How to Turn StudyFetch Notes into Nibomo Flashcards

StudyFetch’s print icon opens a printable copy of the notes for the material you have open. Start with one lecture: save its notes as a PDF, then use that file to make new flashcards in Nibomo. The PDF won’t bring over your existing Flashcards AI sets, quizzes, or study progress. Keep the lecture slides or reading open while you check the new cards: a card can match the notes and still get the answer wrong.

Save your StudyFetch notes as a PDF

  1. In StudyFetch on the web, open the material you want to study and go to Notes.
  2. Click the print icon in the toolbar above the notes. StudyFetch opens a print-ready copy in a new tab or window.
  3. Right-click the print-ready page and choose Print. In the browser’s print dialog, choose Save as PDF, then save the file.

Open the PDF before uploading it. Check that it contains the sections you want to study and that you can read any formulas or diagrams you’ll need. If something is missing, go back to the original material before making a card about it. StudyFetch Academy’s printing guide shows where to find the print icon.

Create flashcards from the PDF in Nibomo

  1. Open the Nibomo web app and switch to the workspace where you want the cards.
  2. Go to Library → Import → Import from another app. Select Choose files and add your StudyFetch PDF. Each file can be up to 30 MiB.
  3. Select Start import. Nibomo opens a new AI chat and sends the PDF with a request to create cards in your workspace. This step needs an internet connection.
  4. Once the chat finishes, open Library → Cards and check what it saved. These cards start with a fresh review schedule.

Check the card against both sources

Say a new physics card defines average velocity as “distance ÷ time.” Look for that line in your StudyFetch PDF. If the notes say the same thing, the error is already in the PDF. Check the original slide or textbook for the two formulas. For average speed, divide the total distance traveled by the elapsed time. For average velocity, divide displacement (the change in position) by that same time. OpenStax explains both formulas.

A walk out and back makes the difference easy to see. Here’s how you could turn it into two cards:

Front Back
You walk 100 m out and 100 m back in 100 seconds. What’s your average speed? 2 m/s. You walked 200 m in 100 seconds.
You walk 100 m out and 100 m back in 100 seconds. What’s your average velocity? 0 m/s. You finished where you started, so your displacement was zero.

Fix the original card before reviewing it. Then check the other cards from that lecture for details the notes might have shortened, such as a unit or a condition on a formula. If an exam topic is missing from the PDF, make that card from the course material directly.

For other file types, see the Nibomo import guide. If you’re choosing a tool for lecture notes, quizzes, or long-term review, see our comparison of StudyFetch, Anki, and Nibomo.

AI helped research and write this Nibomo guide using StudyFetch Academy’s instructions and Nibomo’s import code. The physics cards are a worked example; the transfer steps are based on documentation and code inspection.
