A flashcard app that makes cards from your own notes
Upload a PDF, a slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards you can study in your browser, with spaced repetition built in.
Why a custom deck beats a ready-made one
Most people who type flashcard app store want a study app that fits what they are actually learning, and a generic deck rarely matches a specific lecture, textbook chapter or set of slides. DeckOwl works the other way around: you bring the material and it produces the cards.
- Cards are generated from the files you upload, not from a shared library
- Photos of pages are read with text recognition
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews for the cards you find hard
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card needed
Starts from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back on a schedule that adjusts to what you remember and what you miss.
More than cards
Turn the same material into quizzes with explanations or mind maps when flashcards are not enough.
How it works
Upload your material
Drop in the file or photo from your class, or paste your notes.
Review the generated cards
Edit, remove or keep the flashcards DeckOwl creates from your content.
Study on a schedule
Practice in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you are about to forget.
Because the cards come from your own files, the wording and emphasis follow your course. You can check each card against the source before you study, which is faster than sorting through a long list of decks made by other people.
On the free plan you get 3 generations per month and can study in the browser. Paid plans add unlimited generations and export options for your other study tools.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for Spanish vocabulary?
Start with one unit or about 20 to 30 cards so you can review them daily. Add more once you can recall most of the first set without hesitating.
How often should I review flashcards with spaced repetition?
Review the cards that come up each day, even if it is only ten minutes. Missed cards return sooner, which is how the schedule targets what you are about to forget.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
