Turn your own notes into flashcards without a Word template
Skip the blank grid. Upload your notes, slides or PDFs and get AI flashcards with spaced repetition, ready to study in the browser.
From your own notes to a finished flashcard set
Most of the time a blank template is just a grid waiting for you to type. Instead, paste in your lecture slides or notes and DeckOwl drafts a set of Word template flashcards you can review in the browser, with spaced repetition scheduling the reviews for you.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages.
- Get flashcards with spaced repetition built in.
- Quizzes with multiple choice, true/false and short answer, with explanations.
- Export to DOCX, PDF, Anki or CSV on Plus.
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the pages so the cards match what your class actually covered.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back at the intervals your memory needs, so you review the hard ones more often and the easy ones less.
Exports on Plus
Plus adds DOCX, PDF, Anki and CSV export, so you can print a set or move it into another app. The free plan stays in the browser.

Photosynthesis is a good test case: the light reactions, the Calvin cycle and the inputs and outputs each need their own card. Review a set until you can explain each step without looking, then move on to a quiz or mind map.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a photosynthesis unit?
Most units work well with 20 to 40 cards, one fact per card, covering the light reactions, the Calvin cycle, and the inputs and outputs. Start with the terms your teacher emphasized and add more where gaps show up.
What should a photosynthesis flashcard cover?
Each card should test one idea, such as where a process happens or what role a molecule plays. Keep answers short, since long paragraphs on the back are hard to review.
Can I export my flashcards to Word?
Yes, DOCX export is included in Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card. Students get 40% off with a school email.
