difficulty close to the test.

Questions

Is it free?

Making a deck costs 1 credit, and guests get 2 free credits every day (5 with a free account). Flipping, editing, adding, shuffling and downloading cards is free.

Can I use the cards in Anki or Quizlet?

Yes. Download an Anki import file (front, back and topic tags), or copy the deck in Quizlet's import format and paste it into a new Quizlet set. You can also print cut-and-fold cards or download an offline study page.

Does my PDF get uploaded?

The file is read on your device. Only its text goes, with your request, to the AI that writes the cards; the file itself is not stored on our servers.

Can it read scanned PDFs?

Not yet. A scanned page is a picture without selectable text, so it can't be turned into cards. Use a text-based PDF or paste your typed notes instead.
