Turn your own notes into flashcards on your Windows PC with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, Word file, set of notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl runs in your browser on Windows, so there is nothing to install.
Why a browser-based tool works well on Windows
Lecture slides, Word files and scanned pages often end up in different folders on a Windows PC. A flashcard maker app for Windows can read all of them and turn the key terms into cards you review with spaced repetition.
- Read PDFs, slides, notes and photos of pages without retyping them.
- Review with spaced repetition so weak cards come back sooner.
- Start free with no credit card needed.
- Export to Anki or CSV when you upgrade to Plus.
Works from your files
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back at the intervals that help you remember them, so you spend time on what you are about to forget.
Quizzes and mind maps
Build multiple choice, true or false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or map a topic as a mind map.
How it works
Upload your material
Drag in a PDF, slide deck, Word file or notes from your Windows folders.
Generate your flashcards
The AI pulls out key terms and questions. Review the cards and edit anything that is off.
Study in the browser
Work through the cards with spaced repetition. Plus adds exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.
DeckOwl runs in your browser, so there is no installer to download. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus, at $39 per year or $7.99 per month, removes the generation limit and adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one chapter?
Keep each card to one idea, and most chapters will give you a few dozen cards. If an answer runs past two lines, split it into two cards.
What is a good way to study Windows concepts with flashcards?
Put the term or question on the front and a short answer on the back. Review the cards you miss more often than the ones you already know.
Do I need to install anything to use it on Windows?
No. DeckOwl runs in your browser, and the free plan lets you study there with 3 generations per month.
Can I export my cards to Anki?
Anki export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
