Create Flashcards from PDFs in seconds

  • Choose a book, a research paper, a memo or anything else you want to learn. All we ask is that it's in PDF format.
  • Select the relevant pages you want to learn. You can select up to 5 pages at once. These are the pages that will be used to generate the flashcards.
  • We ask the AI to analyze all the information in your pages, to organize it in a structured way. Once extracted, the AI will generate pairs of questions and answers to help you learn.
  • The flashcards are generated automatically, but you can edit them to make them more accurate and personalized. Once you're happy with the flashcards, you can export them to your favorite note-taking app (Notion, etc).

Hi 👋 I'm Pierre-Antoine, the creator of PDFFlashcards

Throughout secondary school and high school, my grades were... let's say "underwhelming." 😔

Not because I didn't care, but because memorizing endless pages of text felt like an impossible task. Class readings piled up, and information just wouldn't stick no matter how many times I read it.

Then came the intense "classes préparatoires" in France—a system designed to test even the best students.

That's when I discovered flashcards, and everything changed.

An example of a flashcard on Notion

Information started sticking. Retention improved dramatically. Learning became enjoyable.

This simple hack greatly helped me to graduate at the top of my class and earn admission to HEC Paris, France's most prestigious business school.

Me graduating from HEC Paris

Today, flashcards are my superpower. 🦸 Whenever I read something important, I convert key points into flashcards.

All my flashcards

BUT... Manually creating flashcards from PDFs was time-consuming. I'd spend hours extracting important information, formatting it correctly, and building my decks.

So I built PDFFlashcards, a tool I wish I had back in the day:

  • Extract important information
  • Format it correctly
  • Save it to your Notion

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, for now, we only support PDFs.

  • No, we do not keep the PDF information stored anywhere. We only extract the information from the PDF, create the flashcards using AI, and then delete the PDF information from our servers.

  • We limit the number of pages to 5 pages for a round of flashcard generation. If you PDF is longer than 5 pages, you can split it into multiple flashcards. Flashcard 1 would be on pages 1 to 5, flashcard 2 on pages 6 to 10, etc.
  • It depends on the size of the book. We typically limit the number of pages uploaded for a round of flashcard generation to 5 pages. That means that if your book has 100 pages, you will have to split it into 20 different flashcards.
  • It really depends on how rich the content of the PDF is. We ask the AI to extract as much information as possible in a structured way. We want the flashcards to be exhaustive and organized. In practice, we observe that most pages yield 10-15 flashcards.
  • You can still continue to use and export the flashcards you have already generated. To create more flashcards, you can .
  • We do not offer a free trial. You can try the demo version to test if PDFFlashcards is suited for you.
