Paperclips is an AI flashcard generator that converts course notes, PDFs, and web content into structured study cards. The tool has been available since 2023 as a web app at paperclips.app, with a companion Chrome extension called Paperclips Copilot that lets users highlight text on any page and generate a flashcard from the selection.
Rather than requiring manual card writing, Paperclips reads uploaded notes or highlighted web text and produces question-and-answer or cloze-deletion cards automatically, detecting the source language and generating cards in that same language. Finished decks export to Anki, Quizlet, CSV, or PDF, so the tool sits alongside existing study workflows instead of replacing them.
Paperclips suits students, language learners, and self-directed professionals who read more material than they have time to convert into flashcards by hand. A free plan covers basic use, and paid plans start at $4.99 per month for unlimited PDFs and flashcards, with discounted 4-month and annual options.
