Frequently asked questions

student.study is a free AI flashcard and quiz generator. Below are straight answers about how it works, how accurate it is, its limits, and your privacy. Can't find yours? Email [email protected].

The basics

Is student.study free?

Yes. Creating sets and studying them is free, with no credit card and no paid plan. We plan to cover running costs with ads on some public pages, never inside the flashcard or quiz players.

Do I need an account?

Not to try the demo deck on the homepage. To generate your own sets you need a free account, which keeps your sets in one place and helps us keep the service free and abuse-free.

Who is student.study for?

Students of any age from 13 up, at school, college or university, and anyone learning for a professional exam or for fun. Sets can be pitched at any level from primary school to university.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. Cards flip with a tap, and on a keyboard with the space bar.

Making sets

How does the AI flashcard generator work?

Type a topic, paste your notes or upload a file, choose how many flashcards and quiz questions you want, and set your level, country and language if you like. The AI writes the set, a second check reviews every card and question, and the set opens ready to study.

How many flashcards and questions can I make?

Up to 50 flashcards and 30 quiz questions in one set, with at least 5 items in total. You can choose any mix, including all flashcards or all questions.

Can I make flashcards from my own notes?

Yes. Paste up to 20,000 characters of notes or upload a PDF, Word or text file, and the cards and questions are written from what is in them, so they match what your teacher actually covered.

Can I upload a PDF or document?

Yes. Upload a PDF, Word (.docx), text or Markdown file up to 10 MB and its text goes into your notes (the first 20,000 characters are used). The file itself isn't kept, only the text in your notes.

Does it work for my country, curriculum and language?

Yes. Set your level (from primary school to university and professional exams), your country and the language you want the set written in. Spelling, units and curriculum names follow your choices.

Is there a limit on how many sets I can make?

Yes, there is a daily limit per account. It is generous for normal studying and stops automated abuse, which is what keeps the site free.

Why was my topic refused?

We don't generate sets on sexual, hateful, violent, self-harm or illegal topics, or anything designed to cheat in a live exam. If you think a normal study topic was refused by mistake, tell us at [email protected].

Studying

What kinds of quiz questions are there?

Multiple choice with four options and exactly one right answer, true or false, and short answer, where you type the answer yourself (small typos in longer answers are forgiven). Every question comes with an explanation.

How do the flashcards work?

Flip a card with a tap or the space bar, then mark it "got it" or "still learning". At the end of a round you can go again on just the cards you missed.

Can I edit a set?

Yes. You can edit, add and delete cards and questions in your own sets, regenerate a single card or question (optionally saying what should change), and ask for more: up to 25 cards or 15 questions at a time.

Is there spaced repetition?

Yes. Review mode brings cards back just before you're likely to forget them, on a spaced-repetition schedule. Rate each card Again, Hard, Good or Easy and the next review moves sooner or later; your dashboard shows how many cards are due.

Are there streaks, XP or badges?

Yes. You earn XP for cards and correct answers, level up, build a daily streak (with a streak freeze earned every seven days, up to two banked) and unlock badges. Quiz combos multiply your XP.

Accuracy and safety

How accurate are the flashcards and quiz questions?

Every set goes through an accuracy check before you see it: items that look wrong are fixed or removed. When you paste notes, questions are built from your notes. AI can still make mistakes, so check anything that matters for an exam and use the report button if something looks off.

What should I do if a card is wrong?

Use the report button on the set page. We review reports and use them to fix problems and improve how sets are generated.

Can I use student.study in an exam?

No. It is for learning and revision. Using it during a live exam or assessment breaks our terms, and your school's rules on AI apply to you.

Will it write my essay or coursework?

No. student.study makes flashcards and quizzes to help you learn. It doesn't write essays, coursework or homework answers.

Privacy and your account

What happens to the notes I paste?

They are stored with your set so you can come back to it, and sent to our AI providers to write and check the set. We don't include your name or email in those requests. Don't paste other people's personal information.

Is student.study OK for under-13s?

You need to be at least 13 to create an account, or older where your country requires it.

How do I delete my account?

Email [email protected] from the address on your account and we will delete your account and everything in it within 30 days.
