Turn your HESI biology notes into flashcards with AI
Upload your biology slides, notes or PDFs and get flashcards with spaced repetition. No credit card needed to start.
Why build your own HESI biology cards
Public sets labeled for HESI biology are a common starting point, but they rarely match what your program covers and they can be out of date. A better route is turning your own slides, textbook chapters or photographed notes into HESI biology flashcards that follow your syllabus.
- Cards are drawn from the exact pages or slides you upload, not a generic topic list.
- Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you do not need a typed copy first.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you forget, not a fixed calendar.
- Free accounts need no credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
Works with your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of textbook pages. Cards follow what your instructor actually covers.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and the ones you know fade to later reviews. You spend time on the biology you have not mastered yet.
Study in the browser
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study with no exports. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, notes file or a photo of a page from your biology review book.
Generate your flashcards
DeckOwl reads the text and creates question-and-answer cards on the terms and processes in your material.
Review on a schedule
Study in short daily sessions and let spaced repetition decide which cards need another look.
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or image, and DeckOwl generates flashcards you can study in the browser on the free plan. Cards use spaced repetition, so the terms you miss return sooner than the ones you already know.
Plus adds exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, so you can print a review sheet or move your cards into another app for studying.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for HESI biology?
Aim for one card per testable concept rather than a fixed number, so a chapter on cellular respiration might yield 15 to 25 cards. Prioritize terms your instructor emphasized and processes you have to explain in order.
How often should I review HESI biology flashcards?
Short daily sessions of 20 to 30 minutes work better than long cram sessions before the exam. Spaced repetition brings each card back just before you would be likely to forget it.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki or PDF?
Yes, but exports are a paid feature: PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email, and the free plan lets you study in the browser.
Does DeckOwl work with photos of my textbook pages?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload images alongside PDFs, slides or notes. You can start without a credit card.
