Direct answer
What is an AI flashcard maker, and how does Scholarly's work?
Scholarly's flashcard maker reads the material you give it and writes question-and-answer cards from the actual content, so you skip the hours of manual typing. You upload a source or paste text, review the generated deck, edit anything you want, and then study it with SM-2 spaced repetition inside Scholarly. Paid plans can also export it to Anki.
What goes in: PDFs, typed or handwritten notes, images, slide decks, recordings, website links, YouTube videos, or plain text. The cards come from the source itself, not a generic summary of the topic.
What comes out: An editable flashcard deck with a clear question on the front and a grounded answer on the back, ready to study with SM-2 spaced repetition or, on a paid plan, export as an Anki deck.
What each plan gets: Free accounts get one AI Creation Credit and one upload (up to 8 MB; PDFs are processed up to 32 pages) to try it, and these never reset. Premium ($30/mo or $180/yr) includes 15 AI Creation Credits each week, uploads up to 300 MB, and PDFs up to 1,000 pages.
If you already have the material, the fastest way to get flashcards is to let the AI write the first draft from it and spend your time reviewing, not typing.
Updated October 30, 2026
How it works
Make flashcards in three steps
From raw study material to a finished deck, without writing a single card by hand.
01
Step 1: Add Your Content
Upload a PDF, Word file, slide deck, image, or recording, paste text, or link a YouTube video or website.
02
Step 2: AI Makes Cards
The AI reads your source and writes question-and-answer cards from it. You pick the style and how many cards to aim for.
03
Step 3: Study & Export
Edit the deck, then study with spaced repetition. Paid plans can also export to Anki, PDF, or print.
Sources
What can you make flashcards from?
Bring the material you already study from. The cards come from that source, not from a generic summary of the topic.
PDFs
Lecture PDFs, textbook chapters, and study guides. Pick a page range to focus the deck on one chapter. Free reads the first 32 pages, Premium up to 1,000, and Laureate up to 3,000.
Slides and Word files
Upload a PowerPoint or Word file, or pull a Doc, Slides deck, PDF, or Word file straight from Google Drive.
Photos of notes
Photos of handwritten notes, whiteboards, diagrams, or textbook pages all work as sources.
Pasted text and topics
Paste notes or an article. With no source at all, describe a topic and the AI writes the deck from your prompt. Check those cards against your course, since no document backs them.
YouTube videos
Paste a video link and the cards come from its transcript.
Websites
Paste a link and the AI extracts the page's content, then writes cards from it.
Lectures and recordings
Upload an audio file or use a lecture or meeting you recorded in Scholarly. The speech becomes a transcript, and the cards come from that.
Question banks
A CSV, Excel, Anki, or Quizlet export with question and answer columns is imported 1:1. If your file has 500 rows, you get 500 cards, minus any blank or exact duplicate rows.
Quality
What makes a good AI flashcard deck?
A good deck makes you pull one clear idea from memory, using your own material. A bad deck looks complete but quizzes you on trivia, repeats itself, or asks questions with three possible answers. These checks work on any deck from any tool.
One idea on each card
A card that asks two things tells you very little when you get it half right, so split it. In Scholarly you can edit any card yourself or ask the AI to simplify it.
A question with one right answer
If two answers could be correct, you end up arguing with the card instead of learning from it. Direct questions such as "Which..." or "In this situation, what..." hold up better than "Explain X." Most of Scholarly's presets cap plain "What is" definition questions at about a quarter of the deck, unless the source is a glossary or vocabulary list.
Answers you can actually recall
Long answers turn review into rereading. Short answers make it obvious whether you knew it. Exam Crunch and Memorize It keep answers concise, while Deep Understanding gives fuller explanations for harder reading.
Grounded in your source
Cards should match what your course, exam, or training actually covers. The AI works from your document rather than guessing from a topic name, but it can still make mistakes, so check anything you are unsure of against the source. On Free, a deck from part of a long PDF tells you how many pages it covers, for example 32 of 140, so you know what you have not revised.
Enough cards, and no padding
You choose a target: Low (about 30+ cards), Medium (about 60+), High (about 120+), or Very High (about 200). These are targets, not guarantees. A short or sparse source produces fewer cards rather than padded or duplicate ones, and a finished deck with fewer than 15 cards does not use your AI Creation Credit.
A quick review pass before you study
Treat any AI deck as a first draft. One pass through it doubles as your first look at the material.
Delete cards you would never be tested on.
Fix any card with more than one possible answer.
Use Repair Card to regenerate a card, simplify it, make it harder, or add missing detail. It does not use an AI Creation Credit.
Use Refine with AI for changes across the deck, such as shorter answers. Each deck supports up to 3 whole-deck refinements.
