Why build your own Quizizz-style flashcards

Many students want the quick, game-like pace of Quizizz-style flashcards, but a ready-made deck rarely matches your lecture notes or your teacher's reading list. DeckOwl builds cards from your own material: upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX, plain notes, or a photo of a page, and it generates flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.

Flashcards built from the exact pages your course uses
Spaced repetition that brings back the cards you struggle with
Quizzes with explanations so wrong answers teach you something
Mind maps that connect causes, people, and outcomes

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for the French Revolution?

Keep each card to one fact, such as a date, a person, or a cause. Split a long unit into several smaller sets so each one is easy to finish in a session.

What should a good history flashcard include?

Put the key date, person, or term on the front and a short answer on the back. Include why it mattered, since cause and consequence questions are common on exams.

Can I take my flashcards out of the browser?

Studying in the browser is free. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki, or CSV requires Plus, which is $39/year or $7.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.

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.
