Why generate cards instead of printing blanks

Printing an empty flashcard template gives you a grid to fill in, but you still have to decide what matters in your reading first. DeckOwl reverses that order: upload your own material and it drafts the cards for you to check and correct.

Cards are based on your own readings, lectures and notes, not generic content.
You can edit any draft card before it enters your study queue.
Spaced repetition schedules reviews so you spend time on weak spots.
Free accounts can study in the browser, and Plus adds exports to Anki and CSV.

Generate the full set

Start from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or a photo of a page, and get cards built from what you actually need to learn.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards return at the intervals you need, so review time goes to the ones you are about to forget.

Study free in the browser

The free plan includes 3 generations per month. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of Plus.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, or a photo of a textbook page.

Review the cards

Edit, merge or delete any card before you start studying.

Study on a schedule

Spaced repetition brings back harder cards more often and easier ones less often.

Once the cards exist, the study method matters more than the layout. Spaced repetition shows each card again just before you would likely forget it, so a short daily session can cover a lot of material over a few weeks.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for one study session?

Most people do better with 20 to 40 cards per session than with a long list they skim. Keep each card to one fact or one question so you can answer it in a few seconds.

What makes a good flashcard front and back?

The front should ask a specific question, and the back should give a short answer you can check against your notes. Avoid putting two separate facts on one card, because you will get one right and one wrong.

Is there a free plan for generating flashcards?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. No credit card is needed to start.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki or a PDF?

Yes, but exports are paid features. Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, plus unlimited generations.
