Turn any PDF into Anki cards.

How it works

What makes a good PDF for this tool?

The tool works best with text-heavy PDFs: lecture slides, textbook chapters, study guides, and clinical notes. It reads the raw text from the PDF, so scanned images without OCR won't produce readable cards.

Use the page range field to target a specific chapter instead of feeding the whole book. A focused 10–15 page range produces sharper, more testable cards than a 200-page upload where the tool has to guess what matters.

For medical and science PDFs, choose the Medical or Science domain in the generator. This adjusts the prompting to produce clinical stems, pathway-style cloze sequences, and board-style question formats rather than generic Q&A.

What card types are supported?

Basic — standard front-and-back cards. Good for definitions, cause-effect relationships, and comparisons.

Cloze — fill-in-the-blank cards using Anki's standard {{c1::answer}} format. Good for memorizing facts embedded in context — mechanism of action, anatomical associations, formula components.

Mixed — the generator chooses the best type for each fact.
