From slide deck to flashcards in three steps

1

Export your slides as a PDF

PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides all export to PDF in one click. If your professor already shares PDFs, skip straight to upload.

2

Bananote writes the cards

Upload the PDF and the deck's key terms, definitions, and concepts become question-and-answer cards automatically.

3

Review before the exam does

Flip through your deck, take a scored quiz on the same slides, and let spaced repetition schedule what to review next.

Why turn slides into flashcards

Study what's actually on the exam

Slide decks are the professor's own outline of what matters. Cards built from them target the exact material they chose to project.

From shared deck to study deck in seconds

When the deck goes up after class, your flashcards can exist before dinner. No reformatting, no retyping, no Sunday spent making cards.

Cover what the slides only imply

Upload the lecture recording too. Cards from the audio capture the spoken explanation behind each bullet, and everything stays in the same class folder.

Works on scanned and photographed slides

Handouts and photographed decks work too, and the iPhone and iPad app can scan printed slides with the camera.

Slides to flashcards questions

How do I turn slides into flashcards?
Export the deck as a PDF from PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides, then upload the PDF. Bananote generates a flashcard deck from the slides automatically.
What file formats work for slide decks?
PDFs. Export your deck from PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides as a PDF, which takes one click, and upload that. Many professors share slides as PDFs already, and those upload directly.
Is it free to turn slides into flashcards?
Free to try. No credit card required. Upload your first deck and get the cards in seconds.
Can I get a summary of the slides too?
Yes. Every uploaded deck becomes structured notes and a summary first, and flashcards, quizzes, and chat all build on top of that.
Do scanned slides and handouts work?
Yes. Bananote reads scanned pages, and on iPhone and iPad you can scan printed handouts with the camera and turn them into cards.
