An Anki card generator that cites its sources.
Choose a chapter, slide deck, web page or video. Use Clozely to generate cloze cards with each one painted onto the source as a highlight. One click of the card takes you to your source – scrolled directly to the passage the card came from. Review each card, then send them to Anki with one click.

Questions, answered
Can it generate Anki cards from a PDF?
Yes. Open the PDF and choose to generate from the full document, a page range, a text selection, or a table. The generator drafts cloze cards and links each one to its source sentence, so you can check it in one click.
Is there a free Anki card generator in the trial?
Yes. The free 7-day trial includes AI drafting as well as the full manual workflow. After the trial, the card generator is available with a Clozely AI plan.
How is this different from pasting a chapter into an AI chatbot?
With an AI chatbot, you still have to spend time manually finding where each card came from in the source. And even then, there is very often hallucinated incorrect information. After fixing it, you have to download the file, open Anki, and import the cards manually.
Clozely works within the document itself, with each card painted onto the source as a highlight – making it very quick and easy to verify each card's accuracy before sending to Anki with one click.
Do generated cards go into my existing decks?
Yes. Choose from a list of your existing decks and tags in Anki, or choose to create a new deck or tag. Then approve the drafts you want, and send them to Anki with one click.
Try it on whatever you're studying.
The full app is free for 7 days, with no credit card required. AI drafting is included in the trial.
