How we read web articles
Paste a link and we fetch the page, strip navigation and ads, and keep the article text, so a Wikipedia entry or an assigned reading becomes a study set in one step.
Get the best results
- Link the specific article, not a site's home page.
- Combine several readings on one topic into one set for synthesis questions.
What your study guides include
- A structured outline of the main topics in your material
- Key terms, learning objectives and common misconceptions
- Worked examples where your material has them
- Practice questions at the end of each section
How you study them
Read the guide to get the shape of the topic, then jump into practice from any section. The guide and the questions come from the same analysis, so they cover the same ground.
Best for: starting a new unit, condensing a long reading, the night before an exam.
Things that trip people up with web articles
- Paywalled and login-only pages cannot be fetched. Copy the text and paste it instead.
- Pages that load their text with heavy scripts may come back short; pasting works there too.
Questions about article to study guide
Which sites work?+
Most public articles: Wikipedia, news sites, blogs, open textbooks and course pages. Paywalled pages need copy and paste.
Do you store the page?+
We store the extracted text with your study set so you can check answers against it later. It stays private unless you publish the set.
How long is the study guide?+
Choose a quick review sheet, a comprehensive guide or an exam-prep guide. Length follows your material: a ten-page chapter gets a page or two, not padding.
Is the web article to study guide converter free?+
Yes. You can try it free with a 3-day Pro trial and no credit card, then keep using the free plan every month.