On a paid plan, turn on Use best model: GPT 6 Luna writes the deck, then Claude Opus 5.5 edits every card for clearer questions, concise answers, and better hints, for 2 AI Creation Credits.
Pick a starting preset and add your own instructions. Each preset changes the mix of cards you get. Our team wrote these examples to show the pattern; they are not captured output.
Direct recall
Balanced, Exam Crunch, Memorize It
Tests one fact or term in context, using questions such as Which, When, Who, or In this situation, what.
Example
Q: Which amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolished slavery?
A: The Thirteenth Amendment.
Why and how
Balanced, Exam Crunch, Deep Understanding
Asks for the reason behind a fact, which is harder to fake than recognizing a term.
Example
Q: Why does a larger sample size narrow a confidence interval?
A: The standard error shrinks as the sample grows, so the interval around the estimate gets smaller.
Compare and contrast
Balanced, Deep Understanding
Puts two similar ideas side by side, since mixing them up is a common way to lose points.
Example
Q: How does a debit differ from a credit on an asset account?
A: A debit increases an asset account. A credit decreases it.
Fill in the blank
Exam Crunch, Memorize It
A sentence with one term removed, and that term on the back. Good for terms whose wording matters.
Example
Q: An enzyme speeds up a reaction by lowering its _____.
A: Activation energy.
Common mistake
Exam Crunch
Names a tempting wrong idea and asks what is wrong with it.
Example
Q: What's wrong with thinking correlation proves causation?
A: Two variables can move together because of a third factor or by chance.
Scenario
Deep Understanding
Asks what would happen if something changed, so you have to apply the idea.
Example
Q: If market interest rates rise, what usually happens to the price of existing bonds?
A: It usually falls, because new bonds now pay more.
Term and memory aid
Memorize It
Starts the answer with a crisp definition and puts a mnemonic or memory trick in the card's hint. Built for vocabulary-heavy material.
Example
Q: What does hypernatremia mean?
A: High sodium in the blood. Hint: hyper means high, natrium is sodium.
Cards with images
Any deck
Add an image to any card from your library, Google Search, or the AI image generator (Realistic, Cartoon, or Sketch).
Example
Q: Which chamber is marked on this heart diagram?
A: The left ventricle.
Worked example
Worked example: a deck from one lecture PDF
A student has a 14-page lecture PDF on cellular respiration and a quiz coming up. Here is how the deck comes together. Our team wrote the cards below as an illustration; your deck depends on your source.
The setup
Source: A 14-page lecture PDF, under 8 MB, which fits inside the free plan's limits.
Preset: Exam Crunch, for high-yield facts and likely traps.
Card target: Medium, which aims for about 60+ cards. A short PDF can produce fewer.
Instructions: The quick-insert chip "Include common mistakes to avoid."
Language: Auto, so the cards match the language of the lecture.
Cost: 1 AI Creation Credit on standard Auto.
What happens next
Review. Delete or repair weak cards. A card such as "What is ATP?" is easy to recognize and tests very little, so tell Repair Card to make it harder.
Study. Flip through the deck, then open study mode, which starts a 10-question Focus session. Free stops at 5 lifetime answers and shows your score and the questions you missed.
Test. Take a timed practice exam built from the deck. Free includes 1 completed attempt.
Five sample cards
Where in the cell does glycolysis take place?
In the cytoplasm.
Which stage of aerobic respiration produces the most ATP?
Oxidative phosphorylation, at the inner mitochondrial membrane.
The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is _____.
Oxygen.
Why does a lack of oxygen stop the electron transport chain?
With nothing to accept electrons, the chain backs up and proton pumping stops.
What's wrong with thinking glycolysis needs oxygen?
Glycolysis runs without oxygen. Oxygen is needed later, at the electron transport chain.

The basics
What is a Flashcard Maker?
A flashcard maker is a tool that helps you create study cards quickly. Instead of spending hours writing cards by hand, it pulls the key information from your study materials and turns it into question-and-answer pairs.
Scholarly's flashcard maker uses AI to read your content, whether it's a PDF textbook, lecture notes, or a video transcript, and writes flashcards from it. The AI looks for important concepts, definitions, and relationships, then writes cards that test your understanding.
Traditional flashcard making is time-consuming. You read the material, decide what matters, write questions, and craft answers. With an AI flashcard maker, the AI writes the first draft, so your time goes to reviewing cards and learning the material.
AI flashcards or making them by hand?
Writing your own cards is real studying. Choosing what matters and putting it in your own words helps you understand it. The cost is time: the deck for a long PDF or a whole course can take longer to write than to study.
