Turn your PowerPoint slides into flashcards with AI
Upload a .pptx, PDF, notes or photos of pages and get flashcards with spaced repetition. Export to Anki is available on Plus.
Why build flashcards straight from your slides
Most lecture decks already contain the terms, definitions and diagrams you need to memorize, so an AI flashcard maker from PowerPoint saves you from retyping them by hand.
- Turn a full lecture deck into cards in one upload
- Keep slide terms and definitions in your own wording
- Review on a spaced repetition schedule instead of cramming
- Start free with no credit card and upgrade only if you need exports
Reads every slide
Text from each slide is pulled into the generator, so titles, bullets and speaker context all feed into your cards.
Spaced repetition built in
Reviews are scheduled so cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know fade into longer gaps.
Study anywhere
Free accounts study in the browser. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for the tools you already use.
How it works
Upload your deck
Drop in a .pptx file. You can also add a PDF, typed notes or photos of printed slides.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl turns the material into question and answer cards you can edit before you study.
Review on a schedule
Start a session and let spaced repetition decide which cards need attention today.
DeckOwl reads the text on each slide and turns it into question and answer cards. Spaced repetition then schedules reviews so the cards you struggle with appear more often than the ones you have mastered.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, starting at $39/year or $7.99/month.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one slide deck?
Aim for one card per key term, definition or relationship rather than one per slide. A typical lecture deck usually yields a manageable set of 30 to 60 cards once you remove duplicates.
What is the best way to study anatomy flashcards?
Study in short daily sessions and say the answer aloud before flipping the card. Spaced repetition works best when you rate honestly so difficult cards return sooner.
Can I export flashcards from PowerPoint to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. Free accounts can study the same cards in the browser without exporting.
Does DeckOwl read photos of slides?
Yes, images of pages are read with text recognition, which helps when you only have printed handouts. PPTX files are read directly, so uploading the original deck usually gives cleaner results.
