AI flashcard generator
Turn a topic, your notes or a PDF into flashcards with AI
Type what you want to study, or point Lernoa at a document you already have, and get a ready-to-study deck in seconds: choose the level, the card style and how many cards you need. Studying the result is free and unlimited forever; credits only pay for the generation itself.
Three ways to get flashcards
Generate from a topic
Type a topic and a short description. Pick a level, a card style (basic, concept or interview), how many cards, and the language, then confirm against a live credit estimate.
Generate from a PDF or DOCX
Upload lecture slides or a textbook chapter to the Learning Center, then generate flashcards from the whole document, a page range, or just your highlights.
Generate from a course passage
Studying a Lernoa AI course, highlight any passage and turn it into flashcards in one click, straight into a new or existing deck.
Free to study, credits only for generation
Studying any deck, however it was created, is free and unlimited: the full spaced-repetition engine, every study mode, progress stats, cross-device sync, and Anki and CSV import and export never spend a credit. The manual deck builder is free too, including a card designer for images and rich text.
AI generation is the one feature that costs real money to run, so it is the one feature credits pay for. Packs start at NZ$3 for 15 credits and never expire; there is no subscription, and new accounts get 5 free credits to try it.
What makes a good AI-generated deck
- Clear, single-fact question-and-answer cards at the level you choose.
- A choice of basic, concept or interview-style cards depending on how you plan to study.
- Generated in nearly thirty languages, so you can study in the one you think in.
- Fully editable afterwards. AI is a fast starting point, not the final word.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Lernoa AI flashcard generator work?
Type a topic and a short description, or point it at a document you have already uploaded to the Learning Center. Choose a level, a card style (basic, concept or interview) and how many cards you want, in any of nearly thirty languages, and Lernoa generates a ready-to-study deck in seconds. A live credit estimate is shown before you confirm.
Does generating flashcards cost anything?
Generating a deck with AI uses credits from a one-off pack (from NZ$3), because it is the one part of Lernoa that costs real money to run. Studying the deck afterwards, including the full spaced-repetition engine, is free and unlimited forever. New accounts start with 5 free credits.
Can I generate flashcards from my own PDF or DOCX file?
Yes. Upload a PDF or DOCX to the Learning Center, then generate AI flashcards from the whole document, a page range, or just a highlighted selection, with the same level and card-style controls and a live credit estimate.
Can I make flashcards without using AI or credits?
Yes. The manual deck builder is completely free and unlimited: type cards by hand, style them with images and rich text, or select any passage in a document or course to prefill a card for you to finish. You can also import existing decks from Anki or CSV.
What happens to the flashcards after they are generated?
They become an ordinary Lernoa deck: yours to edit, reorder, export, or delete. Studying them uses Lernoa's spaced-repetition engine, which schedules each card for just before you would forget it, for free, with no daily study limit.
