Get the best GRE flashcards from the prep material you already own
Upload your GRE study guides, word lists, lecture slides or photos of pages. DeckOwl turns them into flashcards with spaced repetition, so you review what you are most likely to forget.
Why custom decks beat generic GRE lists
Most ready-made GRE decks cover vocabulary and topics you may already know, while missing the terms in your own books and practice sets. The best GRE flashcards are the ones built from the exact words and concepts you are studying.
- Cards come from your PDFs, slides, notes or photos, not a generic list
- Spaced repetition shows hard cards more often and easy ones less often
- Free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month
- Paid plans add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV for offline review
Works with your materials
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain text notes or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back less often, so review time goes to the words that need it.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or map out how concepts connect.
How it works
Upload your prep material
Add the PDF, slides, notes or page photos you are studying from for the GRE.
Generate your flashcards
DeckOwl creates question and answer cards from your text. Free accounts get 3 generations per month.
Study with spaced repetition
Review cards in your browser each day and let the schedule focus on your weakest material.
Generating cards from your own material also keeps you focused. If a passage in your prep book confused you, the flashcard for it is one upload away, and you can review it alongside the rest of your notes.
Spaced repetition does the scheduling so you do not have to. Cards you miss return sooner, which helps vocabulary and formulas stick closer to test day.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for GRE vocabulary?
Start with the words from one study chapter or word list at a time, since a focused set of 30 to 50 cards is easier to review daily. Add more as your earlier cards become familiar.
What makes a good GRE vocabulary flashcard?
Put the word on the front and a short definition on the back, plus a context sentence if you have one. Cards that ask you to recall a meaning from a sentence train the skill the test measures.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but exports are a paid feature. Plus includes export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
