Turn any PDF or set of notes into AI flashcards
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards with spaced repetition. Nothing to install, and the free plan studies right in your browser.
Why a custom set beats a generic download
If you want a Gizmo-style flashcard download, the most useful version is a Gizmo-style AI flashcards set built from the exact pages your class uses. DeckOwl does not offer a prebuilt library to download, because a generic deck rarely matches your lecture order or your terms.
- Flashcards written from your own PDFs, slides and notes
- Spaced repetition so weak cards return sooner
- Photos of pages read with text recognition
- Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on the Plus plan
Cards from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the flashcards are written from what you actually need to learn.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes where it helps most.
Export when you need it
On Plus, take your decks out as PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV files to print, share or study in other apps.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, notes file or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Generate your flashcards
DeckOwl writes question and answer cards from your content, ready to review in the browser.
Study or export
Review with spaced repetition for free, or export your set to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus.
Start with the file you already have and generate cards from it. You can review them in the browser on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month, and move to Plus when you want unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a cell biology unit?
Start with the key terms and processes from one lecture, roughly 20 to 40 cards. Add more as you cover new material so each set stays manageable to review.
How often should I review flashcards with spaced repetition?
Review cards when they come due instead of cramming the night before. Cards you miss return sooner, and cards you know are pushed further out.
Can I download my flashcards?
Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card required.
