Turn your French vocabulary notes into flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slides, typed notes or a photo of a textbook page. DeckOwl builds flashcards from your own material, then schedules reviews with spaced repetition.
Why make your own French basics flashcards
French basics flashcards work best when they match what you are learning this week. A ready-made deck may teach words your class skipped, or leave out the gender and verb forms your teacher stresses.
- Cards come from the exact vocabulary and grammar in your lessons.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews so you revisit words just before you forget them.
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, study in the browser.
- Plus and Pro add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV for offline practice.
Built from your material
Start from the vocabulary list, lesson handout or chapter your class actually uses, not a generic deck.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer intervals.
Photos work too
Snap a page of your French workbook and the text is read with recognition, so you can make cards without retyping.
How it works
Add your notes
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or image of your French basics material.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl pulls out terms, phrases and grammar points and turns them into front and back cards.
Review on a schedule
Study in the browser each day. Spaced repetition brings back the cards you are most likely to forget.
Building cards from your own lesson material keeps the focus on the words in front of you, such as greetings, numbers, articles and the present tense of common verbs. Review them in short daily sessions, and you will remember more than you would from one long cram night.

Frequently asked questions
How many French basics flashcards should I study each day?
Many beginners do well with 15 to 25 new cards a day, plus a review of older cards. Adjust the number based on how much time you have and how quickly the cards stick.
What should a beginner French flashcard set cover first?
Start with greetings, numbers, common everyday nouns with their articles, and the present tense of être and avoir. Add gender patterns once those feel comfortable.
Can I export my French flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Plus includes Anki export along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan lets you study cards in the browser but does not include exports.
Is DeckOwl free to use?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40 percent off Plus with a school email.
