Free AI PDF to Notes Converter
Knomi Notes turns a PDF into structured study notes in about a minute: a short summary on top, then clean sections with the key terms pulled out. It reads textbook chapters, lecture handouts, readings and scanned pages up to 60 pages each, and it is free with no paid plan.
Add material: upload a file, paste a link, record, or paste text.
How it works
Upload the PDF
Drop in a PDF of up to 60 pages (20 MB). Add up to 8 files to one note, such as the chapter and the lecture slides.
Watch the notes appear
A summary first, then sections written as you watch, with definitions and formulas set apart.
Study from them
One click turns the note into flashcards with spaced repetition, a quiz marked as you go, or a timed practice test.
Who it's for
High school students
A textbook chapter or a teacher's handout, turned into notes you can revise from the night before a test.
University students
Long readings and lecture PDFs condensed into sections you can actually get through.
Anyone with a deadline
Exam season, a certification, a long report: the gist first, the detail underneath.
Questions
Is the PDF to notes converter free?
Knomi Notes is free, with no paid plan and no trial that runs out. You need a free Knomi account to save what you make; you can set everything up before you make one.
How long can the PDF be?
Up to 60 pages and 20 MB per PDF, and up to 8 files in one note. For a whole textbook, upload a chapter at a time: the notes are better when each covers one topic.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. The PDF is read whole, pages and all, so a scanned handout or a photographed worksheet saved as a PDF is read as well as a typed one. Very faint or handwritten scans come out less reliably.
Will it make things up?
Knomi is told to use only your material. Every flashcard and quiz question carries the line of your material it comes from, and those lines are checked against your text in code.
Can I combine a PDF with other material?
Yes. Add slides, a photo, pasted text, a YouTube lecture or a recording to the same note, and Knomi writes one set of notes from all of it.
What happens to my PDF?
Your files are read once to write the note, then deleted. The note and what you make from it are saved to your account and nobody else's.
