Can I make flashcards from PDFs?

Yes. Summarize the PDF first (scans supported via OCR), then send the summary to Flashcards.

What card types work best?

Begin with Term→Definition and Question→Answer cards to cover the basics and encourage active recall. You can also add your own custom cards as needed.

How many cards should I create?

Focus on quality over quantity. 20–40 well‑chosen cards per chapter is a good benchmark.

How do I avoid confusing cards?

Keep one fact per card, avoid negatives, and prefer plain language.
