Turn your own French word list into flashcards you can study
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a vocabulary sheet. DeckOwl builds French flashcards from your material, with spaced repetition built in.
Why a custom French deck beats a generic PDF
A generic French vocabulary flashcards PDF downloaded from the web rarely matches the chapter, unit or word list your course is using. DeckOwl starts from your own material instead, so the cards cover the exact words you need to know.
- Cards come from the vocabulary in your own file, not a generic set you have to rebuild.
- Photos of worksheets and printed pages are read with text recognition.
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with study in the browser.
- Plus and Pro remove the generation cap and add export options for printing or Anki.
Built from your own PDF
Upload a French word list, textbook chapter or scanned page and get flashcards based on the exact vocabulary your class uses.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so new French words stick without rereading the whole list.
Export when you upgrade
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so you can print your deck or move it into Anki.
How it works
Upload your file
Add a vocabulary list, notes or a photo of a page. Images are read with text recognition.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl creates front-and-back flashcards from the words and phrases in your material.
Study on a schedule
Review in the browser, and spaced repetition brings back the words you find hardest.
Upload the PDF, DOCX, slides or photos you already have and the tool pulls out the vocabulary and creates a card for each term. Review in the browser on the free plan, or upgrade to Plus to export a printable copy for a paper study session.
Spaced repetition schedules each card based on how well you recall it, so you spend less time on words you already know and more on the ones that keep slipping. Add new vocabulary each week and the deck grows with your class.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a French vocabulary unit?
Most units list somewhere between 20 and 60 words, so one card per word is a practical starting point. Split longer lists into chunks of about 20 so each session stays focused.
What is the best way to study French vocabulary flashcards?
Say each word aloud before flipping the card, then check your answer. Short daily sessions over several days work better than one long cram.
Can I get a PDF of my flashcards?
Yes, PDF export is part of the Plus plan at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Does DeckOwl work with photos of a vocabulary list?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so a picture of a worksheet can become cards. Check the cards afterward for any misread accents.
