Frequently Asked Questions
What types of PDFs work best?
Use text-based lecture notes, study guides, or focused textbook sections up to 50MB. Each import processes up to 50,000 characters of extracted text. Image-only scans need OCR first, and diagrams alone may not provide enough source facts.
How many flashcards does it generate from a PDF?
A free account can request up to 15 cards per deck; Pro can request up to 100. Choose topics from the outline. The final count depends on the distinct facts in those topics, so a short source may produce fewer cards than requested.
Is the PDF to flashcards feature free?
Your first import is free with an account, with up to 15 cards and no payment card required. Later imports need PDF credits or Pro. Credits retain your plan's card limit; they do not unlock unlimited cards. You can save and study the cards you generate.
Can I edit the generated flashcards?
Yes! After generation, you can edit any flashcard — change questions, modify answers, add new cards, or remove ones you don't need. You have full control over your deck.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Image-only scanned PDFs are not supported directly. Run OCR first and export a PDF with selectable text, then upload it.
Prefer ready-made cards?
Skip the setup — open a deck and start studying instantly, or browse hundreds more in the marketplace.
