FAQ
How do I turn a PDF into flashcards?
Sign up for a free Cardemio account, drop your PDF into the upload panel, pick a deck type (Learning, Quiz, or Exam), and Cardemio writes the flashcards for you.
Is Cardemio free?
Yes. The free plan lets you create your first decks with no credit card. Paid plans unlock more decks, longer PDFs, and advanced features.
What kinds of PDFs work best?
Text-based PDFs like lecture notes, textbook chapters, slide decks, and research papers give the best results. Scanned image-only PDFs are less reliable.
Can I edit the flashcards after generation?
Yes. Every card is editable. Rewrite the question, tweak the answer, add images or voice notes, and highlight what matters.
