How picture-based flashcards work in DeckOwl

Diagram-heavy courses such as anatomy, art history and geography need an app to make flashcards with pictures that starts from your own slides and textbook pages, not a generic deck.

Upload slides or textbook photos and get cards built from their labels and captions.
Keep each card to one fact, such as one structure and its function.
Study with spaced repetition so you see the hardest labels more often.
Export to Anki or CSV on Plus if you already use another review system.

Generate the full set

Reads photos of pages

Snap a textbook page or labeled diagram. Text recognition pulls out the terms and labels to build cards.

Built from your material

PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and notes all become flashcards based on what your course actually uses.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at spaced intervals, so picture-heavy topics stick without last-minute cramming.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or photos of pages.

Review the generated cards

Check the fronts and backs, and keep the ones that test the facts you need.

Study in your browser

Work through cards with spaced repetition. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are on Plus.

DeckOwl reads the printed text in photos of pages and slides, so labels, captions and terms become the fronts and backs of cards. Artwork with no text is not turned into a card, so add a short caption or label to a picture in your notes if you want it tested.

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.
