Why custom cards beat printable word lists

Printable French word lists are easy to find, but they rarely include the words from your own textbook unit or the vocabulary your instructor covers in class. Free French vocabulary flashcards work better when they come from the exact pages you are studying, so every card reflects your course.

  • Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page to start.
  • Keep cards tied to the vocabulary in your own course materials.
  • Review daily, since spaced repetition works best in short sessions.
  • Pair vocabulary cards with a short quiz to check that you can use the words.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the words so the cards match your course.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and words you know fade to longer gaps, so new vocabulary moves into long-term memory.

Study in the browser

The free plan includes 3 generations a month and full studying in your browser, with no app to install.

How it works

Add your vocabulary

Upload a chapter, a word list or a photo of your class handout in French.

Generate your cards

DeckOwl turns the terms and translations into flashcards with the word on one side and the meaning on the other.

Review on a schedule

Study a few minutes a day and let spaced repetition show you the words that need more practice.

Start by uploading your notes or a photo of the unit vocabulary page. Review the generated cards, delete any you do not need, and add your own. Studying a short session each day helps more than one long cram before a quiz.

If you want to take your cards elsewhere, exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the Plus plan. The free plan keeps everything available for study in the browser.

Frequently asked questions

How many French vocabulary words should I learn each week?

Many learners aim for 10 to 20 new words a week and review them daily. Start smaller if you are new to French, then add more as your recall improves.

Do French vocabulary flashcards help with verb conjugations?

Flashcards work well for single words and short phrases, so pair them with a conjugation table for verbs. Put a verb form such as 'nous allons' on the front and its infinitive and tense on the back.

Is the free plan enough to study French vocabulary?

The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV require Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month.

Can I export my French flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export to Anki is part of the Plus plan. Students get 40% off with a school email.
