The free tool makes a quick preview, not the full course. Sign in and heystudy reads the whole file, splits it into short units and builds a learning path you can follow up to exam day.

PDF to flashcards: common questions
Is it free to turn a PDF into flashcards?
Yes. Your first try is free without an account: the tool above makes a preview of about 10 flashcards from your PDF. After that, sign in to get the full course from your PDF.
Which files can I upload?
PDF, PowerPoint (PPTX) and Word (DOCX) files up to 25 MB. The file needs selectable text, which most typed slides and notes have.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Not yet. A scanned PDF is a picture of the page, so there is no text to read.
Do I need an account?
Not for your first preview. To make more and get a full course from your file, sign up for free.
Can I export the flashcards to Anki or Quizlet?
Not at the moment. Your flashcards live in heystudy, next to the notes and quizzes for the same unit.
