Turn any PDF or set of notes into flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards you can review with spaced repetition. Start free, no credit card needed.
What to look for in a Quizlet-style study tool
Most students who move from Quizlet want the cards to come from their own material, not a shared deck built by someone else. An AI flashcard generator reads your lecture slides or textbook chapter and drafts question-and-answer pairs you can edit before studying.
- Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or photos of pages
- Cards scheduled automatically with spaced repetition
- Quizzes with explanations generated from the same material
- Free plan studies in the browser; exports require Plus
Any source material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads images too.
Spaced repetition
Cards return at the intervals your memory needs, so you review what you are about to forget.
Quizzes and mind maps
Build multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or a mind map, from the same material.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Review the generated cards
Edit, delete or add cards before you start studying so the deck matches your course.
Study on a schedule
Spaced repetition brings back each card just before you would forget it.
Spaced repetition matters more than the number of cards. Reviewing a card just before you would forget it builds recall better than rereading the same deck every night, so choose a tool that schedules reviews for you.
Exports are a paid feature: PDF and DOCX for printing, and Anki and CSV if you already study in another app.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a chapter?
Aim for one card per distinct fact, term or cause, which often means 20 to 40 cards for a dense chapter. Split any card that tests two ideas at once.
What makes a good flashcard for history?
Put one event, person or cause on the front and the key date, outcome or reason on the back. Include why and how questions so you practice explaining, not just recognizing names.
Is DeckOwl free to use?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV need Plus, which is $39 a year or $7.99 a month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
Can I export my cards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan does not include exports.
