How do I upload notes to uNotes?
Sign in and use the upload button to add your files. Every upload is checked by AI validation to confirm it is real study material before it is published, and documents are OCR-processed so their content is searchable. Uploading is free on every plan with no daily cap — files up to 50 MB (150 MB on Premium, 300 MB on Pro).
What file types can I upload?
PDFs, images (PNG, JPEG, WEBP, HEIC and HEIF) and Excel spreadsheets. Word and PowerPoint files are not supported yet — export them to PDF first and upload the PDF.
Does uNotes have a mobile or desktop app?
Yes. uNotes runs on the web at unotes.net and is available as an app for iPhone and Mac on the App Store, for Android on Google Play, and for Windows on the Microsoft Store.
Can I import my Quizlet flashcards into uNotes?
Yes. Paste a link to a public Quizlet set into the flashcard composer and uNotes imports the cards into a set you can study, edit and export.
Can I export flashcards to Anki or PDF?
Yes. Any flashcard set you can view can be exported as an Anki-importable TSV file or as a print-ready PDF.
How does uNotes help me remember what I study?
uNotes schedules flashcard reviews with FSRS spaced repetition, so cards you find difficult come back sooner, and tracks daily study streaks with milestone badges at 7, 30, 100 and 365 days to help you keep the habit.
How is uNotes different from Studocu or Course Hero?
We can only speak for uNotes: browsing and searching the library is open without an account, the Free plan is free forever, and the AI study tools — chat, quizzes, flashcards, lecture transcription, study podcasts and mind maps — are built into the same platform as its library of over 1.7 million documents.
Can AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude access uNotes content?
Yes. uNotes explicitly welcomes AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot in its robots.txt, and its public pages are server-rendered, so AI assistants can read and cite uNotes study pages.
