PDF to Flashcards
Written From Your Own Pages
Start from a textbook chapter or a lecture handout: choose the topics, and Eduloo writes the deck for you. Every question comes from your PDF, and when a card cites it, Source opens the passage.
3.2 The Plasma Membrane
Every cell is wrapped in a plasma membrane that controls what enters and what leaves.
The membrane is a phospholipid bilayer: two layers of phospholipids, their water-loving heads facing out and their water-repelling tails facing in.
Figure 3.4: a phospholipid bilayer. The heads face the water on both sides.

Will It Read My PDF?
A chapter goes from textbook to flashcards in one upload. Eduloo reads the text of your PDF, and pages that are only pictures, like a scan from the library copier, are read with OCR first.
- Your language. The cards are written in the language you pick.
- One upload, every tool. The same PDF can go through the PDF summarizer for an outline or key terms, or, with an account, become a study podcast.

Check a Card Against Its Page
A card Eduloo writes can carry the passage it came from. On the answer side, Source opens that passage with its page, so you can check the card before you trust it.

What does cholesterol do in the plasma membrane? Answer It keeps the membrane's fluidity steady: less fluid when warm, less stiff when cold. Source
Source of This Question
bio-ch3.pdf Page 5
Cholesterol sits between the phospholipids. It keeps the membrane from turning too fluid in the warmth or too stiff in the cold.

How many sodium ions does the sodium-potassium pump move out per cycle? Answer Three sodium ions out for every two potassium ions in. Source

Does the cell spend energy on diffusion? Answer No. Molecules move down their concentration gradient on their own. Source
Source of This Question
bio-ch3.pdf Page 7
In diffusion, molecules move from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated, and the cell spends no energy on it.

Cards You Miss Come Back in Minutes
Rate each card after you see the answer. Cards you miss come back in minutes, and cards you know come back the next day or two, so a study session goes where you need it.
- Rate it after the answer. The time under each button is when you see the card next.
- Take the deck with you. Print it as a PDF sheet, or download it for Anki as an .apkg file. PDF to Anki shows what the file holds.
- Rather answer questions than flip cards? PDF to quiz turns the same chapter into a practice test with 10, 20, or 50 questions.
The page for Eduloo's AI flashcard maker covers the files this page doesn't: slides, Word notes, and photos.

PDF to Flashcards FAQ
Open Flashcards in Eduloo and upload your PDF. Choose the topics you want covered and the language for the cards, and Eduloo writes the deck from your pages. It makes as many cards as the material supports, and you can edit or delete any of them before you study.
Yes. As a guest you can upload a textbook chapter or a handout, pick its topics, and study the deck it becomes, with no account and no payment card. A free account keeps those decks, and paid plans add more generations.
The cards are written from the text of your PDF, so they follow what your course material says. A card that cites a passage shows it under Source of This Question, so you can check it against the page. Edit or delete any card that misses the point.
Yes. A chapter copied on the library scanner has no text layer, so Eduloo reads its pages with OCR before it writes the cards. Sharp printed pages give the best cards; notes written in the margins may not come through.
Each file can be up to 100 MB, and you can upload up to 20 files at once. For a whole textbook, split it into chapters and upload those.
Yes. Download any deck as an Anki .apkg file, with topics as subdecks, or print it and save it as a PDF. Your review history stays in Eduloo.
