Study in the browser with spaced repetition scheduling.
Quizzes with explanations and mind maps are available from the same upload.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads images, so handwritten or printed pages work too.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at the intervals that suit how you forget, so you spend less time rereading and more time recalling.

Export when you need to

Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so your cards can move into the tools you already use.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, notes or images. No credit card is needed to start.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards DeckOwl creates and edit anything that needs fixing.

Study on a schedule

Open your deck each day and let spaced repetition decide which cards come up next.

Retyping terms by hand takes longer than learning them. DeckOwl reads your files and proposes cards, and you keep the ones that matter. Spaced repetition then handles the scheduling, so repeated review stays manageable across a whole term.

The free plan lets you make three generations a month and study in the browser. Plus removes the monthly limit and adds exports for when you want your cards outside the app.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for an ancient Egypt unit?

Start with one card per term, name or date your teacher stressed, which often means 40 to 80 cards for a unit. Add cards only when you keep missing something after several reviews.

Is spaced repetition useful for memorizing ancient Egypt dates and dynasties?

Yes, because dates and dynasty names are easy to forget without repeated recall. Spaced repetition brings each card back just before you would likely forget it.

Can I use the app for free?

Yes, the free plan includes three generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Plus includes Anki export along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export. Plus costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
