Why build your deck from your own material

Most ready-made layouts give you empty boxes and leave the content to you. If you want a flashcard template for Google Slides that already holds the right questions, start from the lecture slides or notes you have. DeckOwl reads them and writes the front and back of each card, then schedules reviews with spaced repetition.

  • Works from the slides your instructor already shared
  • Covers PDFs, Word files, text notes and photos of pages
  • Schedules reviews so harder cards return more often
  • Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on the Plus plan

Reads your slides

Upload PPTX, PDF, DOCX, plain notes or photos of pages and get cards drawn from your own material.

Spaced repetition

Cards are scheduled for review so the ones you miss come back before you forget them.

Study in the browser

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, with no credit card needed to start.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a slide deck, PDF, Word file, text notes or an image of a page.

Check the cards

Read the generated fronts and backs and edit anything that is off before you study.

Review on a schedule

Study in the browser on a spaced repetition schedule. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

The tool accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images, and reads text from photos of pages. Each card stays tied to the material it came from, so you can check it against the source. Editing a few cards takes less time than typing a full deck from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a single lecture?

Most lectures contain a few dozen key terms, so aim for one card per term or concept you are expected to recall. Cut cards that repeat the same idea in different words.

What makes a good flashcard front?

Write one term or question per card with a clear answer that fits on the back. Split any card asking for a long list into several smaller cards.

Can I export flashcards to Google Slides?

DeckOwl exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on the Plus plan, and none of those is a Google Slides template. You can still upload a Slides file as your source material.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and study in the browser, but no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
