Turn any course PDF into flashcards

Handouts, slides exported as PDF, past papers: import the file and BrainCard handles the rest. The text is extracted, split into parts, and the AI writes cards faithful to the document, with the source page.

Long documents

A course can contain up to a million characters, several hundred pages. Each part is processed separately so nothing is missed.

Diagrams too

Pages with figures are read by the AI, which describes the diagrams and can turn them into cards or illustrated questions.

Checkable and editable

Each card shows the PDF page it comes from. You read, fix or delete before saving, then review with spaced repetition.

Frequently asked questions

Do scanned PDFs work?

Yes: image PDFs or photos of pages are read with text recognition, including legible handwriting.
