Turn your French vocabulary into flashcards with AI
Duolingo is good for daily practice, but your class handouts, textbook chapters and photos of notes hold the words you actually need. DeckOwl builds flashcards from that material and schedules reviews so the words stick.
Why build your own French flashcard deck
Pre-made lists rarely match the unit you are studying this week, so Duolingo-style French flashcards work better when they come from your own lessons. Upload the handout or chapter and DeckOwl pulls out the vocabulary, phrases and verb forms that appear in it.
- Cards come from your own French lessons, notes and photos
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews based on what you miss
- Quizzes with explanations reinforce grammar as well as vocabulary
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads the page, and the cards match your course.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so a short daily session keeps French vocabulary in memory.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same French material into multiple choice, true or false, and short answer quizzes with explanations, or map verb forms and themes.
How it works
Upload your French material
Add a lesson PDF, a vocabulary list, slides or a photo of your notes. No credit card is needed to start.
Review the generated cards
Check the fronts and backs, remove anything you do not need, and keep the words that match your course.
Study a little every day
Open your deck in the browser and let spaced repetition choose what to review next.
Spaced repetition does the scheduling. Words you struggle with come back within the same session, and familiar ones step back, so your time goes to the gaps. Exports to Anki or CSV are available on paid plans if you already keep decks elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
How many French flashcards should I study each day?
Keep the daily set small enough that you finish it most days. A short session that you repeat often works better than one long session each week.
What is the best way to make French vocabulary stick?
Say each word aloud, use it in a short sentence, and review it again when the app asks. Spaced repetition handles the timing so you do not have to guess.
Can I export my French flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Plus includes export to Anki, plus PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Does DeckOwl include Duolingo lessons?
No, DeckOwl is not affiliated with Duolingo and does not pull from its lessons. It creates flashcards from the French material you upload.
