Turn your GRE word lists into flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a vocabulary list. DeckOwl builds flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
Why a custom deck beats a generic PDF
Many people search for ETS GRE vocabulary flashcards as a printable PDF, hoping to find a ready-made list. A fixed list covers words someone else chose, though, and it rarely matches the vocabulary in the prep book or course you are actually using.
- Build the deck from the word lists you were assigned, not a generic set.
- Review with spaced repetition so difficult words repeat more often.
- Add example sentences and edit definitions before you start studying.
- Export to Anki or PDF on the Plus plan if you prefer another app or a printed copy.
Starts from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain text or photos of pages. The flashcards reflect the words you actually need to learn.
Spaced repetition built in
Hard words come back more often and easy ones less often, so your review time goes to the words you keep missing.
Export when you need it
On the Plus plan, export your deck as a PDF or to Anki, or as a CSV file for other study tools.
How it works
Upload your word list
Add a PDF, a Word file, a slide deck, notes or a photo of a vocabulary sheet from your prep course.
Generate your flashcards
DeckOwl reads the text and creates a front and back for each term, which you can edit before studying.
Review with spaced repetition
Study in the browser on the free plan, and return to the words that need more practice on the days they are due.
A custom deck starts from your own material. Upload the word lists, reading passages or notes you already have, and DeckOwl turns them into flashcards with a definition on the back. You can then review them with spaced repetition, which schedules the words you miss more often than the ones you know well.
For the best results, study the cards aloud, say the definition before you flip, and write one sentence using each word. That practice tests whether you can use a word on the exam, not just recognize it.

Frequently asked questions
How should I split GRE vocabulary into flashcard decks?
Smaller decks you can review every day usually work better than one very large list. Organizing words by week, by source or by root word keeps each session manageable.
What is the best way to study GRE vocabulary with flashcards?
Review with spaced repetition and say the definition before you flip each card. Writing one example sentence per word helps you check that you can use it, not only recognize it.
Can DeckOwl give me an ETS GRE vocabulary flashcards PDF?
DeckOwl creates a custom deck from your own material rather than a fixed ETS list. PDF export is part of the Plus plan, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.
Is there a free plan to try it?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
