Turn your own notes into flashcards you can export to Word
Skip the blank table. DeckOwl drafts flashcards from your own course material, and Plus lets you export them to Word.
Why generate flashcards instead of typing them into Word
Most people who look for a flashcard maker in Word want a set they can print, edit and study from, not a blank table to fill by hand. DeckOwl starts from your own material instead: upload a PDF, slides or photos of pages and it drafts the cards for you.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or page photos
- Spaced repetition schedules every review
- Export to DOCX, PDF, Anki or CSV on Plus
- No credit card needed to start
Built from your files
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images so nothing has to be retyped.
Spaced repetition
Cards return at the intervals where you are most likely to forget them, so you review what you need most.
Word export on Plus
DOCX export is included with Plus, along with PDF, Anki and CSV export. Free plans study in the browser.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page.
Review the cards
Edit, keep or delete any card before you start studying.
Study or export
Study in your browser on Free, or export to DOCX on Plus.
Word handles layout well, but it does not schedule reviews, so a printed set goes stale fast. DeckOwl adds spaced repetition so each card comes back when you are likely to forget it. Free includes three generations a month with browser study. Plus, at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, adds unlimited generations and DOCX export.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for renewable energy sources?
Aim for one card per distinct idea, such as each energy source, how it works and its main trade-off. Most topics work well with 30 to 60 cards, and you can trim the set after reviewing the draft.
How should I study renewable energy sources with flashcards?
Study a small batch each day and rate how well you recalled each answer so spaced repetition can schedule the next review. Explain the answer out loud before flipping the card to test real recall.
Can I export my flashcards to Word?
Yes, DOCX export is available on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The Free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No, you can start without a credit card. Students also get 40% off with a school email.
