Turn your notes into front and back flashcards with AI
Skip the blank printable grid. Upload your own material and get cards with a question on the front and an answer on the back, ready to study with spaced repetition.
Why generate your own template
Most printable flashcard sheets give you blank boxes and leave the writing to you. If you want a front and back flashcard template filled with terms from your own course material, DeckOwl reads your file and drafts the question on the front and the answer on the back of each card.
- Works with PDFs, slides, notes and photos of pages
- Each card has a question on the front and an answer on the back
- Spaced repetition shows missed cards more often
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
Front and back from your material
DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, notes or photos of a page and drafts a question for the front and an answer for the back of each card.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back more often, so review time goes to the material you have not learned yet.
Edit before you study
Change any wording so each card matches your lecture, textbook or syllabus before you start reviewing.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or image of your notes.
Review the generated cards
Check each front and back, and edit or remove anything that does not match your course.
Study in the browser
Work through the deck with spaced repetition, or export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on a paid plan.
Every card can be reviewed in the browser, and spaced repetition schedules the ones you miss more often. Edit any card before you study so the wording matches your lecture notes.

Frequently asked questions
What should go on the front and back of a biology flashcard?
Put a single term or question on the front, such as a process or structure name. Put a short, specific answer on the back that uses your own course wording, so the card tests recall rather than recognition.
How many flashcards should I make for one biology chapter?
Most chapters work well with 20 to 40 cards, one idea per card. Start with the key terms and processes your instructor emphasized, then add cards for any concept you keep missing.
Can I export my flashcards to print or to Anki?
Yes, but exports are a paid feature. Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
