Yes. Creating, importing, and studying your own flashcards is free with no limits, and so are practice quizzes written from your own decks (three a day). The free plan also turns your first two documents into flashcards or quizzes, at the same quality as the paid plans. Plus ($6.99 a month or $49 a year) and Pro ($12.99 a month or $89 a year) add 15 or 40 generations every month.

Yes. Pick “Quiz” instead of “Flashcards” to get a multiple-choice quiz from a subject, your notes, or a file, or press “Quiz me” on any deck. You get a score, the correct answers with explanations, and can redo it with reshuffled questions. Quizzes can be shared like decks.

Can it write a study guide?

Yes. Pick “Study guide” and name the unit, paste your notes or upload a file. You get the unit on one page: a mindmap, the ideas in order, a worked exam-style question and the mistake students make most. Print it, or turn it straight into flashcards or a quiz. Study guides are on the Plus and Pro plans; free unit guides for AP Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, MCAT, SAT and ACT are at quizcard.org/unit-guides.

What files can I turn into flashcards?

PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), plain text, and Markdown, up to 25 MB, or paste text directly. Charts and diagrams are kept on the cards when the source is a PDF.

How is Quizcard different from Quizlet or Anki?

Quizcard writes the cards for you from your own material and keeps the source document attached, with a reader, highlights, and a tutor that answers from those pages. Decks export to CSV and JSON, so you can still review in Anki if you prefer its scheduler.

Yes. Any deck can be published as a public page that others can study online or copy into their own account. Public decks are listed at quizcard.org/explore.

Does it work offline and on my phone?

Yes. The Android app is on Google Play, the iPhone app is coming soon, and on any phone Quizcard also installs straight from the browser. Decks you have opened stay available offline and changes sync when you are back online.

Your decks and files are private unless you choose to share a deck. You can export or delete everything at any time, and you can bring your own Anthropic API key if you prefer.

Guide

Turn your notes, a PDF or any subject into a practice quiz

Flashcards build recall; a quiz tells you whether it worked. Quizcard writes multiple-choice questions the way an exam asks them, scores you at the end, and explains every answer, including why the tempting wrong option is wrong. Quizzes from your own decks are free on every plan.

Three ways to make a quiz

From a subject. On the home page pick Quiz next to the prompt box and type what you are studying, for example “NCLEX pharmacology: anticoagulants” or “AP Biology: cell membrane transport”. The quiz is written from what that course tests.
From your notes or a file. Paste the notes or upload the PDF, Word document or slides. The questions come from your material, so they match what your exam will actually cover.
From a deck you already have. Open any deck and press Quiz me. The questions test the same facts from new angles instead of repeating the card fronts. This one is free, as many times as you like.

What you get

Ten to thirty questions with four options each and one correct answer. Distractors are the mistakes students actually make, never “all of the above”.
A score at the end and the full answer key: your pick, the right answer, and a short explanation for every question.
Redo quiz reshuffles the question order and the option order, so a second run tests recall rather than the position of the right answer. Your best and last scores are kept.
New questions rewrites the quiz on the same material when you have learned the first set.
A share link. Anyone can take a shared quiz without an account; signed-in classmates can save it to their own quizzes.

How to study with it

Make the deck first and study it once. Then press Quiz me. A first score below 70% means the cards have not stuck yet; read the explanations and study the deck again.
Redo the quiz the next day. The reshuffle makes it a real retest. Aim for two runs above 85% a day apart before moving on.
Before the exam, ask for New questions on your weakest decks. Different questions on the same material are the closest thing to the real test.
Share the quiz with your study group. Comparing which questions everyone misses shows what the whole class misunderstood.

Ready-made practice quizzes

Every exam hub carries free public quizzes written from its decks: NCLEX-RN, MCAT, SAT, coding interviews, CFA Level I, AP Biology, nursing pharmacology and more. Open a hub and look for “Test yourself”. No account needed to take one.

Questions

Is the quiz generator free?

Quizzes written from a deck you already have are free on every plan, up to a daily cap. A quiz written from a file, pasted notes or a subject counts as one generation, the same as a flashcard deck: two are included free, then 15 or 40 a month on the paid plans.

Does it work for the NCLEX, MCAT, AP exams or the CFA?

Yes. Name the exam and topic and the questions follow that exam’s style: client scenarios for the NCLEX, passage-style reasoning for the MCAT, calculation and definition items for the CFA. The exam hubs have free public quizzes to try first.

Can I see the correct answers?

After you finish. Every question shows your pick, the correct option and an explanation. The answers are not sent to your browser until you submit, so you cannot peek by accident.

Can I share a quiz with my class?

Yes. Publish it from the quiz page and send the link. Classmates take it without an account; their scores are private to them. Signed-in users can save the quiz to their own account and redo it.

How is this different from Quizlet’s Test mode?

Quizlet builds its test from your existing cards, so it can only ask what you typed. Quizcard writes new questions from the material itself, with explanations, and can quiz you on a PDF or a subject you have no cards for yet.