AI is the faster first draft when the material already exists, and your job shifts from typing to reviewing. Writing by hand still wins for short, fixed lists such as vocabulary words or formulas, where the exact wording matters. Scholarly's blank deck is free on every plan, uses no AI Creation Credit, and takes a pasted list with one card per line.
A practical middle ground is to let the AI draft the deck, then rewrite the cards you keep missing in your own words.
Free plan
How does the free plan work, and what is the catch?
You can make a real deck for free. The AI allowances are small and lifetime, so they let you try it on your own material rather than run a whole course on it.
Included on Free
1 lifetime AI Creation Credit, shared with every other AI creation type, which is enough for one AI deck.
1 lifetime upload, up to 8 MB. AI generation from a PDF reads the first 32 pages.
Blank decks you write yourself, as many as you want, with no credit used.
Importing Quizlet and Anki decks, which uses neither your credit nor your upload.
Flipping through your cards, with no cap.
Sharing a deck by link, and no ads.
The catch
Free allowances never reset. Once the credit and the upload are spent, they are gone.
Study mode stops at 5 lifetime quiz answers, and practice exams stop at 1 completed attempt.
No exporting or printing. Anki, PDF, and print are paid-plan features.
One source per creation, on the Auto model only.
100 lifetime chat messages for asking about your material.
Premium is $30/mo or $180/yr. It includes 15 AI Creation Credits each week (reset Mondays at 00:00 UTC), up to 10 sources per creation, files up to 300 MB, PDFs up to 1,000 pages, unlimited study mode, and exports.

Turning your own material into cards
Quizlet and Anki details were read on their own sites on October 30, 2026. Plans change, so check each vendor's pages for current limits and prices.
Quizlet
Best for: shared, community-made decks and quick match games for vocabulary.
Its huge public library means popular subjects often already have a set you can grab.
Its AI Study Guides can make flashcards from uploaded or pasted material with limited free access, and Learn and Test are subscriber features beyond a free try.
Anki
Best for: power users who want total control over a proven spaced-repetition algorithm.
It's free on desktop, Android, and the web, open source, and customizable with add-ons.
The trade-off is a steep learning curve, no built-in AI card writing, and a paid iOS app (AnkiMobile).
Best for your own material
Scholarly
Best for: turning your own PDFs, notes, and videos into cards without typing them.
AI reads your material and writes question-and-answer cards that test understanding.
Built-in SM-2 spaced repetition, plus Anki, PDF, and print export on paid plans.
Free to start with one lifetime AI Creation Credit and one upload. Premium includes 15 AI Creation Credits each week.
Import and export
Can you import and export flashcards?
Yes, with limits on each side. Here is what moves and what does not.
Importing decks
Free on every plan
Paste a Quizlet "Copy text" export, upload an Anki .apkg file, or bring a CSV question bank. Each row becomes its own card, word for word, and no AI Creation Credit is used.
Exporting decks
Paid plans
Export any deck as an Anki .apkg file, a PDF, or a print view, with card images included. Print as a worksheet to hide the answers and test yourself on paper.
What does not move
Worth knowing
Study history, difficulty ratings, hard-question flags, AI hints, categories, and favorites do not export, so Anki starts each card fresh. On Quizlet's side, only a set's creator can export it, and images do not come along.
Study
How does SM-2 study work in Scholarly?
Making the deck is the start. Scholarly schedules each card with a modified version of SM-2, the algorithm behind Anki's legacy scheduler, so hard cards come back more often and easy ones less.
How the schedule moves
Answer correctly and the card's next review moves further out. Miss it and the card comes back sooner. Progress is kept per card and per question type, and a correct fill-in-the-blank answer pushes a card further out than a correct true/false answer, because producing a term is stronger evidence than recognizing one.
Question types
Cards get four kinds of quiz question: true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blank, and short response, which AI grades with feedback. Opening study mode starts a 10-question Focus session with no setup.
Hard cards
Flag a card as hard and it gets a short AI hint. The flag clears itself after 3 correct answers in a row. Focus Mode can run only your hard questions or your weak areas.
Practice exams
When flipping feels easy, test yourself. Quick Quiz has 15 mixed questions, Full Exam has 30 questions in 30 minutes, and Weak Spots has 20 questions weighted toward the cards you struggle with.
What Free includes
Flipping has no cap. Study mode stops after 5 lifetime quiz answers and shows your score and the questions you missed. Practice exams stop after 1 completed attempt. Paid plans remove both limits.
It depends on who should write the cards. Anki is the strongest fully free option if you will write your own: it is free on desktop, Android, and the web, and its iOS app is paid. Knowt offers free, unlimited Learn rounds and imports Quizlet sets. Scholarly is the pick when you want AI to write the deck from your own PDF or notes, but Free covers only one lifetime AI creation and one upload, so it is a way to try it rather than a free long-term tool.
