PDF to Worksheet
Turn a PDF, Word doc, slide deck, spreadsheet, or a website URL into a printable practice worksheet — structured problems, quizzes, or blank handouts, grounded in your own material and ready to download in a few minutes.
Free to start · No credit card · Up to 3 sources per worksheet
Practice problems from your own material
Stop hunting for worksheets that almost match your class. Build one straight from the source you're actually studying.
Grounded in your source
Every question is generated from the PDF, notes, slides, or page you upload — so the worksheet covers exactly your syllabus, not a generic template.
Print-ready PDF
You get a clean, downloadable PDF worksheet you can print and hand out, or work through on screen. No layout or formatting work on your end.
Answer keys built in
Practice Set, Mixed Review, and Quiz + Key styles come with a worked answer key. Need a clean handout instead? The Blank Worksheet style hides every answer.
How it works
Three steps from your source material to a finished, printable worksheet.
Select or upload sources
Pick from your uploaded library, upload new PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, text, or spreadsheet files, add a Google Drive document, paste a website URL — or skip sources and just describe the topic. Up to 3 sources per worksheet.
Customize style and instructions
Choose a worksheet style (Practice Set, Mixed Review, Quiz + Key, or Blank), pick the AI model and language, and add optional custom instructions like "include 50% application questions" or "add a short answer key".
Generate and download
Scholarly generates the worksheet from your sources in a few minutes, returns a downloadable PDF, and saves it to your library. It keeps processing even if you close the browser.
Inputs it accepts
Combine up to 3 sources per worksheet — or skip them entirely and type a topic.
PDF documents
Lecture slides, textbook chapters, study guides, or any PDF you've saved.
Word documents
Upload .doc and .docx files — class notes, handouts, or essays.
PowerPoint decks
Pull problems straight from .ppt and .pptx lecture slides.
Text and markdown files
Plain .txt, .md, .csv, and similar text files work too.
Spreadsheets
Excel and Google Sheets data becomes practice problems.
Google Drive documents
Connect Drive and pull a document in without downloading it first.
Website URLs
Paste a link to a live web page or an online PDF.
A typed topic prompt
No file? Just describe the topic and Scholarly builds the worksheet from scratch.
Pick the worksheet style
Same source, four different outputs. Choose the format that fits how you want to study or teach.
Practice Set
BalancedA balanced set of problems across the material with a full answer key — the everyday study worksheet.
Mixed Review
FreeWarm-ups, core problems, application questions, and a challenge section — a varied-difficulty review.
Quiz + Key
FreeAn assessment-style worksheet with a matching answer key, ready to use as a self-test or class quiz.
Blank Worksheet
FreeProblems only, no visible answers — a clean student handout for in-class or homework problem-solving.
The style shapes the layout and whether answers are shown. Whichever you pick, every question is grounded in the source you uploaded.
Everything in your worksheet
All the controls to shape a worksheet that fits your class, then download it as a clean PDF.
Four worksheet styles
Practice Set, Mixed Review, Quiz + Key, and Blank Worksheet — each with its own layout and difficulty arc.
Source-grounded questions
Problems are generated from your PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, text, spreadsheets, Google Drive docs, or live websites — never invented from thin air.
Custom instructions
Steer the worksheet with a free-form note — vary question types, adjust difficulty, set spacing, or request worked solutions.
Optional answer keys
Answer keys and worked solutions come built into the Practice, Review, and Quiz styles, and are excluded from the Blank style.
Language selection
Generate the worksheet in the language you study in — you're not limited to English.
Printable PDF output
The result is a clean, print-ready PDF you can hand out in class or work through on screen.
Saved to your library
Each worksheet lands in your library as generated PDF content, so it's there to download again whenever you need it.
Up to 3 sources combined
Merge a few chapters, a slide deck, and a web page into one worksheet that spans the whole topic.
Free and Ultimate tiers
Start free with a daily AI-creation quota; Ultimate raises your daily limits and unlocks AI model selection.
AI model selection
On Ultimate, choose the AI model that generates your worksheet; the free plan runs on one model.
Background processing
Generation continues even if you close the tab — come back and your worksheet is waiting in your library.
Topic-prompt mode
No source file? Type a topic and Scholarly writes the whole worksheet from scratch.
Built for real study and teaching
However you study or teach, there's a worksheet style for it.
