A flashcard creation app that turns your notes into study cards
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes, or a photo of a page and get flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
Why a flashcard creation app saves time
Most students spend hours typing cards by hand, and a flashcard creation app can handle the first pass in minutes. You still decide what matters, but the tedious copying from slides and chapters is done for you.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of pages
- Cards are built from your own material, not a generic deck
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you forget
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card
Works from your own material
Start with the PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain text notes, or images you already study from.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back more often, so review time goes to what you are about to forget.
Study in the browser
Review on a laptop or phone without installing anything. Free accounts get 3 generations per month.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes, or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads images as well as documents.
Review the generated cards
Check each flashcard against your source, edit any wording you want changed, and remove the rest.
Study on a daily schedule
Work through the due cards each day and let spaced repetition set when each one returns.
Good cards ask one question each, with a short answer you can check against the source. Keeping each card to a single idea makes self-testing honest and makes it easier to tell which facts you actually know.
If you later need your cards somewhere else, the paid Plus plan exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for an intro biology unit?
A typical chapter can support 15 to 30 cards, with one idea per card. Start with key terms, then add cards for processes like cellular respiration and mitosis.
How do I study cell biology with flashcards effectively?
Review cards in short daily sessions and say the answer aloud before flipping. Spaced repetition brings back the cards you miss more often than the ones you know.
Can I export my flashcards?
Exports are part of the paid Plus plan, which includes PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
Does DeckOwl work from photos of my notes?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, and PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and plain text files are also supported.
