Why print your own flashcards

A flashcard maker is most useful when the cards come from your own material instead of a generic deck. Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl writes question-and-answer cards you can study in the browser or export as a PDF to print. Paper works well for marking up answers by hand and for quizzing yourself away from a screen.

Print only the sections your exam covers, not a full textbook chapter
Cards are built from your own PDFs, slides, notes or page photos
Free plan includes 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
PDF export is included with Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month

Built from your material

Cards come from the PDFs, slides, notes or page photos you upload, so the printout matches what your class actually covers.

Spaced repetition

The app schedules which cards come back first, so you can print the ones you keep missing and focus your time.

PDF export on Plus

Plus includes PDF export for printing, plus DOCX, Anki and CSV. Free plan cards stay in the browser.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Generate and review

Get flashcards, then edit or remove any card that does not match your notes.

Export and print

On Plus, export the set as a PDF and print it, or keep studying in the browser.

Printed cards suit pen-and-paper drills, group sessions and study time without a device. Spaced repetition still matters, so print the cards you keep missing and keep reviewing them until they stick. PDF export is part of the Plus plan.

Can I print the flashcards for free?

The free plan lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports. PDF export, which you can print from, is part of Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.

Does it work with photos of my handwritten or printed notes?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload them as images and generate cards from them.

Does DeckOwl use spaced repetition on printed cards?

The spaced repetition schedule lives in the app, so it guides which cards you review first. You can print the cards you keep missing and mark them as you go.
