Yes. Creating, importing, and studying your own flashcards is free with no limits, and so are practice quizzes written from your own decks (three a day). The free plan also turns your first two documents into flashcards or quizzes, at the same quality as the paid plans. Plus ($6.99 a month or $49 a year) and Pro ($12.99 a month or $89 a year) add 15 or 40 generations every month.

Yes. Pick “Quiz” instead of “Flashcards” to get a multiple-choice quiz from a subject, your notes, or a file, or press “Quiz me” on any deck. You get a score, the correct answers with explanations, and can redo it with reshuffled questions. Quizzes can be shared like decks.

Can it write a study guide?

Yes. Pick “Study guide” and name the unit, paste your notes or upload a file. You get the unit on one page: a mindmap, the ideas in order, a worked exam-style question and the mistake students make most. Print it, or turn it straight into flashcards or a quiz. Study guides are on the Plus and Pro plans; free unit guides for AP Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, MCAT, SAT and ACT are at quizcard.org/unit-guides.

What files can I turn into flashcards?

PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), plain text, and Markdown, up to 25 MB, or paste text directly. Charts and diagrams are kept on the cards when the source is a PDF.

How is Quizcard different from Quizlet or Anki?

Quizcard writes the cards for you from your own material and keeps the source document attached, with a reader, highlights, and a tutor that answers from those pages. Decks export to CSV and JSON, so you can still review in Anki if you prefer its scheduler.

Yes. Any deck can be published as a public page that others can study online or copy into their own account. Public decks are listed at quizcard.org/explore.

Does it work offline and on my phone?

Yes. The Android app is on Google Play, the iPhone app is coming soon, and on any phone Quizcard also installs straight from the browser. Decks you have opened stay available offline and changes sync when you are back online.

Your decks and files are private unless you choose to share a deck. You can export or delete everything at any time, and you can bring your own Anthropic API key if you prefer.

Comparison

Knowt vs Quizcard: which flashcard generator fits you?

Knowt and Quizcard both start from your material instead of a blank card. The differences are in what survives the conversion, what surrounds the deck, and what is free.

Side by side

Inputs. Both accept PDFs and notes. Quizcard also takes Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), text, and Markdown directly, and reads slides one per page.
Diagrams. Quizcard crops charts and figures from the PDF onto cards, so visual questions become real cards. Most generators, Knowt included, produce text cards.
Around the deck. Quizcard keeps the PDF attached with a reader, highlights, sticky notes, search across everything, folders, and a tutor that answers from your pages.
Sharing. Any Quizcard deck can be published as a public page that anyone can study or copy, listed at quizcard.org/explore.
Offline. Quizcard installs as an app and works without a connection.

Pricing

Knowt offers a free tier with limits on AI generations and a paid plan for more. Quizcard’s free plan includes unlimited manual decks and studying plus two generations; Plus ($6.99/month or $49/year) adds fifteen generations a month, Pro ($12.99/month or $89/year) adds forty with up to 150 pages read per document. Either tool lets you try generation before paying.

Who should pick which

If you mostly want quick text cards from typed notes and a familiar Quizlet-like study experience, Knowt is a reasonable pick. If your material is heavy on figures, formulas, and long PDFs, or you want the source attached and a tutor that reads it, Quizcard is built for that.

Questions

Can I move my Knowt flashcards to Quizcard?

Export them as CSV from Knowt and use Import cards in Quizcard; front and back map automatically.

Does Quizcard read slides?

Yes. Upload the .pptx directly; each slide counts as one page toward your plan’s limit.

Is there a limit on my own cards?
