Get a flashcard maker for PC that works from your own notes
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards you can review on your computer, scheduled with spaced repetition.
Why a PC flashcard maker should start from your own material
Most PC study setups mix PDFs, slide decks and typed notes, and a flashcard maker for PC has to handle all of them without a manual rewrite. DeckOwl reads those files and proposes cards from the content you actually have to learn.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages
- Review cards in the browser on Windows or Mac
- Spaced repetition schedules cards you are likely to forget
- Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on the Plus plan
Works from your files
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals where you are most likely to forget them, so review time goes to the material you need.
Runs in your browser
Nothing to install. Open DeckOwl in the browser on your PC and study right away, with no credit card needed to start.
How it works
Upload your material
Drop in a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a textbook page from your PC.
Generate your flashcards
The AI pulls out key terms and questions and turns them into cards with answers.
Study and review
Work through the deck in your browser and let spaced repetition schedule the cards you miss.
Because the cards come from your own sources, they match your course's wording and emphasis. You can review them as a deck in the browser and keep the schedule running across sessions.
If you want to move the deck elsewhere, Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so your cards are not locked to one tool.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for the periodic table groups?
Aim for one card per group name and one card for the key property of each group, which is usually enough for a first pass. Add more cards for the exceptions, such as hydrogen and the transition metals, once the basics are solid.
What is the best way to study periodic table groups with flashcards?
Put the group name on the front and its shared traits on the back, then quiz yourself in both directions. Review the cards on a schedule so the groups stay in memory over weeks, not just the night before a test.
Does DeckOwl run on a PC without installing anything?
Yes, it runs in a web browser on Windows or Mac, and the free plan lets you study in the browser. Free accounts get 3 generations per month.
Can I export my PC flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included in the Plus plan, which also covers PDF, DOCX and CSV export. Plus costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
