How it works
From PDF to flashcards in four steps
Upload a file, read it, turn what matters into flashcards, then let spaced repetition make it stick.
-
-
Read or skim it
A fast document viewer streams the file with selectable text, zoom and page navigation, on desktop or mobile.
-
Generate flashcards
Generate AI flashcards from the whole document, a page range, or a passage you select, with level and card-style controls and a live credit estimate.
-
Study with spaced repetition
The deck lands in your account like any other. Studying it is free and unlimited, scheduled by Lernoa's spaced-repetition engine.

Select text in the document to prefill a manual flashcard's back, write the question yourself, and save it free to a new or existing deck. No credits, no limit.
Frequently asked questions
What file types can I turn into flashcards?
PDF and DOCX files. Upload them to the Learning Center, where they are stored privately and organized by subject, ready to generate flashcards or a full AI course from at any time.
Can I generate flashcards from just part of a PDF?
Yes. Generate from the whole document, a specific page range, or a passage you select while reading, with level and card-style controls and a live credit estimate before you confirm.
Does turning a PDF into flashcards cost credits?
Uploading and reading your PDF is free, and so is studying the resulting flashcards. Your first complete AI deck is free (once per verified account) and further AI generation uses credits from a one-off pack (from NZ$3), because it is the part of Lernoa that costs real money to run.
Can I make flashcards from a PDF without AI?
Yes. Select any text in the document viewer to prefill the back of a manual flashcard, write the question yourself, and save it free to a new or existing deck. No credits involved.
Is my uploaded document private?
Yes. Documents you upload are private to your account, never shown to anyone else, and never used to train AI models. You can delete a file, or your whole account, at any time.
