- Do I need an account to make a quiz?
- No. The first quiz runs without signing up. You need a free account to save a quiz, share it by link, study it as flashcards or keep your results.
- How many questions can I generate from one PDF?
- The demo without an account writes 5 questions. A free account makes 10-question quizzes from the first 5 pages of a document. Paid plans let you set the number yourself: up to 300 questions per quiz on Plus, 500 on Pro and 1,000 on Elite.
- What question types can it create?

- The quiz is written in the language of your document. On paid plans you can pick a different output language from a list of more than 180. The site itself is available in 28 languages, including Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Turkish and Arabic.
- How does the flashcard maker work?
- Upload a PDF, a Word file, slides, notes or a photo of a page. The AI reads the document and writes questions from it, and each question becomes a card: the question on the front, the answer and a short explanation on the back. You open the set in the flashcard view, flip through the cards and mark each one as known or as needing review.
- Can I make flashcards from a PDF without an account?
- The generator on this page builds a 5-question set from any document without an account. To open the set as flashcards, keep it and come back to it later, you need a free account.

- The first set is free and needs no account. On a free account you can open every set you make as flashcards and study the first three cards of each one; the full set and the Anki export are part of the paid plans, which start at $5 a month billed yearly.
- What is on the back of each card?
- The correct answer and a short explanation of why it is correct, written from the passage in your document the question came from. For open-ended questions the model answer itself is on the back.
- Can I export the flashcards to Anki?
- Yes. Paid plans can export any set as a tab separated file that Anki imports as a deck, with the question as the front and the answer and explanation as the back. Spaced repetition then runs in Anki. The Anki flashcard generator page explains the import step by step.
