Common questions
How do I convert a PDF to flashcards?
Upload your PDF and our AI automatically extracts key concepts, definitions, and important facts to create flashcards. You can review, edit, and start studying immediately.
What makes these flashcards 'smart'?
Unlike basic flashcards, our AI-generated cards include difficulty tags, hints, detailed explanations, and source citations. The spaced repetition algorithm adapts to your performance.
What is spaced repetition?
It's a study algorithm that shows you flashcards just before you forget them. Difficult cards appear more often, easy ones less. This maximizes long-term retention.
Can I export flashcards to Anki?
Yes. Pro users can export their flashcard decks to Anki format (.apkg). Generate flashcards quickly with Laxu AI and study with Anki if you prefer.
Do I get free uploads?
Yes. Free accounts get 1 upload to try all features. You can also create flashcards manually with no limit. Pro starts at $1.99/week for unlimited uploads.
Can I add my own flashcards manually?
Yes! While AI generates cards automatically, you can also add, edit, or delete cards manually. This lets you customize your deck with your own questions or fill in gaps the AI might have missed.
Can I shuffle the flashcard order?
Yes. Use the shuffle button during study sessions to randomize card order. This prevents you from memorizing cards by position and improves true recall.
