How do I create flashcards from a Word document?

Upload your DOCX. The AI reads the document, pulls out the key facts, and writes the flashcards for you. Choose a card style and how many cards to generate, then download a printable PDF or export to Anki, Quizlet, or CSV. It takes seconds and needs no sign-up.

Can I make flashcards from a PDF or PowerPoint instead?

Yes. Use our Create Flashcards from PDF or Create Flashcards from PowerPoint tools. They work the same way. There is also a paste-a-topic AI flashcard generator.

Can I export the flashcards to Anki or Quizlet?

Yes. You can export any deck to Anki (.apkg), Quizlet (tab-separated import), and a universal CSV that also works with StudyBlue and Excel.

Can I print the flashcards?

Yes. The default output is a printable PDF of double-sided cut-out cards, so you can study offline. You can also choose a foldable layout that prints on one page: cut each card out and fold it along the dashed line.

What types of flashcards can it make?

Question & Answer, term-definition, and cloze (fill-in-the-blank), or a mix. Pick the style that fits how you study before you generate.

Is the AI flashcard generator free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no account required and no watermarks.

What Word formats are supported?

Modern Word documents in .docx format, up to 50 MB per file.

How many flashcards can I generate?

Up to 50 cards per deck. If your source does not hold enough distinct material for the number you asked for, you get as many strong cards as the content supports.
