Turn zipped lecture notes into flashcards with AI
Extract your zip folder, upload the PDFs, slides, notes or photos, and study the flashcards with spaced repetition in your browser.
Why a zip folder beats a generic study set
Sharing a flashcards zip file works until the deck does not match your lecture, which is why it helps to build cards from your own material.
- Upload the files from an extracted zip folder, including PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, text notes, and images.
- Get flashcards that follow the structure of your own course material.
- Review with spaced repetition so hard cards come back more often.
- Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX, or CSV on the Plus plan.
Works with your course files
Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX slides, plain text notes, or photos of pages once they are extracted from your zip.
Cards built from your material
Each flashcard comes from your own lectures and readings, so the deck matches what your exam covers.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals so review time stays focused.
How it works
Extract the zip
Unzip the folder and gather the files you need, such as slides, readings, or scanned pages.
Upload the files
Drop the PDFs, slides, notes, or images into DeckOwl. Generation takes a few moments.
Study and review
Work through the flashcards in your browser and let spaced repetition schedule your reviews.
A folder of slides and readings already holds the terms your instructor will test. Extract it, upload the files, and DeckOwl turns them into question-and-answer cards you can review in order of difficulty.
Start with the chapters due soonest, check each card against your notes, and delete any card that tests more than one idea.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one chapter?
Aim for one fact per card, usually 20 to 40 cards for a dense chapter. Cut any card that tests more than one idea.
What is the best way to memorize ZIP code regions for an exam?
Group codes by their first digit before memorizing the smaller ranges, then quiz yourself in both directions. Spaced repetition helps those groupings stick.

Yes, but exporting is a Plus feature that includes PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV formats. The free plan lets you study the flashcards in your browser only.
Is there a free plan?
