Spaced repetition

Cards you find harder come back more often, so vocabulary and grammar points stay in memory longer.

Export when you need it

Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, so you can print cards or keep studying in other apps.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a worksheet from your English course.

Review the generated cards

Study with spacing

Work through the deck in the browser and let spaced repetition schedule the cards you find difficult.

DeckOwl does not provide official British Council materials. It creates flashcards from the files you upload, so the cards reflect the vocabulary, collocations and grammar points your own course covers.

Start with one unit, aim for a manageable set of new words each session, and review older cards regularly so they stay fresh before your exam.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for IELTS vocabulary?

A focused set of 20 to 30 new words per session is a practical starting point for most learners. Review older cards regularly so they do not fade before your exam.

What is the best way to study collocations for English exams?

Learn words in pairs or short phrases, such as make a decision or do homework, rather than alone. Write one example sentence per card so you see the pattern in use.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, the Plus plan includes export to Anki along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The Free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Does DeckOwl include official British Council materials?

No. DeckOwl creates flashcards from the files you upload, and it is not affiliated with the British Council.
