Turn your own critical pass material into flashcards
Upload the PDFs, slides, notes or page photos you already have and get flashcards that match what your course actually covers, with spaced repetition built in.
Critical pass flashcards from your own material
Printed critical pass flashcards rarely line up with your own course notes, so the most useful set is one built from your material. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes and photos of pages, then produces flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
- Keep each card to one fact or question so you can grade yourself quickly.
- Use your own slides and notes so the deck reflects what your exam emphasizes.
- Review a short session most days rather than one long cram before the test.
- Edit generated cards that are too broad or miss a key term before you start studying.
Built from your files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further apart so review time goes to what needs it.
Export when you need a printout
Plus includes PDF export, plus Anki and CSV export for other study apps.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a critical pass exam?
There is no fixed number. Aim for one card per distinct fact or concept in your notes, then remove the ones you already know well.
How often should I review flashcards?
Review daily in short sessions. Spaced repetition will bring back the cards you find hard more often and space out the ones you know.
Can I export my flashcards to PDF?
Yes, but PDF export is a paid feature. Plus costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month, while the Free plan is limited to studying in the browser.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the Free plan with 5 generations a week and no credit card.
