WORKFLOW

A clear three-step process

01

Upload one focused PDF

Choose a readable document about one topic. A focused source helps the generated note keep useful context.
02

Check the extracted note

Review headings, formulas, names, and technical terms. Compare important details with the original PDF.
03

Generate and review cards

Create flashcards from the note. Edit each card that is vague, too broad, or missing necessary context.
PRACTICAL GUIDE

Which PDFs make useful flashcards?

✓
Use a PDF with selectable or clearly scanned text. Poor image quality can reduce extraction accuracy.
✓
Split a long document by chapter or topic. Smaller sources produce more focused flashcard sets.
✓
Check tables, diagrams, equations, and footnotes in the original PDF. Text extraction can lose their structure.
✓
Do not upload protected or private material unless you have permission to process it.
