Turn your GRE prep PDFs into flashcards for 2026
Upload a prep book chapter, lecture slides or your own notes. DeckOwl's AI writes the cards, and spaced repetition brings back the ones you keep missing.
Why custom GRE flashcards beat a generic deck
Many ready-made decks online were written for a different study plan, so they include words and formulas you have already mastered and skip the ones you are struggling with. Building your own GRE flashcards from the books and notes you actually use keeps your review focused on your gaps.
- Turn prep book chapters and practice explanations into cards
- Keep vocabulary, quant formulas and reading strategies in separate decks
- Review missed cards more often with spaced repetition
- Start free with 3 generations per month and no credit card
Works from your own material
Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. The cards come from the content you already study, not a generic deck.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so review time goes to the material that needs it.
Study in the browser
Start on the free plan with no credit card. Review on any device with a browser, and export to Anki or CSV when you upgrade to Plus.
How it works
Upload your prep material
Add a PDF of a prep book chapter, a set of slides, a document or a photo of your notes.
Check the generated cards
Review the flashcards the AI made, edit any that are unclear, and remove the ones you do not need.
Study with spaced repetition
Work through the deck daily. Missed cards return more often until they stick.
A good GRE card is short and specific. Put the word, term or formula on the front and the answer or a one-sentence explanation on the back. Keep new cards to a small daily batch, since frequent short reviews are easier to sustain than one long session each week.
If you use several sources, such as a vocabulary list, a quant review chapter and practice test explanations, upload them separately so each deck stays organized by topic.

Frequently asked questions
How many new GRE flashcards should I add each day?
A small daily batch is easier to keep up with than a large weekly one. Spaced repetition works best when you review consistently, so adjust the number to the time you can give each day.
What should go on the back of a GRE vocabulary flashcard?
Include a short definition and one sentence that shows the word in context. Seeing how a word is used helps with sentence equivalence questions on the test.
Can I export my GRE flashcards?
Exports are part of the paid plans. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.
Is there a free plan, and do students get a discount?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
