AI flashcard generator for university

Your lectures, turned into flashcards. With proof on every card.

Add your slides or PDFs and get AI flashcards in seconds, each one quoting the page it came from. Spaced repetition does the rest.

Free for your own cards, for good.

  • Every card links to its page
  • FSRS spaced repetition on every plan
  • Bring your Anki decks
  • New cards overnight from your misses

How it works

From your file to exam day, in three steps.

  1. 1

    Add what you study

    Lecture slides, notes, a textbook chapter or a past exam: PDF, Word or photos. Your cards are ready in a few seconds.

  2. 2

    Get cards with proof

    Each card quotes the line it came from. One tap opens that page, so you never have to learn something that wasn't in your course.

  3. 3

    Study a few minutes a day

    Close three rings each day. FSRS brings every card back just before you'd forget it, and friends keep you going.

Why not just ask a chatbot?

AI that shows its work.

A chatbot can write flashcards, but it can't show you where an answer came from, and it won't tell you when it's wrong. FlashCardz writes only what your material says, checks every card against the line it quotes, and drops the ones that don't hold up.

  • Every card quotes its line and page
  • Each card is checked against its quote before you see it
  • Your files make your cards, and they're never shown to anyone else
  • Cards are written in the language of your material

Make your own cards, right beside the PDF.

Read your lecture on one side and write your cards on the other.

  • Every card keeps its file and page
  • See the card as you write it
  • Bring your Anki decks with you

On every plan

Ready on exam day, not just tomorrow.

  • The FSRS memory model, on every card
  • Reviews planned around your exam date
  • Fewer reviews than older schedulers for the same recall
  • Your imported Anki cards too

On Plus

It gets smarter while you sleep.

    “Now I can actually trust what I’m studying.”

    I’ve given up on most AI flashcard apps because sooner or later they just give me AI slop. This one feels different. Every card shows the exact line from my slides and the page it came from, so if something looks off I can check it in seconds.

    The cards are good too. They ask about the actual ideas, not random blanked-out words. And every morning there are new ones built around whatever I messed up before. That’s honestly gotten me through more exams than I want to admit.

    It saves me hours of making Anki cards, and now I can actually trust what I’m studying. Worth it.

    “I wake up to new cards about exactly that.”

    I failed my first physiology exam, and I’d used flashcards the whole time. I had studied them for A LONG TIME, and I knew the cards, knew exactly what came after the last and knew how to respond exactly to the questions written on them. I could recite a definition word for word.

    FlashCardz works out the key ideas in your material and sorts them by how much they matter. Things that come up in past papers, or that your lecturer keeps repeating, go to the top. Then it tests each one from different angles, which makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.

    The part that calmed me down was the countdown on the home screen where it shows how many days are left until the exam and how many of the must-know ideas I’ve actually learned, and it tells me whether I’m on track.

    And when I confuse two things, like ACE inhibitors and ARBs, I wake up to new cards about exactly that. Cool.

    “One tap takes me back to the exact page.”

    I’m a law student, and honestly I like making my own cards. Writing them is half of how I learn. What I hated was the back and forth between my reading PDF and Anki, copying text over and losing track of where everything came from.

    This app fixes that. My PDF is open on one side and I write the card next to it while each card stays linked to its file and page, so when I’m revising and can’t remember the context of a case, one tap takes me back to the exact page. That alone has saved me so much time.

    And it’s free. Honestly, if you’re someone who wants to write your own cards and wants them organized properly and then to be able to study in an effective way, which their algorithm is amazing by the way, this is the nicest way I’ve found to do it.

    “I finish a lecture’s worth of cards in the same time I used to make only a few.”

    I used to spend my whole Sunday “making flashcards.” By that I mean three hours copying and pasting from lecture PDFs into Anki, and then another hour trying to work out which slide a card even came from, riveting stuff.

    Now my PDF sits on one side, I type the card on the other, and it remembers the file and page all by itself. I finish a lecture’s worth of cards in the same time I used to make only a few. When I forget what a card was about, one tap takes me to the right page, awesome.

    “The best study motivation I’ve ever had.”

    My flatmate and I added each other as friends on FlashCardz as a joke. Three weeks later we’re both properly invested in each other’s rings, and neither of us will admit it.

    The rings are clever because they’re set to my own goals. If I only have 20 minutes, my rings fit 20 minutes, so I can still beat my flatmate, who sits in the library for three hours. (Sorry, Tom.) A ring is never impossible to close, so you don’t get that “why bother” feeling.

    And you can’t cheat. I tried speed-swiping “got it” through a pile of cards, and the ring just didn’t move. The weekly score also counts how much you actually remember, so rushing ends up costing you points anyway. Rude, but fair. Seeing a friend’s rings fill up during the day is the best study motivation I’ve ever had.

    “I open it every day without forcing myself.”

    Been using it for about a month for my pharm module. Honestly the main reason i stuck with it is that it doesn’t feel like a chore to open. You get your cards for the day, you swipe through them, done. I usually do it on the bus in the morning.

    I like that you can tap a card and see where in the lecture it came from, because a couple of times i was sure a card was wrong and it turned out i’d just forgotten that slide lol

    It worked with no signal in the underground bit of my commute too, which my old app never did. But yeah, i open it every day without forcing myself, which is more than i can say for anki

Questions

What is an AI flashcard generator?

A tool that reads your study material and writes question-and-answer cards from it, so you spend your time remembering instead of typing. FlashCardz goes a step further: each card quotes the line and page it came from, and is checked against that line before you see it.

How do I make flashcards with AI?

Add your lecture slides, a PDF, notes or photos, and FlashCardz writes the flashcards for you: one idea per card, each quoting the line and page it came from. Prefer to write them yourself? The free card maker sits beside your PDF and links every card to its page.

Can I make flashcards from a PDF or lecture slides?

Yes. Add a PDF, PowerPoint, Word file, EPUB or photos of your notes. Your first cards are ready in minutes, while the rest of the file is read. You can also make cards yourself in the card maker, right beside the PDF.

Is it really free?

Yes. On Free you make unlimited cards yourself, in the card maker or by hand, import Anki decks, study with spaced repetition, and close your rings with friends. Plus adds AI cards made from your files.

Can I bring my Anki decks?

Yes. Import an .apkg or a spreadsheet and your cards, images and subdecks come with you, review history included if you want it.

What happens to my files?

They're yours. They're read to make your cards and shown to you as proof, never to other students. You can delete a file or your whole account at any time.

Which languages does it work in?

The app is in 28 languages, among them most of the EU's, Russian, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Cards are written in the language of your material.

Which subjects is it made for?

Any subject at university. Your cards come from your own lectures, notes and past exams, so it works with whatever you study.

How does the free week work?

You choose Plus or Ultimate and add a card at checkout. Nothing is charged for seven days, we remind you before the week ends, and you can cancel before then.
