Flashcards from a topic, a PDF or a photo. Type what you want to learn and Flashcards.gg writes the set for you. Have your own material? Upload a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, or photograph your notes, and the cards are made from that. Then study with spaced repetition, on your iPhone, iPad or in the browser, with or without internet. Make cards three ways Describe a topic in one line, choose how many cards you want and what goes on each side, and the AI does the rest. Or start from a document (PDF, DOCX, PPTX) or from photos of textbook pages, handwritten notes or a whiteboard. You can also write cards yourself and let the AI fill in the back side. Study the way you like Learn uses spaced repetition (FSRS): it decides when each card comes back, so you review what is due and leave the rest for later. Test yourself by typing the answer or with a multiple-choice quiz. Browse, Random and View are there for a quick pass through a set. Cards can be read aloud with the voices installed on your device.
