Turn your notes into digital flashcards you can study anywhere
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl drafts the flashcards so you can start studying in minutes.
Why students use digital flashcards
Most students already have their material in a PDF, a slide deck or a photo of the board, and the fastest way to get digital flashcards from it is to let DeckOwl read the file and draft the cards for you.
- Turn lecture slides into cards the same day your class covers them
- Keep one deck per course instead of scattered handwritten cards
- Study on a phone or laptop browser with no app to install
- Export to Anki or PDF on Plus when you need a offline or printable copy
Any source file
Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back at the right intervals so you review what you are about to forget, not what you already know.
Study in the browser
Start on the free plan with three generations a month and study right away, with no credit card needed.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of your textbook page.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards and edit any that need changing.
Study on a schedule
Work through the deck and let spaced repetition set when each card returns.
Cards are editable, so you can fix wording or split a crowded card into two. Spaced repetition is included on Plus, where you can also export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV if you want a printable sheet or a deck for another app.
You can start without a credit card. Students get 40% off Plus with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for French greetings and phrases?
Start with 20 to 30 cards covering the greetings you will use most, such as bonjour, merci and excusez-moi. Add a few new phrases each study session rather than the whole list at once.
How should I study French greetings with flashcards?
Put the French phrase on the front and the English meaning and a usage note on the back. Say each phrase aloud before you flip the card, and pay attention to tu versus vous.
Can I print my flashcards as a PDF?
Printable PDF export is a Plus feature, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes three generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start.
