Need a flashcard icon? Turn your notes into study cards instead
DeckOwl builds flashcards from your own material, not stock graphics. Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and study with spaced repetition.
Icon artwork and study flashcards are different things
A flashcards icon is a picture for a slide, app or website, and it will not help you remember anything. Study flashcards come from the material you need to learn, such as lecture slides, textbook pages or your own notes.
- Turn lecture slides into question and answer cards
- Study terms from textbook photos with text recognition
- Review cards on a spaced repetition schedule
- Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on the Plus plan
Cards from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages and get flashcards written from what you actually need to learn.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at growing intervals so you review what you are about to forget, instead of rereading the whole set.
Export when you need it
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so your cards can go into print, Anki or another tool.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a document, pasted notes or an image of a page. Images are read with text recognition.
Generate your flashcards
DeckOwl turns the content into question and answer cards you can edit before studying.
Study with spaced repetition
Review cards in the browser on the free plan, and export them on Plus when you want them elsewhere.
DeckOwl reads your files and writes question and answer cards from them. Each card is scheduled with spaced repetition, so terms you miss come back sooner and the ones you know fade into longer gaps.
If you want to practice a subject like icon design, paste your notes or upload the course reading and generate cards from that. You can also create quizzes and mind maps from the same material.

Frequently asked questions
What are useful icon design terms to study with flashcards?
Good starting terms include pictogram, glyph, favicon, vector icon and skeuomorphism. Write each term on the front and its meaning on the back, then review them with spaced repetition.
How many flashcards should I make for an icon design unit?
Aim for one card per term, definition or concept you need to recall, which often means 20 to 50 for a single unit. Split large sets by topic so each review session stays short.
Can DeckOwl make flashcards from a photo of my notes?
Yes. Images of pages are read with text recognition, and the text is turned into flashcards you can review in the browser.
Is exporting flashcards free?
No. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study only.
