Turn your GRE vocabulary notes into flashcards you can download
Printable GRE word lists are easy to find, but they rarely match the words in your prep book or class notes. Upload your own material and DeckOwl builds flashcards from it, with spaced repetition to help the words stick.
Why build your own GRE vocabulary deck
Ready-made PDF word lists are a common starting point, but they can't match the words your own prep book, class, or practice tests actually use. GRE vocabulary flashcards made from your own material keep your review focused on the terms you will see.
- Upload your own prep book pages, notes, or word lists instead of starting from a generic PDF
- Get term-and-definition cards you can edit before studying
- Review with spaced repetition so missed words come back sooner
- Export to PDF, CSV, or Anki on Plus when you want a file to keep
Built from your own words
Upload a PDF of your prep book, a DOCX word list, slides, or a photo of handwritten vocab notes. The flashcards follow your material, not a generic list.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know fade into longer gaps, so your review time goes to the words you still need.
Download when you need it
Study in the browser on the free plan. On Plus, export to PDF for printing, CSV for spreadsheets, or Anki for other review apps.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or image of your GRE vocabulary material.
Generate your cards
DeckOwl creates flashcards with the terms on the front and definitions on the back. Edit anything that needs changing.
Study or download
Review with spaced repetition in your browser, or export the deck as a PDF, CSV, or Anki file on Plus.
Start with a short batch, such as one chapter or 50 words, and review it daily for a week. Mark the cards you miss and return to them first. Adding new words in small groups usually works better than one long list at the end of the month.
If you want a printed copy for a study group or a commute, generate the deck once, then export it as a PDF. You can also move the same cards into Anki on Plus and keep reviewing on your phone.

Frequently asked questions
How many GRE vocabulary flashcards should I study each day?
Many students find 20 to 40 new words a day manageable, depending on how much time they have. Review the cards you missed before adding new ones, since spacing out repeated reviews is what helps words stick.
What is the best way to memorize GRE vocabulary words?
Pair each word with a sentence or a context clue rather than memorizing the definition alone. Use the cards to test yourself from the word to the meaning, then the other way around.
Can I download my flashcards as a PDF?
Yes, but PDF export is a Plus feature. The free plan lets you study in the browser, with three generations per month.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students can get 40% off Plus with a school email.
