Home/PDF to study guide

Turn any lecture PDF into a study guide

Upload a PDF — exam notes, slides exported as PDF, textbook chapters — and get a structured, study-ready guide you can read online or download. shortdocs.ai is built for learning and retention, not disposable chat summaries.

• Full-document reading — not a skimmed extract
• Clear hierarchy: sections, key points, and definitions
• Concept diagrams when they aid understanding
• Section quizzes to check retention
• Downloadable PDF for offline revision
