- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images
- Cards are built from your own material, not a generic deck
- Spaced repetition schedules your reviews automatically
- Anki and CSV export on Plus, with 40% off using a school email
Upload almost anything
Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages, which are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at intervals timed to when you are likely to forget them, so review time goes where it helps most.
Anki export on Plus
Send your cards to Anki on the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study in the browser.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, plain text notes or a photo of a page.
Generate your cards
DeckOwl builds flashcards from the text it reads, so you start reviewing without typing anything.
Study or export
Review in the browser, or export to Anki on Plus.
Flashcards work best when each one tests a single fact or idea and when you review them on a schedule rather than all at once. Spaced repetition handles that scheduling, so you spend time on the cards you are most likely to forget.
Start with the material you already have, whether that is a textbook chapter, a set of class notes or a photo of a whiteboard, and let the cards come from your own content.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a Macbeth unit?
Keep each card to one idea a test could ask about, such as a character's motive or a key quote. Short single-fact cards are easier to review daily than long paragraphs.
What is the best way to study Shakespeare with flashcards?
Make cards for characters, quotes and turning points in the order they happen in the play. Say the answer aloud before flipping the card, and give more review time to the cards you miss.
Can I export AI-generated flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan includes studying in the browser but not exports.
How many generations does the free plan include?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus gives unlimited generations, and students get 40% off with a school email.
