PDF to flashcards
Turn any PDF into ready-to-study flashcards — free, unlimited, and without an account. This PDF to flashcards converter runs entirely in your browser: your file is read on your device and never uploaded anywhere. Your own Claude writes the cards, and you can go straight from PDF to Anki (.apkg) or save the deck to StudyCards.
Upload your PDF
Lecture slides, scripts, textbook chapters — the text is extracted right here in your browser.

Edit or trim the text before building your prompt — up to 24000 characters.

How it works
- Does my PDF get uploaded?
- No. The PDF is opened and read entirely on your device — the text extraction runs in your browser, the file never leaves it and our server never sees it. The only thing that leaves this page is the prompt you paste into claude.ai yourself.
- How do I convert a PDF to Anki flashcards?
- Upload your PDF, let the tool extract the text, and copy the generated prompt into your own Claude. Paste the reply back here and download your cards as an Anki .apkg file — a free PDF to Anki converter with no signup and no card limits.
- Does it work with scanned PDFs?
- Not yet — OCR isn’t supported. Scanned or photographed PDFs contain images instead of selectable text, so there is little or nothing to extract; the tool warns you when a PDF looks scanned. If you can select the text in your PDF reader, it will work here.
- Is it really free and unlimited?
- Yes. The tool uses the Claude account you already have (a free claude.ai account works), so we don’t meter or limit anything — no signup, no card caps, no trial. You can also save your cards to a free StudyCards account to study with spaced repetition.
