A flashcard deck app that builds cards from your own notes
Upload a PDF, slide deck, document, set of notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl drafts the flashcards, then schedules reviews so you remember them longer.
How a flashcard deck app fits into your study routine
A flashcard deck app is most useful when the deck comes from the material you are actually studying, not a generic list. Upload your lecture slides or textbook chapter, and DeckOwl drafts the cards so your time goes into recalling answers instead of typing them out.
- Cards built from your own PDFs, slides, notes or images
- A spaced repetition schedule for every card in the deck
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
- Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month adds unlimited generations and exports
Upload almost anything
Add PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or photos of pages read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know are shown less often.
More than flashcards
Generate multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, plus mind maps from the same material.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a lecture deck, a chapter, your notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Generate your deck
DeckOwl builds flashcards from your own content, so the deck matches what your course covers.
Study on schedule
Review in the browser each day and let spaced repetition decide which cards come up next.
Spaced repetition is what turns a stack of cards into long-term memory. Cards you know are shown less often, and cards you miss return sooner, so a short daily session covers more ground than one long cram.
The free plan lets you study every deck in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export if you want to review in another app.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should a deck have for a circuits exam?
Most students do better with 20 to 40 cards per chapter than with one huge set, since smaller decks are easier to review daily. Start with definitions and formulas, then add cards for the concepts you keep missing.
What is the best way to study electric circuits with flashcards?
Write cards that ask you to apply a rule, such as predicting current in a parallel branch, instead of only naming a term. Review daily and say the answer aloud before you flip the card.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study cards in the browser.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