Teachers building practice or quizzes
A biology teacher uploads a lecture PDF and generates a Quiz + Key worksheet with assessment questions and a matching answer key.
Study groups working a chapter
A group uploads an organic chemistry textbook chapter and generates a Mixed Review with worked examples to practice together.
Students prepping for exams
A student pastes a website URL of practice problems and generates a Practice Set with a full answer key to drill before a test.
Instructors making blank handouts
A professor uploads a slide deck and generates a Blank Worksheet version for in-class, no-answers-shown problem-solving.
How Scholarly compares
Other tools are great at what they do — but they don't turn your own sources into a printable worksheet. Here's where each one wins.
Best for flashcard-based review. Strong study modes and a huge library of peer-created card sets.
Polished mobile app for review on the go.
Focuses on card-based recall, not problem sets.
Doesn't generate custom worksheets or printable PDFs from your own sources.
Best for visual design. Beautiful templates with drag-and-drop customization and branded looks.
Great when you want full control over layout and aesthetics.
You enter the content and design it yourself by hand.
Won't AI-generate worksheet problems from your PDFs or lecture notes.
Best for worksheets from your own material. Turns your PDF, Word, slides, spreadsheet, website, or topic into a worksheet.
Four styles — Practice Set, Mixed Review, Quiz + Key, and Blank — with optional answer keys.
Source-grounded questions, custom instructions, and language selection.
Free to start, downloads as a clean printable PDF, saved to your library.
What it does and doesn't do
Straight talk so you know exactly what you're getting before you generate.
Static PDF output
Worksheets are generated as static PDFs — you can't edit the AI-generated content directly in the interface afterward.
One style per generation
Each run produces one worksheet in one style; it doesn't auto-generate multiple variants or difficulty tiers at once.
Not standards-aligned
It grounds questions in your source, but it won't automatically map a worksheet to a specific curriculum or standard.
No images or collaboration
You can't add custom images or interactive elements to the PDF, and there's no real-time collaborative editing.
Frequently asked questions
What can I turn into a worksheet?
PDFs, Word documents (.doc, .docx), PowerPoint decks (.ppt, .pptx), text files (.txt, .md, .csv, and similar), spreadsheets (Excel, Google Sheets), Google Drive documents, or a website URL (a live page or an online PDF). You can combine up to 3 sources in one worksheet. No file? Just type a topic and Scholarly writes the worksheet from scratch.
How long does it take?
Most worksheets finish in a few minutes, depending on how much material you provide. Generation runs in the background, so you can close the browser and come back — the finished PDF will be waiting in your library.
What are the four worksheet styles?
Practice Set is a balanced set of problems with a full answer key. Mixed Review layers warm-ups, core problems, application questions, and a challenge section. Quiz + Key is an assessment-style worksheet with a matching answer key. Blank Worksheet shows problems only, with no visible answers — ideal as a student handout.
Do worksheets include an answer key?
The Practice Set, Mixed Review, and Quiz + Key styles include a worked answer key. The Blank Worksheet style deliberately leaves answers out so you can hand it to students. You can also use custom instructions to request worked solutions.
Can I control the question types or difficulty?
Yes. Use the custom instructions field to shape the worksheet — for example "include 50% application questions", "make it harder", "add more spacing between problems", or "add a short answer key". The AI follows your instructions while keeping every question grounded in your source.
Is the worksheet generator free?
Yes, it's free to start. The free plan includes a daily AI-creation quota that's shared across all of Scholarly's AI generators (flashcards, podcasts, slides, guides, and more). Ultimate raises your daily limits and unlocks AI model selection.
Can I print the worksheet?
Yes. The output is a clean, print-ready PDF. Download it and print it for class, or work through it on screen. It's also saved to your library as generated PDF content so you can download it again anytime.
Can I edit the worksheet after it's generated?
Worksheets are static PDFs, so you can't edit the AI-generated content directly in the interface. If it's not quite right, adjust your sources or custom instructions and generate again — most people just regenerate with a tweaked prompt.
What language can the worksheet be in?
You can choose the language when you set up the worksheet, so you're not limited to English. The questions and any answer key are generated in the language you select.
Does generating a worksheet count toward a limit?
Generating a worksheet counts toward your daily AI-creation quota, which is shared across all of Scholarly's AI generators — there's no separate worksheet-specific limit. Ultimate raises that daily quota.
