Turn your own notes into a flashcard reviewer with spaced repetition
Upload your slides, PDFs, notes or photos of pages and DeckOwl builds flashcards from your actual material, then schedules reviews so you revisit weak cards before exam day.
Why a custom flashcard reviewer beats a generic printout
A reviewer is only useful if it covers what your class actually taught, and a generic packet often misses the exact terms on your exam. DeckOwl works as a flashcard reviewer maker that reads your own slides, PDFs or notes and turns them into cards that match your course.
- Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you forget
- Edit any generated card before you study it
- Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on the Plus plan
Built from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so handwritten-style printouts and textbook scans work too.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so your review time goes to what you are actually forgetting.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, or a mind map of the main branches.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add the slides, PDF or notes from your class. No account setup beyond a free sign-up is needed to start.
Generate your reviewer
DeckOwl reads the text and produces flashcards you can edit before you start studying.
Review on a schedule
Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.
Ready-made review sheets from the internet rarely line up with your syllabus or your professor's emphasis. Generating one from your own material keeps every card tied to what you were given, and you can delete or rewrite any card that is off.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, gives unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How do I turn class notes into a review I will actually remember?
Keep each card to one fact, term or question, and review the missed ones more often than the known ones. Spaced repetition does this scheduling for you once the cards are made.
How many flashcards should a reviewer have?
Most chapters work well with 20 to 40 cards, enough to cover the key terms without padding. Focus on definitions, causes and distinctions that an exam is likely to ask about.
Can I export my reviewer flashcards?
Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser with 3 generations per month.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students can get 40% off Plus with a school email.
