Turn your French class notes into easy flashcards
Pre-made French decks rarely match the vocabulary your class is using. Upload your notes, slides, PDFs or photos of textbook pages and DeckOwl builds flashcards from them, scheduled with spaced repetition.
Why custom French cards beat ready-made decks
Ready-made decks can be a fine starting point, but the easy French flashcards that actually help are the ones built from the words your teacher assigned. DeckOwl reads your own files and turns them into cards, so the vocabulary matches your course.
- Generate cards from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages
- Review with spaced repetition so new words stick
- Keep French verb forms on separate cards, one tense at a time
- Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan
Built from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so your actual French vocabulary lists become cards.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so you spend your study time on the words that need it.
Study anywhere
Review in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export if you want to study elsewhere.
How it works
Upload your French material
Add a vocabulary list, lesson slides, a PDF chapter or a photo of your notes.
Review the generated cards
Check the front and back of each card, then keep the ones that match what your class covers.
Study a little every day
Open your deck for a short session. Spaced repetition handles the schedule so you do not have to.
Start with short sessions. Ten to twenty new cards a day, reviewed consistently, usually works better than a long cram before a quiz. Spaced repetition then brings back the words you are about to forget.
Paid plans add unlimited generations and exports, so you can move your deck into Anki or a spreadsheet when you want to study away from the browser.

Frequently asked questions
How many French words should I study per day with flashcards?
Most learners do better with a small daily set than with long cram sessions. Start with 10 to 20 new cards and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you miss.
Should I use flashcards to learn French verb conjugations?
Yes, but put one tense or one pronoun on each card, such as the present tense of être. That way you practice each form instead of trying to memorize a whole table at once.
Is DeckOwl free for French flashcards?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV requires the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month.
Can I make flashcards from photos of my French textbook?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can photograph a page and generate cards from it. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
