Why custom cards beat a generic deck

Plenty of sites offer printable sets of GRE physics flashcards, but a generic deck rarely matches the topics your textbook and professor stress. DeckOwl builds the set from your own material instead: upload a PDF, slides, typed notes, or a photo of a page, and it produces cards you can review on a spacing schedule.

Cards come from the exact chapters and lecture notes you are studying.
Photos of textbook pages and handwritten notes can be read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition schedules harder cards more often than easy ones.
Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser.

Example GRE physics flashcards

Gravitational potential energy near Earth's surfaceU = mgh, measured relative to a chosen reference height.

Doppler effect: what happens to observed frequency when a source approaches a listener?The observed frequency increases, which is heard as a higher pitch.

Photoelectric effect: why does brighter light not eject electrons when the frequency is below threshold?Each photon must have enough energy, which depends on frequency. Intensity only changes how many electrons are ejected.

Entropy in a reversible adiabatic processEntropy stays constant, so the process is isentropic.

Bohr model: energy of the hydrogen electron in level nE_n = -13.6 eV / n², so energy rises toward zero as n increases.

Generate the full set

Built from your sources

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know move further apart, so review time goes to what you are about to forget.

Study in the browser

The free plan lets you study generated cards right in your browser with no download. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the chapter PDF, slides, or notes you are studying for the exam.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl turns the content into question and answer cards you can edit before studying.

Review on a schedule

Study in short sessions, and let spaced repetition decide which cards come back next.

Start with the chapters you find hardest, such as electromagnetism or quantum mechanics, and generate cards for those first. Short, frequent sessions work better than long cramming blocks, because spaced repetition brings back each card just before you would forget it.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for GRE physics?

Focus on one topic at a time rather than aiming for a large total. A tight set of cards for each chapter, such as mechanics or optics, is easier to review consistently than a huge deck.

Which GRE physics topics should my cards cover?

Most undergraduate physics coverage includes classical mechanics, electromagnetism, optics and waves, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, atomic physics, and special relativity. Build cards from the sections of your own review book or course notes that match these areas.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports are paid features.

Can I export my GRE physics cards to Anki?

Yes, with the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export and unlimited generations. Students get 40% off with a school email.
