Turn your lecture notes into flashcards with AI
Upload your typed notes, slides, PDFs or photos of handwritten pages and get a deck of flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
Why turn notes into flashcards with AI
Rewriting a semester of lecture notes into index cards by hand can eat a whole weekend. Using AI to convert notes to flashcards with AI lets you spend that time reviewing instead of copying, and the cards come from your own material, so they match what your instructor will test.
- Works with typed notes, lecture slides, PDFs and photos of handwritten pages
- Each card can be checked and edited before you study
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews based on what you remember
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study
Any source you already have
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes to what you are forgetting.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map of the topic.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, text file or a photo of your notes.
Review the generated cards
Read through the flashcards and edit any question or answer that does not match your course material.
Study in the browser
Work through the deck with spaced repetition. Exporting to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV is available on paid plans.
Good flashcards have one idea on the front and a short, specific answer on the back. Check the generated cards against your notes, remove anything you do not recognize, and add cards for terms your professor stressed. Spaced repetition then brings the hard ones back before you forget them.
Start with the notes from your most recent class. A focused deck of 30 to 50 cards is easier to review daily than a single huge set built from an entire textbook.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a cell biology unit?
Aim for one card per key term, process or function from your notes, often 30 to 50 cards for a single unit. Split very long chapters into two decks so each one stays manageable for daily review.
What makes a good cell biology flashcard?
Put one concept on the front, such as a term or a question about a process, and keep the back to the core answer. Cards like what organelle produces ATP work better than long paragraphs that cover several ideas at once.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is available on the Plus plan, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study the cards in your browser without exporting.
Does DeckOwl work with photos of my notes?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition and turned into flashcards. Clear, well-lit photos give the most accurate cards, so check the results against your original page.
