Turn your notes into large flash cards with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl builds flashcards from your own material, and you can study them in your browser with spaced repetition.
Large flash cards you make from your own material
Many students search for large flash cards because small print is hard to read or because they want bigger, clearer prompts to study from. A ready-made set rarely matches your course, so DeckOwl builds the deck from the pages you already have.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images of pages
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around the cards you miss
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
- Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export
Starts from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you find hard come back more often, so review time goes to the material you are most likely to forget.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same source into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes or photos of a textbook page. No credit card is needed to start.
Review the generated cards
Check the questions and answers, then keep the ones that match what your class covers.
Study with spaced repetition
Work through the deck in short sessions in your browser, and let the schedule decide what comes up next.
Upload your lecture slides, a chapter PDF or typed notes, and the AI pulls out terms, definitions and key facts as individual cards. You can read and edit each one before studying, so the wording stays close to what your instructor teaches.
Once the deck is ready, study in the browser and zoom in as far as you need. Free accounts get 3 generations per month with browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF export if you want a printed copy.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for Spanish vocabulary?
Start with the words from a single lesson so one review session covers the whole set. Add more once you can recall most of the first group without looking at the back.
How does spaced repetition help with memorizing vocabulary?
Spaced repetition shows cards you find difficult more often and easy ones less often, so you review each word just before you are likely to forget it. Short, regular sessions work better than one long cram.
Can I print my large flash cards?
Free accounts study in the browser and do not include exports. Plus, at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, includes PDF export so you can print your cards.
Is there a free way to try DeckOwl?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
