Turn your own letter notes into printable ABC flash cards
Upload a worksheet, phonics list or photo of a page. DeckOwl generates flashcards with spaced repetition, then you can export a printable PDF on Plus.
Custom ABC flash cards instead of a generic printable
Ready-made printable sets are everywhere, but the letters your child is learning rarely match a generic page. DeckOwl starts from your own material and creates ABC flash cards from it, so the letters, words and sounds line up with what you are teaching.
- Start from your own worksheet or phonics list instead of a generic page
- Keep each session to a small group of new letters and add more as earlier ones stick
- Pair the uppercase and lowercase letter on each card with a familiar word
- Export to PDF on Plus when you are ready to print
Reads your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a page. Text recognition picks up printed letters and words from images.
Spaced repetition
Letters you miss come back more often, while the ones you know spread out, so practice time goes where it is needed.
PDF export on Plus
Plus exports your cards as a PDF for printing, along with DOCX, Anki and CSV. The free plan studies in the browser only.
How it works
Upload your letter sheet
Add a worksheet, phonics list, typed notes or a photo of a page.
Review the generated cards
Check that each front and back matches the letters, words and sounds you are teaching.
Export and print
On Plus, export the set as a PDF and print it at home or at school.
Upload a photo of a letter worksheet, a phonics list or typed notes. Text recognition reads the printed letters and words, and the cards come back with a front and back you can review before anything is printed.
Printing needs a PDF export, which is part of the Plus plan. Spaced repetition keeps the harder letters in rotation, so the set stays useful well after the first print.

Frequently asked questions
How many letters should each ABC flash card session cover?
Keep each session to a small group of new letters, and add more once the earlier ones are stable. Spaced repetition in DeckOwl brings back the letters that still need practice.
What should the back of an alphabet flash card show?
Show the uppercase and lowercase letter together, with a familiar word that starts with it, such as a for apple. Saying the sound aloud while flipping the card helps connect the letter to its sound.
Can I print my flash cards from DeckOwl?
Printing needs a PDF export, which is included in the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports, and students get 40% off with a school email.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month, without adding a credit card.
