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.

A flashcard study plan for the AP Art History

Weeks 1 to 2: build the identification deck. One card per required work: image on the front; title, artist or culture, date, materials and one sentence of context on the back. Study the movements deck for the big picture.
Weeks 3 to 4: add a second card per work for function and meaning: who commissioned it, who saw it, what it was for.
Weeks 5 to 6: comparison cards. Front: two works. Back: one shared theme and one difference, the structure the long essays want.
Week 7: upload your class slides or textbook chapters and generate decks for the content areas you are weakest in; do one released free-response set a week.
Week 8: one timed multiple-choice section, then only the “missed” deck in the final days.

How to write AP Art History cards that work

Four facts per card, always in the same order: title, maker, date, materials. The multiple-choice section asks for all four.
Card vocabulary separately (contrapposto, impasto, mandala, iconoclasm) with the work that best illustrates each.
For the long essays, card the attribution reasoning: which features let you assign an unknown work to a culture or period.
Use Quizcard’s image cards: a crop of the work on the front is what the exam shows you.
