How Quizly Turns Documents into Active Flashcards
When you upload a course document, Quizly’s language model parses headings, bullet points, and highlighted terms to extract core concepts. Each concept becomes the front side of a flashcard, while the definition, example, or formula populates the back side. This transformation happens in seconds, offering a ready‑to‑study deck without the repetitive copy‑paste that traditional note‑taking demands.
The generated deck includes an optional hint that appears before you flip the card, prompting active recall. You can rate each card as unknown, partially known, or known, which feeds directly into the spaced‑repetition scheduler. The original PDF remains accessible beside the deck, so you can verify details without leaving the study interface.
Quiz Generation Powered by AI
Quizly’s quiz engine analyses the same uploaded document to craft questions that align with your curricular goals. You choose the number of items, difficulty level, and even a specific chapter to focus on. The AI then produces multiple‑choice, true/false, or matching questions, each accompanied by a concise explanation for immediate feedback.
During the quiz you can move freely between items, and answers are saved automatically. After submission, a detailed correction shows the correct answer, the reasoning behind it, and highlights the underlying concepts you may need to revisit. This loop of testing and feedback accelerates knowledge consolidation.

Student Feedback
I upload my semester PDFs and Quizly instantly gives me a deck of flashcards. I then tweak a few cards and the spaced‑repetition reminders keep me on track before finals.— Sophomore Biology student, Boston
Creating a quiz from my calculus notes took less than a minute. The explanations after each question helped me spot the chapters I still need to review.— Junior Engineering student, Chicago
The hint feature on flashcards forces me to recall the definition before flipping, which feels much more engaging than plain rereading.— Law student, San Francisco
