Image to Flashcards FAQ

Can it read handwritten notes?

Yes, but with limitations. Clear, neat handwriting works reasonably well. Printed text or typed content gives the best results. Very cursive or messy handwriting may not be recognized accurately.

What image quality is needed?

Higher resolution images work better. Use good lighting, keep the camera steady, and ensure the text is in focus. Avoid shadows and glare on the page.

What image formats are supported?

We support PNG, JPG/JPEG, WEBP, and HEIC (iPhone photos). Each image can be up to 20MB.

What is FSRS spaced repetition?

FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler) is a modern algorithm that schedules reviews at optimal intervals for maximum retention with minimum study time.
