Why generate your own printable cards

A printable flash card maker is most useful when the cards come from the material you are actually tested on. Ready-made sheets cover general topics, while your lecture slides and textbook chapter reflect your instructor's emphasis and terms.

  • Generate cards from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or photos of pages
  • Export to PDF or DOCX for printing on Plus, or to Anki and CSV
  • Study in the browser with spaced repetition on any plan
  • Students with a school email get 40% off

Cards from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. The cards reflect what your class actually covered.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at growing intervals, so you review the ones you are about to forget instead of the ones you already know.

Word and PDF export on Plus

The Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month exports to PDF and DOCX, plus Anki and CSV. The free plan studies in the browser.

How it works

Upload your material

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

Review the generated cards

Check the questions and answers, then edit or remove any card that does not match your course.

Study or print

Study in the browser for free, or export to PDF or DOCX on Plus to print a set for class.

Start with the source you already have. Upload the chapter PDF or your typed notes, then trim the generated set to the terms that matter most. Printing a short set of hard cards is often more useful than printing a long generic one.

Students with a school email get 40% off, and no credit card is needed to try the free plan, which allows 3 generations per month.

Frequently asked questions

What should a printable flashcard set for World War I causes include?

Focus on key terms like militarism, alliances and nationalism, plus the events that led to war in 1914. Each card should ask one clear question with a short, specific answer.

How do I study history flashcards more effectively?

Review cards in short sessions spread over several days rather than cramming the night before. Say the answer aloud before flipping the card, and keep cards you miss in the rotation.

Can I print the flashcards I make in DeckOwl?

Yes, but printing requires export, which is a Plus feature. Plus exports to PDF and DOCX, so you can print from either file.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports to PDF or DOCX require Plus.
