Study smarter with a flashcard app built from your own notes
Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages. DeckOwl drafts flashcards you can edit, then schedules reviews so you see each card right before you forget it.
How a flashcard study app fits into your week
Most study time gets lost re-reading slides that feel familiar but never stick. A flashcard study app fixes that by turning your own material into cards you answer from memory, then scheduling them with spaced repetition.
- Flashcards drafted from your own lecture slides and readings
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews so cards come back before you forget them
- Quizzes with explanations to test the same material in a different format
- Free plan to start with 3 generations per month and no credit card
Cards from any source
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards return at the intervals your memory needs, so review time goes to what you are about to forget.
Quizzes and mind maps
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or a mind map.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page.

Study on schedule
Review each day's due cards and let spaced repetition set the next review.
DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes and photos of pages, then drafts flashcards you can edit before studying. Free accounts get 3 generations per month and can study in the browser.
Paid plans remove the monthly generation limit and add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so your cards can move to the tools you already use.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a probability basics unit?
Start with one card per definition or rule, then add cards for the problems you miss on practice sets. Cards built from your own worked examples tend to be the most useful.
Should I memorize probability formulas or practice problems?
Do both. Use cards to memorize the formulas, then solve problems that use them, since probability questions test whether you can choose the right rule for a situation.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, on the Plus plan, which includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Does DeckOwl work with photos of my notes?
Yes. Upload images of pages and the text is read with text recognition, then turned into flashcards you can review.
