Aripsy turns a PDF into question-and-answer flashcards. Upload a chapter, handout or revision sheet, or paste a section, and our AI builds cards you can review and practise.
Use one chapter or handout. Aripsy reads selectable text, attempts OCR on scans, and can analyse eligible embedded images.
Sign in and upload a PDF up to 15MB; Free includes 1 successful upload. Or paste a section. Review the extracted study notes so your cards come from text you have checked.
Aripsy turns the reviewed notes into short question-and-answer cards.
Compare each card with your PDF. Leave out cards with missing or wrong details, especially formulas, tables, and diagrams, before practising.

Three common starting points
Upload one PDF lecture handout, review its captured content, and make cards for definitions and process steps.
Work through a focused chapter section and split broad prompts into one answerable idea per card.
Turn a checked exam revision PDF into recall prompts, then compare technical wording with the sheet and course guidance.
Prepare the file, review the captured text, and check each answer.
Start with your PDFA chapter extract, lecture handout, or revision sheet with clear headings gives you a manageable set of ideas to test. If your PDF mixes text with diagrams, check the captured notes for image details before creating cards.
Signed-in Free accounts can try 1 successful document upload across PDF, PowerPoint, and Word. After that, you can still paste a section of text on Free; ongoing document uploads up to 15MB are available on Pro.
Before studying, open the original page beside your cards. Look for missing units, reversed comparisons, and context that changes an answer. Keep each card short enough to answer without guessing what part of the PDF it refers to.
Learning evidence
Independent study guides suggest that recalling an answer before revealing a flashcard can support learning; they do not assess Aripsy.
