🔒 Your files are processed privately and deleted automatically. How we handle your data
Studying from a PDF means re-reading the same pages over and over. PDF.chat turns any document into question-and-answer flashcards automatically, so you can test yourself instead of just re-reading.
Each card is drawn from the document and cites its source page, so you always know where the answer comes from, and you can chat to clarify anything you get wrong.
