Turn your own notes into Knowt-style AI flashcards
Upload the PDFs, slides, notes or photos you already have and DeckOwl builds flashcards you can study with spaced repetition.
Why students look for AI flashcards like Knowt
Students who already have lecture slides and a stack of PDFs usually want Knowt-style AI flashcards they can review on a schedule, not a blank list they have to type out by hand. The useful part is turning material you already trust into cards that test specific facts.
- Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you miss
- Quizzes with explanations and mind maps from the same upload
- Free plan to start with no credit card
Start from what you already have
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back on a schedule that targets the ones you are most likely to forget.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true or false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or a mind map.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Review the generated cards
Check the questions and answers, then keep the ones that test one idea clearly.
Study on a spaced schedule
Review in the browser, and let the spacing bring back the cards you miss.
DeckOwl reads your files and drafts question-and-answer cards, then schedules them with spaced repetition. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so you can take your cards into other tools.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for one lecture?
Most lectures give enough material for a focused set of cards, so keep each card to one fact, term or relationship. Generate from one topic at a time so you can check each card quickly.
What makes a flashcard worth keeping?
A good card asks one clear question with one answer you can verify against your notes. Delete cards that combine several ideas, since they are hard to grade honestly when you review.
Can I export my flashcards?
Exports are part of the paid Plus plan, which includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start.
