Study flashcards in your browser, made from your own PDFs and notes
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages and get flashcards with spaced repetition. The free plan includes 3 generations a month, and no credit card is needed to start.
Browser flashcards without the setup
If you found a flashcard web app on GitHub while looking for something you can run yourself, you will probably spend time on installs, dependencies and writing your own card content. DeckOwl skips that part: open it in a browser, upload lecture notes or a textbook chapter, and it drafts flashcards you can review and edit.
- Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages
- Cards are drafted from your own material
- Spaced repetition schedules your reviews
- Study in the browser on the free plan
Works with your files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back at growing intervals so you review each one just before you would forget it.
Study in the browser
The free plan runs in your browser with nothing to install. Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX export are on paid plans.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, notes file or a photo of a page.
Generate your cards
DeckOwl drafts flashcards from the text it finds in your material, which you can edit.
Study on a spaced schedule
Review in the browser on a spacing schedule, then export to Anki or CSV on a paid plan.
Web and GitHub topics such as git commands, HTTP status codes and CSS layout suit flashcards well, because each fact has one clear answer. Spaced repetition then brings every card back on a schedule that matches how well you know it.
The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, removes the generation limit and adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Frequently asked questions
What should I put on web development flashcards?
Use one fact per card, such as a git command and what it does, an HTTP status code and its meaning, or a CSS property and its effect. Short answers are easier to review every day.
How do I decide which web development terms to memorize first?
Start with the terms your instructor emphasizes or that appear in your assignments, then add cards as each new topic comes up. Reviewing a small, current deck is more consistent than a large one you never open.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, on the Plus plan, which also includes CSV, PDF and DOCX export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Do I need to install anything or clone a GitHub repository?
No. DeckOwl runs in your browser and you can start without a credit card. You only need to upload your files.
