Turn your notes into AI note cards in minutes
Upload a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of a page and get flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
Why build note cards from your own material
Printable note card templates give you blank lines, but the cards that help most are the ones built from what your class actually covered. DeckOwl makes AI note cards from your own lecture notes, slides or readings, so every question matches the material you will be tested on.
- Cards come from your own notes, not a generic template
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews for you
- Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan
Reads the formats you already have
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads the photos.
Cards built from your material
Each card comes from what your class actually covered, so you study the content your exam will test.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals that help you remember them, so you spend time on what you are about to forget.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a file, paste text or snap a photo of handwritten or printed notes.
Review the generated cards
Check the front and back of each card and edit anything that needs fixing.
Study on a schedule
Work through the deck in the browser and let spaced repetition pick the next review times.
Start with one lecture. Generate the cards, read through them once, and delete any that test something you did not cover. Then study in short sessions over several days, since spaced repetition works better than one long cram before an exam.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one set of lecture notes?
Aim for one card per fact, definition or cause-and-effect pair in the notes. Split any card that tests two ideas at once so each review stays focused.
What makes a good flashcard for studying?
A good card asks one specific question on the front and gives a short, complete answer on the back. Avoid yes-or-no fronts, since they let you guess without recalling anything.
Can I export my flashcards?
Exports are a paid feature. Plus 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, and you do not need a credit card to start.
