How to use PDF to Anki

A complete walkthrough of the current PDF and ebook workflow, from choosing source content to downloading a clean Anki deck.

  1. 1

    Upload a supported source

    Choose a text-based PDF or DRM-free EPUB, MOBI, or AZW3 file up to 500 MB. For large books, use a desktop browser because opening and extracting can require several times the file size in memory.

  2. 2

    Preview and choose what to study

    Open the document workspace, preview PDF pages or ebook sections, select embedded chapters, or add a manual source range. Long books are never generated from random sections.

  3. 3

    Review skipped pages

    Blank, contents, and common copyright pages are filtered from generation. Check the skipped-page list if you want to verify what was excluded.

  4. 4

    Choose the card settings

    Select Basic or Cloze, choose Concise, Detailed, or Exam-focused generation, set the target card count, and choose the output language.

  5. 5

    Sign in and generate

    You can preview and select content before signing in. Sign in only when you generate so the request can be protected and charged to the correct credit balance.

  6. 6

    Edit and verify the deck

    Review every front and back field, reopen the exact source page or ebook section without an AI charge, rewrite weak wording, and delete cards you do not want.

  7. 7

    Study or export to Anki

    Use the built-in flashcard review if you want a quick check, then download the native APKG package and import it into Anki.

Before you generate

Choose only the pages or chapters you actually want to study. If the selection is too large, split it into smaller ranges.
Use Concise for atomic recall, Detailed for richer explanations, and Exam-focused when the source is test-oriented.
Choose the card count before generating. The app shows the maximum credit cost first, and every card links back to its source.
Image-only scanned PDFs are not supported yet because the current workflow does not include OCR.
