RepetoCapture material you cannot copy
Use a board after class, a printed textbook, a paper handout, or a mobile screenshot without manually transcribing every line first.
Image to flashcards · photo card generator
Turn a page, slide, or whiteboard photo into flashcards.
Add an image to the deck where you study it. Repeto reads the visible material, proposes focused cards, and keeps the result editable so you can correct anything the image or AI made unclear.

proposed concept card
What does the first law of thermodynamics conserve?
Energy.
Compare formulas and labels with the original image before study.
Can AI turn an image into flashcards?
Yes. Repeto can use photos of textbook pages, handwritten notes, whiteboards, presentation slides, diagrams, and screenshots as source material. It extracts what it can read and proposes cards for the selected deck. Because blur, handwriting, equations, and diagram labels can be misread, every draft should be checked against the image before review.

How it works
From source to scheduled review in four steps.
- 01
Capture a readable image
Use even lighting, keep the page flat, avoid glare, and include enough resolution to distinguish small text, subscripts, accents, and symbols.
- 02
Add it to the right deck
The deck provides subject and format context. A vocabulary image, biology diagram, and physics whiteboard need different questions and answer fields.
- 03
Inspect the extracted cards
Compare every proper name, number, equation, unit, label, and relationship with the original. Edit unclear prompts and remove anything the image did not support.
- 04
Study the approved result
Once accepted, cards enter the deck’s FSRS queue and return according to your recall history rather than remaining a screenshot you rarely reopen.
Why Repeto
Move visual material into an active review loop
Keep generation tied to the subject
Deck instructions tell Repeto whether the image should produce vocabulary, definitions, label questions, formula prompts, or another card structure.
Correct the imperfect parts
The proposed batch remains editable. If extraction misses a symbol or the card loses visual context, fix it, rewrite it, or discard it before it becomes part of your memory practice.
A closer look
Which images produce useful flashcards
Image quality and source structure affect both extraction and card quality. A clear crop plus careful verification saves more time than correcting a large noisy batch.
Text-heavy pages are the simplest source
Printed notes, slides, and textbook paragraphs with strong contrast usually provide the cleanest input. Crop unrelated margins and capture one logical section at a time so the generated questions remain connected to a clear topic.
Handwriting needs deliberate capture
Write legibly, photograph the page straight on, and avoid shadows crossing characters. Even a readable page can contain recognition errors, so treat the original notebook as the authority during batch review.
Diagrams need prompts that preserve meaning
A diagram may require the visual itself, a cropped region, or a label-masking workflow rather than a purely textual question. Do not accept a generated description if the spatial relationship is what you actually need to remember.
Equations and tables require extra checking
Subscripts, superscripts, signs, units, and column relationships are easy to misread. Verify every symbol and split wide tables into focused prompts instead of asking one card to reproduce an entire grid.
The difference
Image flashcards vs. keeping a camera roll of notes
A photo preserves the source. A flashcard asks you to retrieve a specific idea and returns when that memory needs practice.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I make flashcards from a picture of notes?
Yes. Upload a clear photo of the notes to the appropriate deck. Repeto proposes cards from the readable content, and you can correct or discard the drafts before studying.
Can Repeto make flashcards from handwritten notes?
Yes, but handwriting and image quality affect extraction. Use a sharp, evenly lit photo and verify all text, numbers, formulas, and names against the original page.
Can I turn a screenshot into flashcards?
Yes. Screenshots of slides, articles, diagrams, and other study material can be added as image sources. Crop unrelated interface elements when possible so the source stays focused.
Does image-to-flashcards work for diagrams and equations?
It can propose cards from visible labels and text, but diagrams and equations need careful verification. Preserve the image when spatial context matters, and check every symbol, unit, and relationship before approval.
