Skip the store: turn your own notes into flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards built from your exact material, with spaced repetition to keep them stuck.
Why make your own flashcards instead of buying them
Many students type flashcards kopen when a test is close, hoping a ready-made set covers the chapter. Pre-made decks are written for a generic textbook, so they often skip your lecturer's terms and emphasis.
- Cards follow your lecture slides and textbook chapters
- Images of handwritten or printed pages are read with text recognition
- No credit card needed to start on the free plan
- Export to Anki or CSV when you upgrade to Plus
Built from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Cards match your course, not a generic set.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the right moment, so you review what you are about to forget.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or images.
Generate your flashcards
The AI pulls key terms and questions from the text.
Study on schedule
Spaced repetition shows each card when you need it. Export to Anki or CSV on Plus.
Your own notes already contain what will be on the exam. DeckOwl reads the text from your files and drafts cards from it, so you review the exact wording your course uses. You can read through the cards and study the ones that fit your course.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations, spaced repetition and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for Dutch vocabulary?
Start with one chapter or about 20 to 40 words at a time. Smaller sets are easier to review daily, and you can add more once the first batch feels stable.
Is it better to learn Dutch words in context or as isolated pairs?
Both help: a single word is easier to memorize, but a sentence shows how it is used. Try a front with a short Dutch sentence and a back with the translation and the key word.
Can DeckOwl make flashcards from my own Dutch textbook?
Yes. Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page, and flashcards are generated from that material.
Do I have to pay to export my flashcards?
Yes. The free plan lets you study in the browser, while PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are part of Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.
