Use a flashcard maker that also writes quizzes from your notes
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl builds flashcards with spaced repetition and quizzes with explanations.
Why a flashcard maker and quiz tool belong together
Flashcards and practice questions test different skills, so a flashcard and quiz maker that works from your own notes saves you from building both by hand. Recall of terms and definitions suits cards, while quizzes show whether you can apply them.
- Flashcards with spaced repetition scheduling
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes
- Explanations for every quiz answer
- Photos of pages read with text recognition
Flashcards with spaced repetition
Cards come back at the right time, so you spend less effort on what you already know.
Quizzes with explanations
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
Built from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.
How it works

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or images.
Choose flashcards or a quiz
Pick the format that fits what you need to practice.
Study in the browser
Review cards on a spaced repetition schedule or work through the quiz. The free plan includes 3 generations per month.
DeckOwl generates both formats from the same upload, so you can switch between cards and questions without retyping anything. Spaced repetition keeps the cards in rotation so older material does not fade while you focus on new topics.
The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus, at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, adds unlimited generations along with PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Pro, at $14.99/month, adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for cell division?
Start with 15 to 25 cards covering the phases of mitosis, the phases of meiosis, and the key differences such as number of divisions and chromosome number. Add more only after you can answer the first set without checking.
How do I tell mitosis and meiosis apart on a quiz?
Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells in one division, while meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells over two divisions. Quiz yourself on the number of divisions and daughter cells first, since those are the easiest differences to test.
Is the flashcard maker free to use?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV requires a paid plan.
Can I export my quizzes?
Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for courses that use those systems.