How do I make flashcards from a PDF?
Open the flashcard creator, upload the PDF or pick it from your library, and choose a page range if you only need one chapter. Pick a preset and a card target, then create the deck. Review the cards, fix any weak ones, and start studying. Free reads the first 32 pages of a file up to 8 MB. Premium goes up to 1,000 pages and Laureate to 3,000.
Can AI make flashcards?
Yes. AI can read a PDF, notes, a transcript, or a web page and write question-and-answer cards from it. The quality depends on the source: a short or thin source produces fewer cards, and a finished Scholarly deck with fewer than 15 cards does not use your credit. AI can still make mistakes, so treat the deck as a first draft and check it before you rely on it.
How do I make flashcards with Scholarly?
Sign up for free, upload your study material or paste a link, choose a preset and how many cards to aim for, and the AI writes the deck. You can edit, organize, and study it right away.
What file types can I use to make flashcards?
You can make flashcards from PDFs, Word documents (.docx), PowerPoint files (.pptx), images (JPG, PNG), plain text, audio recordings, YouTube videos, and web pages. CSV, Excel, Anki, and Quizlet exports with question and answer columns are imported 1:1.
Is the flashcard maker free?
Partly. Making blank decks, importing Quizlet or Anki decks, flipping through cards, and sharing by link are free. AI generation is limited to one lifetime AI Creation Credit and one upload (8 MB, first 32 PDF pages), and neither ever resets. Study mode stops after 5 lifetime answers, and exporting needs a paid plan.
What is the catch with the free plan?
Free allowances are lifetime and never reset: 1 AI Creation Credit, 1 upload up to 8 MB, the first 32 pages of a PDF, 5 study-mode answers, 1 practice exam attempt, and 100 chat messages. Exporting and printing decks are paid features. Blank decks, Quizlet and Anki imports, flipping through cards, and sharing by link stay free.
Can I edit the flashcards after they're made?
Yes, you have full control. Edit questions and answers, add images, delete cards, or write new ones. You can also use Repair Card on one card or Refine with AI on the whole deck, and neither uses an AI Creation Credit.
Can I import flashcards from Quizlet or Anki?
Yes, and importing is free. For Quizlet, export a set you created with "Copy text" and paste it into Scholarly's Quizlet import. For Anki, upload an .apkg file. Quizlet does not export images or sets you copied from another user, so those cards need another route, such as making a new deck from the original PDF.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, on a paid plan. Scholarly downloads a ready-to-open .apkg file with the card images included. Study history, difficulty ratings, hard-question flags, and AI hints do not transfer, so Anki starts each card fresh. PDF and print exports are also paid features.
How many flashcards can the AI make from one source?
You choose a target: Low (about 30+ cards), Medium (about 60+), High (about 120+), or Very High (about 200). These are targets, not guarantees, and a short source produces fewer cards rather than padded ones. Bring a question bank instead and every row becomes a card, so 500 rows give you 500 cards.
Does the flashcard maker use spaced repetition?
Yes. Scholarly's study mode schedules each card with a modified SM-2 algorithm: cards you get right come back later, and cards you miss come back sooner. Free includes 5 lifetime study-mode answers. Flipping through cards has no cap on any plan, and paid plans have unlimited study mode.
Is it better to make flashcards by hand or with AI?
Each has a place. Writing cards by hand makes you process the material, but it takes time. AI gives you a full first draft from a long source, so your time goes to reviewing and studying. For a short vocabulary list, a blank deck is often quicker. For a textbook chapter or a lecture recording, AI saves the typing.
Is Scholarly better than Quizlet or Anki for making flashcards?
It depends on the job. Scholarly is built for writing cards from your own files and recordings. Quizlet is stronger when you want a pre-made public set, and Anki is stronger when you want deep control of scheduling at no cost. Scholarly's free plan is much smaller than Anki's, so if your budget is zero and you will write your own cards, Anki is the better fit.
Can I make flashcards from a YouTube video or a lecture recording?
Yes. Paste a YouTube link and the cards come from its transcript, or use an audio file or a recording you made in Scholarly. The speech is turned into a transcript first, and the deck is written from that. Making the deck uses an AI Creation Credit.
Can I add images to my flashcards?
Yes. You can add an image to any card from your content library, from Google Search, or by generating one with AI in a Realistic, Cartoon, or Sketch style. Card images carry over to Anki, PDF, and print exports on paid plans.
Can the flashcard maker write cards in other languages?
Yes. Choose from 70+ output languages and regional variants, or leave it on Auto and the AI detects the language of your source and writes the cards in that language.
