Turn your PDFs, slides and notes into flashcards with AI
Upload a chapter, a lecture deck or a photo of your notes. DeckOwl reads the material and builds flashcards you can review on a spaced repetition schedule.
Why students use an AI flashcard site
Students with a stack of lecture slides and a chapter PDF often want a deck without retyping every term, and an AI flashcard site can read those files and draft the cards in minutes.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages
- Edit or delete any card before you study
- Study in the browser on the free plan
- Export to Anki or CSV on Plus
Works with your files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further out, so review time goes to what you are actually forgetting.
Study anywhere
Free accounts study in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or photo of a page.
Review the generated cards
Check the cards DeckOwl drafted, edit any that are unclear, and remove the ones you do not need.
Study on a spaced schedule
Open your deck each day and rate how well you recalled each card. The schedule adjusts from there.
The useful part is the review loop. Generated cards only help if you see them again at the right time, so spaced repetition schedules each card based on how well you recalled it last time. You still decide what stays in the deck.
