Why a free flashcard making app helps
Most students who want a free flashcard making app are tired of copying terms by hand from slides and textbooks. DeckOwl reads your own material and turns it into a deck of cards in a few minutes, so your time goes into studying.
- 3 free generations each month
- Study flashcards right in your browser

Spaced repetition
Cards come back at the right time, so terms you struggle with show up more often than the ones you already know.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a climate and weather unit?
Most chapters work well with 20 to 40 cards, each focused on one term or cause. Generate a set from your lecture slides, then remove any cards that repeat the same idea.
How do I study weather and climate terms most effectively?
Review cards in short daily sessions and rate how well you recalled each one, so spaced repetition brings hard terms back sooner. Say the answer aloud before you flip the card to check your recall.
Can I export my flashcards on the free plan?
No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, while exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the Plus plan.
Does DeckOwl work with photos of pages?
Yes. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of your notes instead of retyping them.
