Turn your own Chinese radicals notes into flashcards with AI
Skip the generic radical sheets. Upload your textbook chapter, slides, or a photo of your radical list, and get flashcards that match what your class actually covers.
Why a custom radical deck beats a generic printable
Many Chinese radicals flashcards PDF sheets online are generic lists that do not match the characters your class covers. Starting from your own material fixes that: upload a textbook chapter, slides, or a photo of your handwritten radical list, and DeckOwl generates flashcards from it.
- Radicals taken from your own course material, not a generic list
- Front shows the radical or a sample character; back shows its meaning and common variant
- Spaced repetition brings back the radicals you miss most often
- PDF export is available on the Plus plan for printing
Built from your material
Flashcards come from the PDFs, slides, notes, or images you upload, so the radicals match your course.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so radicals you keep forgetting get more practice time.
Export when you need paper
Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV, so you can print a radical sheet or load the deck into Anki.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes, or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl turns the material into flashcards with the radical on the front and its meaning and variants on the back.
Study or export
Review in the browser on the free plan, or export a PDF on Plus to print your own radical sheet.
Spaced repetition then schedules the radicals you miss more often, so the 214 Kangxi radicals stop blurring together. Pair each radical with a sample character so its meaning sticks when you see it inside a longer word.

Frequently asked questions
How many radicals should I learn before reading Chinese?
Most courses start with the 214 Kangxi radicals, but a small set of frequent radicals covers many everyday characters. Start with the radicals in characters your class has already introduced, then add more as they appear.
What is the best way to study radicals with flashcards?
Put the radical on the front with a sample character, and its meaning and common variant on the back. Spaced repetition then shows the cards you miss more often so they stick.
Can I download my radical flashcards as a PDF?
PDF export is included in the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
Can I make flashcards from a photo of my textbook page?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload them alongside PDFs, slides, or notes. No credit card is needed to start.
