How to get quick flashcards from your own material
Short on time before a quiz? Quick flashcards can be built from the pages you already have. Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX, plain notes or a photo of a page, and the AI pulls the key terms and answers into a deck you can review right away in the browser.
- Works from PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes and photos of pages
- Cards are generated from your material, not a generic template
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews based on what you miss
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card needed
Reads what you already have
Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back more often, so you spend less time rereading and more time remembering.
Study anywhere
Review in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for your other tools.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a file, paste notes or snap a photo of a page.
Generate your cards
DeckOwl pulls out terms, questions and answers into a flashcard deck.
Review on a schedule
Study the deck and let spaced repetition decide what comes up next.
For language courses, the fastest decks are short and specific: one greeting or phrase on the front, its meaning and a usage note on the back. Spaced repetition then schedules the cards you miss more often, so common phrases like bonjour and merci stick without rereading a whole chapter.

Frequently asked questions
How many French greeting flashcards should I make for one lesson?
Around 10 to 15 new cards per session works well for most learners. Short, frequent reviews stick better than long cramming sessions.
What is the best way to study French phrases with flashcards?
Say each phrase aloud before flipping the card, then think of a real situation where you would use it. Review a little every day instead of all at once.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki or CSV?
Yes, but exports are a paid feature. The free plan lets you study in the browser, while Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month without entering a credit card.
