Stop typing. Start memorizing.
You are evaluated on what you know, not how fast you can copy-paste.
Dump your entire semester in.
Drag every dense PDF, slide deck, or scanned handout into the engine. No cherry-picking required.
Tell it what matters to you.
Prioritise definitions, key facts, deep concepts, or go fully comprehensive. You decide what the engine focuses on.
Double-click. Import. Study.
Download a .apkg file and open it — Anki imports it automatically. Zero formatting. Zero setup.
High-yield facts.
Zero manual labor.
Top students know Anki works. Spaced repetition and active recall are clinically proven to outperform passive re-reading by a significant margin.
The problem was never the method — it was the hours of manual card-creation before you could even start studying. That is precisely what we eliminated.
Retention Without Active Recall
Built for the way you actually study.
Every feature exists because we asked: what wastes a medical student’s time?
High-Yield Extraction
The engine identifies testable facts — core concepts, complex formulas, critical details — not just surface-level keywords.
Dense Text Processing
Built for the worst offenders: 80-page textbook chapters, complex research papers, and comprehensive slide decks.
Instant Anki Import
Download a .apkg file. Double-click. It’s in Anki. No plugins, no copy-pasting, no re-formatting.
Cloze Deletions
Generate fill-in-the-blank cards — the format most medical students prefer for active recall of definitions and pathways.
Batch Upload
Upload an entire module at once. The engine processes every file and outputs a single, unified deck.
Depth Control
Exam in three days? Use Summary mode. Study week with nothing else on? Go fully Comprehensive.
Your Notes Stay Yours
Files are deleted from our servers the instant your deck is generated. Never stored. Never used for training.
Text & Image Extraction
Upload PDFs, PPTs, or images. We extract high-yield text AND natively embed crucial diagrams directly into your Anki cards.
From students who switched
Real results. Real students.
Made 180 anatomy cards from a 45-page PDF in under 90 seconds. Saved me an entire Sunday before clinicals.
I used to spend 3 hours making Anki cards for one lecture. Now it takes 2 minutes. This is genuinely the most useful study tool I've found.
Uploaded my entire biochem module — 200+ slides — and had a complete deck ready before my coffee finished brewing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from pasting my notes into an AI Chatbot?
General-purpose chat tools give you a conversation you have to copy from manually. notes2cards gives you a structured, importable .apkg deck — formatted precisely for Anki's spaced-repetition algorithm, with cloze deletions, proper front/back splits, and depth control. You double-click the file and it's in Anki, ready to review.
Will it just generate garbage, low-quality cards?
The extraction engine is tuned specifically for high-yield academic content — anatomy, pharmacology, case law, vocabulary — not generic summarisation. You can control depth from quick summary to fully exhaustive coverage. You review and import; nothing goes into Anki without your sign-off.
What kind of files can I upload?
PDFs (lecture slides, textbook chapters, past papers), images (PNG, JPG — scanned notes, handouts), and PowerPoint files (PPTX). If you study from it, you can upload it.
How much can I process on the free plan?
Free users get 40 pages per month — that's 40 PDF pages, slides, or images. Paid plans unlock 600–800 pages per month with higher per-file limits. One page = one PDF page, one slide, or one image.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel from your account settings in one click. No lock-in periods, no cancellation fees, no awkward calls with a retention team. The free plan stays free forever with no expiry.
Is my material safe? Will it be used for training?
Your files are sent to our processing engine and deleted immediately after your deck is generated — typically within seconds. We never store file content and never use it to train any model. Your notes are yours.
