AI flashcard maker
Make flashcards from the material your exam is actually written from. Drop in your slides or notes: you start with a 5-question quiz from them, and your free starter pack adds a deck of flashcards from the same lecture.
Beta-blockers. Cardioselective agents such as metoprolol and atenolol act mainly on β1 receptors. Non-selective agents such as propranolol block β1 and β2. β2 blockade in the airways can cause bronchospasm.
A patient with asthma needs a beta-blocker. Why would propranolol be a poor choice?
- It also blocks β2 receptors in the airways, which can cause bronchospasm
- It acts only on β1 receptors
- It is a cardioselective agent
We wrote this example to show the format. Your questions come from your own file.
How to use the AI flashcard maker
- 1 Choose your slides or notes, or drop them on the box above.
- 2 Answer a few quick questions about your course and your exam date.
- 3 Take a 5-question quiz, then review the flashcards written from the same lecture.
What makes a good flashcard
One fact per card, asked so you have to recall it rather than recognise it. "What do beta-blockers do?" invites a vague answer; "Which receptor does metoprolol mainly block?" has one. Long backs with several facts are hard to grade honestly, so split them.
| Weak card | Better card |
|---|---|
| Mitochondria? | Where in the cell does oxidative phosphorylation happen? |
| Causes of shock | Which type of shock follows a severe allergic reaction? |
| Krebs cycle (whole cycle on the back) | Which Krebs cycle enzyme makes succinyl-CoA? |
Cards from your course, not someone else’s
Public decks are written for someone else’s lecturer. Cards made from your own slides use your course’s terms and emphasis, and each card in Quizard links to the slide it came from, so you can check it in a click.
Spaced review that ends on exam day
Reviewing a card just as you are about to forget it is one of the best-studied ways to remember it. Quizard schedules your cards against your exam date, so the gaps fit the time you have instead of stretching past the exam.

AI flashcard maker FAQ
Is the AI flashcard maker free?
Yes. Your first lecture is free with no account, and the free plan then writes from 50 pages a month. Reviewing and exporting your cards is always free.
Can I export the flashcards to Anki?
Yes. Every deck exports to Anki or CSV on every plan.
Can it make flashcards from handwritten notes?
Yes, from a clear photo or scan of your notes. The text is read with OCR first, so very messy handwriting may come out with gaps.
How is this different from Quizlet?
Quizlet is built around decks people type or share. Quizard writes cards and practice questions from your own lecture files, links each one to its source and schedules reviews to your exam date. You can also bring a Quizlet export across with our free Quizlet to Anki tool.
Can I edit the cards?
Yes. You can edit or delete any card, and anything Quizard could not match to your file stays out of review until you fix it.
