Turn any PDF into flashcards you can print and study
Upload your own PDF, slides, notes or photos and get flashcards built from your material, not a generic deck.
Printable flashcards from your own PDF
Most downloadable decks were written for someone else's syllabus, so they rarely match the chapters and terms your class actually covers. A flashcards PDF made from your own reading is more useful because every card comes from the material you will be tested on.
- Cards come from your own chapters, not a generic list.
- Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews automatically.
- PDF export is included on the Plus plan.
Upload almost any file
PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, which are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards return at the right time, so review time goes to the ones you are about to forget.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, plus mind maps from the same material.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for an intro biology unit?
Make one card per key term or process rather than one per paragraph. Keep each answer to a single idea so you can recall it quickly.
Is it better to study flashcards in short daily sessions?
Usually, yes. Spaced repetition shows each card again just before you would forget it, so a short daily session tends to beat one long cram session.
Can I export my flashcards as a PDF?
Yes, PDF export is part of the Plus plan at $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 DeckOwl?
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.
