Why generate French flashcards from your own notes

Ready-made decks are fine for everyday words, but they rarely match the chapter your teacher assigned this week. A French flashcards website works best when the cards come from your own lessons, so the verb tables, vocabulary lists and grammar rules you see in class are the ones you practice.

  • Cards generated from the vocabulary and grammar in your own French course material
  • Spaced repetition that brings back the words you keep missing
  • Photos of textbook pages and handwritten notes read with text recognition
  • Free plan with 3 generations per month, Plus for unlimited generations and exports
Example French vocabulary flashcards
BonjourHello, or good morning, used during the day
How do you politely say "I would like" in French?Je voudrais, the conditional of vouloir, which sounds more polite than je veux
Present tense of avoir for jeJ'ai (I have)
Which auxiliary verb does aller use in the passé composé?Être, so it becomes je suis allé(e), with the past participle agreeing with the subject
Gender of la plage (beach)Feminine, so the indefinite article is une plage

Built from your own material

Upload a PDF chapter, a PPTX lesson or a photo of your notes. The cards cover the vocabulary and grammar from your course.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move to longer intervals, so French vocabulary sticks over weeks.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or map verb tenses and themes as a mind map.

How it works

Upload your French material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of your textbook or board notes.

Review the generated cards

Check the French terms, genders and conjugations, then edit any card before you study.

Study with spaced repetition

Study in your browser on the free plan, or export to Anki or CSV on Plus.

DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes, and photos of pages using text recognition. Each card has a question or term on the front and the answer on the back, and spaced repetition schedules reviews so you revisit weaker items more often.

Students with a school email get 40% off Plus, and the free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card needed to start.
