How AI turns notes into flashcards
AI that makes flashcards out of notes saves time when an exam covers a whole semester of lectures. Upload the file you already have, whether that is a PDF, a slide deck, a DOCX file or a photo of a page, and the text is pulled out for you.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images of pages
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
- Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX
- Students get 40% off with a school email and no credit card needed to start
Reads your notes
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition, so you do not have to retype anything.
Flashcards with spaced repetition
Cards come back at the intervals your memory needs, so you review the ones you are about to forget.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map.
How it works
Add your notes
Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, plain text or photos of pages.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl pulls the key terms and questions from your material into flashcards.
Study and review
Study in the browser with spaced repetition scheduling reviews. Plus adds export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.
The cards are only half the job. Spaced repetition brings each card back just before you would forget it, which turns a pile of terms into something you can recall on a test. Start with the free plan's 3 generations a month, then move to Plus for unlimited generations and exports.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one set of notes?
Keep one idea per card. Dense lecture notes can produce many cards, so start with the terms you keep missing and add more as you review.
What makes a good flashcard for studying cell biology?
Write a specific question on the front, such as which organelle makes most of the cell's ATP, and a short answer on the back. Avoid cards that hold a whole paragraph.
Can I export the flashcards to Anki?
Yes, on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan keeps you studying in the browser with no exports.
What does the free plan include?
The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Unlimited generations, exports and spaced repetition are part of Plus.
