PDF to Anki FAQ

Can I import a PDF into Anki?

Anki does not convert a PDF file itself into a deck. This converter lets you choose the relevant pages, generate editable cards, and download a native APKG package for Anki.

How to make Anki flashcards from a PDF?

Upload a text-based PDF, preview it, select the pages or chapters you want, choose Basic or Cloze and a generation mode, then generate. Edit or delete cards before downloading the APKG deck.

Can I turn a PDF into flashcards?

Yes. Selected pages from a text-based PDF can be turned into editable flashcards with source-page references. Image-only scanned PDFs are not supported yet.

Do I need an account to generate cards?

You can upload, preview, and choose PDF content before signing in. An account is required when you start AI generation so usage can be protected and credited correctly.

Are PDF page references preserved?

Yes. Generated cards keep the source-page number returned from the selected PDF content so you can verify the answer against the original page.
