A flashcard web app that turns your own notes into a study deck
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards with spaced repetition, ready to study in the browser.
What to look for in a flashcard web app
Choosing the best flashcard web app usually comes down to three things: where your material comes from, whether review is spaced out over time, and whether you can take your cards somewhere else when you need them.
- Runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install
- Accepts your own PDFs, slides, notes and page photos
- Schedules reviews with spaced repetition
- Exports to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan
Any file becomes cards
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, so your review time goes to the material you are forgetting.
Study in the browser
The free plan lets you study in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of Plus.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, set of notes or a photo of a page.
Review the generated cards
Check the flashcards and edit anything that does not match your course.
Study on a spaced schedule
Work through the deck in your browser and let spaced repetition decide what comes back next.
Source material matters most. A web app that only accepts typed cards means spending an evening copying lecture slides by hand. DeckOwl reads PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages, then drafts the flashcards for you to check.
Spaced repetition is the other half. Cards you get wrong come back sooner, and cards you know drop out of the rotation. The free plan lets you generate three decks a month and study in the browser; Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for learning HTML and CSS?
Start with the terms you cannot explain yet, then add cards as new topics come up. A focused deck is easier to review than one that covers an entire course.
What is a good way to study HTTP status codes with flashcards?
Put the code on the front and its meaning plus a typical cause on the back, such as 404 for a missing resource. Review the 4xx and 5xx groups separately so each class sticks.
Is DeckOwl free to use?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the paid Plus plan.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, on the Plus plan, which also includes unlimited generations and spaced repetition.
