A flashcard maker for your Word and PowerPoint files
Upload the slides, handouts or notes your Microsoft Office course already uses. DeckOwl builds flashcards from your own material and schedules reviews with spaced repetition.
How a flashcard maker fits into a Microsoft Office course
Students who live in Word, PowerPoint and Excel often want a flashcard maker that starts from the files they already have instead of a blank card deck. Lecture slides, lab handouts and chapter summaries hold the terms and steps that will appear on the exam, so turning them into cards is usually the fastest route to a usable set.
- Upload the .pptx or .docx file your instructor shared instead of retyping the notes.
- Keep each flashcard to one shortcut, function or definition so the review stays quick.
- Review missed cards more often and let the spacing handle the rest.
- Export to Anki or CSV on Plus if you want to study outside the browser.
Starts from your own files
Upload PPTX, DOCX, PDF, plain text or a photo of a page. The flashcards come from the material your instructor actually assigned.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know drop to longer intervals, so review time goes where it helps most.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same file into multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations, or into a mind map of the topic.
How it works
Upload your file
Add a Word document, a PowerPoint deck, a PDF or a photo of printed notes. No credit card is needed to start.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards, edit any that miss a detail, and keep the ones that match your course.
Study on schedule
Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds spaced repetition scheduling and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.
A good set of cards for Microsoft Office topics mixes definitions, keyboard shortcuts and short procedures. Keep each card to one fact, and check that the answer matches the version your class uses, since menu locations change between Office releases.

Frequently asked questions
What Microsoft Office topics make good flashcards?
Keyboard shortcuts, Excel functions, PowerPoint views and Word formatting steps all work well because each has one clear answer. Write each card as a single question so you can check yourself quickly.
How many flashcards should I make for an Excel or Word exam?
Start with the terms and steps from one lecture or chapter, usually 20 to 40 cards, and add more as the course goes on. Smaller sets reviewed daily tend to stick better than one large set reviewed once a week.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but Anki export is a paid feature on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and it does not require a credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
