This free AI study guide generator turns your own material into a study guide.

Read it as a guide before the exam, print it, or press one button to turn the same material into flashcards or a quiz. No sign up and no card.
Give it your source
Paste your notes, a transcript, or an article, paste a YouTube link, upload a PDF, a doc, slides or an ebook, upload a photo of the page, or paste a link to a public web page. No account needed.

Why use this study guide generator
Follows your material
The guide is built from what you give it and keeps the order it was taught in, so it matches the course, not a generic outline.
Short enough for one sitting
Headings and bullet points, not a rewrite of the chapter. It is built for the night before the exam.
Flashcards and a quiz from the same source
One click turns the same notes, file, or video into a deck or practice questions. No second upload.
Notes, PDFs, slides, photos, videos
Pasted notes, a PDF, a PowerPoint deck, a photo of a textbook page, a web page, or a YouTube lecture with captions.
Who it's for
University students
Turn the slides and readings for one exam into a guide you can read through in an hour.
High school students
A chapter or a handout becomes a study guide without copying it by hand into a notebook.
Exam reviewees
Cut a long module down to what you need to remember, then quiz yourself on it.
Questions
How do I make a study guide?
Paste your notes, upload a PDF or a slide deck, or paste a YouTube link above, then press Make a study guide. The AI reads the material and writes each topic as a heading with the main points under it, in the same order as the source. Copy it, print it, or turn the same material into flashcards or a quiz.
What is in the study guide?
The topics of your material in order, each with its main points, key terms, and what you need to remember, short enough to read in one sitting before an exam. It is not a rewrite of the chapter.
Is the study guide only from my material?
Yes. It comes from the notes, file, or video you give it, not from the subject in general. If a topic is not in your source, it will not be in the guide.
What can I upload?
Typed or pasted notes, a PDF, a PowerPoint deck, a photo of a page, a public web page, or a YouTube video with captions. The free lane reads the first pages of a long PDF; a free account reads the whole file.
Can I get practice questions too?
Yes. After the study guide appears, press Quiz or Flashcards under it. Both are built from the same material with no second upload.
Is it free?
Yes, no account and no card. Sign up free to keep the study guide, the quiz, and the flashcards in one place and review them on a schedule before the exam.
