About CardifyAI

1. Using the CardifyAI Dashboard

The dashboard is the core of CardifyAI. You’ll use it to turn your raw study or training material into clean, exportable flashcards — whether you’re on the Free plan (40 cards/day) or upgraded to Unlimited for no limits, Branch Mode, Chrome extension access, and no ads.

Step 1 · Open the Dashboard

1. Go to the CardifyAI website and sign in with Google or email to access your dashboard experience. Your plan determines your daily limit and advanced features:
   • Free: 40 cards/day, image uploads included
   • Unlimited ($7.99/month): unlimited flashcards, Branch Mode, Chrome extension, and no ads
2. Click Dashboard in the top navigation bar.
3. You’ll see the Source Text box, PDF upload field, card count input, and (if you’re on Unlimited) the Branch mode toggle.

Step 2 · Add your study material

1. Option A – Paste text:
   Copy your lecture notes, textbook paragraphs, training documents, or high-yield bullets and paste them into the Source Text box.
2. Option B – Upload a PDF:
   Click the Upload a PDF field and select your slides or handouts. If you also pasted text, CardifyAI will combine both.
3. In the Number of Base Cards field, enter how many flashcards you’d like (for example, 25, 50, or 100). This is the count of the main “base” cards the AI will generate directly from your content.
4. Optional (Unlimited plan): turn on Branch mode to have CardifyAI generate deeper “branch” cards off each base card, using the parent Q/A as context. Branch Mode is ideal when you want extra depth, better coverage, and more connections between concepts.

Step 3 · Generate, edit, add images, and preview your deck

1. Click the Generate Flashcards button.
2. A short loading message will appear while CardifyAI processes your content.
3. After generation, scroll down to the Preview section to review each front (question) and back (answer).
4. If Branch Mode is enabled (Unlimited plan), you’ll see additional deeper cards related to each topic. These are tagged with a small “B” badge in the UI so you can spot them quickly; this tag is not included in exported files.
5. You can remove individual cards from the preview with the Remove button. Removed cards will not be included in any exports.
6. On both Free and Unlimited plans, you’ll also see an Upload Image option next to each card. You can:
   • Choose whether the image appears on the front or back of the card.
   • Upload diagrams, figures, charts, screenshots, or any visual aid that clarifies the concept.
   • CardifyAI automatically formats and sizes the image to fit the flashcard area in external apps without overlapping the text, while still leaving room for the written content.
7. Once you’re happy with the cards and images, you’re ready to download your deck and import it into your flashcard platform.

2. Using the CardifyAI Chrome Extension (Unlimited)

The extension lets you highlight text anywhere on the web and instantly send it into CardifyAI without leaving the page. It’s included with the Unlimited plan and is built to make capturing content frictionless — so you can spend your time reviewing, not copying and formatting.

Step 1 · Install the extension, highlight text, and send it to CardifyAI

1. Upgrade to Unlimited, then sign in on the CardifyAI website and open the Dashboard.
2. Install the CardifyAI extension from the Chrome Web Store: Chrome Web Store listing .
3. In your browser, complete the installation and (optionally) pin the CardifyAI extension icon so it’s easy to click.
4. Navigate to any article, browser-rendered PDF, or online notes.
5. Use your mouse to highlight the text you want to study.
6. Click the CardifyAI extension icon (or use the right-click context menu option). If you’re not signed in, you’ll be redirected to the login page before continuing.
7. When prompted, choose how many flashcards you want to generate (for example, 20) and confirm. Unlimited users can generate without daily limits.
8. The extension opens your CardifyAI Dashboard with the text and requested card count already filled in. CardifyAI then generates the flashcards.
9. Scroll down to preview the deck, remove any cards you don’t want, add images, and then export your deck.

3. Exporting & Importing into Your Flashcard App

Once you like your deck (after removing any cards you don’t want and adding images), you can export it and import it into your preferred flashcard platform — including Anki, Quizlet, Brainscape, Knowt, RemNote, and any app that supports CSV or JSON.

Step 1 · Name your deck, export from CardifyAI, and import into your flashcard app

1. On the Dashboard, scroll to the Preview and Download Deck section.
2. Make any final edits by using the Remove button beside cards you don’t want. The exported deck will only include the remaining cards and any images you’ve attached.
3. Click one of the download buttons. You’ll be prompted to name your deck file (no extension needed); CardifyAI automatically appends .apkg, .csv, or .json depending on the format you choose.
4. Choose your preferred format:
   • Anki (.apkg) – best for direct Anki use, with images embedded.
   • CSV – best for Quizlet and most other flashcard platforms that support spreadsheet imports.
   • JSON – ideal for custom tooling, automation, or advanced workflows.
5. Click the download button and save the file to a folder you can easily find.
6. Open your flashcard platform (Anki, Quizlet, Brainscape, Knowt, RemNote, etc.).
7. Use the platform’s Import option and select the file you downloaded from CardifyAI.
8. Your cards (and any attached images) will appear inside your flashcard app, ready for review and spaced repetition.

Important: CardifyAI itself does not store decks long-term; import your export into your flashcard platform to save, organize, and review over time.

Why Not Just Use Quizlet?

Quizlet and other flashcard platforms are excellent for studying. The challenge isn’t reviewing flashcards, it’s creating enough high-quality cards quickly.

Manually turning lectures, textbooks, slides, or training documents into flashcards can take hours: deciding what matters, writing questions, typing answers, organizing concepts, and attaching images. That time adds up fast during exam season or when you’re learning something new.

CardifyAI solves that bottleneck. You bring the material — CardifyAI generates a structured deck in seconds, then you export it into the platform you already use.

• Paste notes or upload PDFs
• Generate clean flashcards instantly
• Export into Quizlet, Anki, Brainscape, Knowt, RemNote, or any CSV-compatible tool

CardifyAI doesn’t replace your flashcard app - it accelerates it, so you can spend your time reviewing.

4. Subscription Plans

CardifyAI keeps pricing simple: one generous free plan and one Unlimited plan for students and professionals who want full power, deeper learning features, and a clean ad-free experience.

Unlimited removes daily limits, unlocks Branch Mode for deeper learning, includes Chrome extension access, and disables ads for a cleaner workflow.
