Turn your notes into Quizlet-style study sets with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl builds flashcards you can review with spaced repetition, and quizzes with explanations for every answer.
Why build the set from your own material
Most students already have what they need for a good study set sitting in a lecture PDF or a photo of a whiteboard. Making AI Quizlet-style study sets from that material takes a few minutes: upload the file, choose flashcards or a quiz, and review what comes back.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images of pages
- Get flashcards, quizzes with explanations, and mind maps
- Study in the browser on the free plan, or export on Plus
- Students get 40% off with a school email
Flashcards from any source
Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images so they can become cards.
Quizzes with explanations
Get multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions. Each one includes an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you something.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals that suit how well you remember them, so you spend time on what you are about to forget.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes, or a photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.
Choose cards or a quiz
Pick flashcards, a quiz, or a mind map. Free accounts get 3 generations per month.
Study and review
Work through the cards in your browser and let spaced repetition schedule the reviews.
Generic decks are written for someone else's course, so the terms may not match your professor's wording or the examples you covered in class. Building the set from your own notes keeps the vocabulary and emphasis aligned with what you will be tested on.
Once the cards exist, the work shifts to review. Spaced repetition brings back the items you are starting to forget, which is where most of the study time pays off.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for cell division?
Make one card per term, phase, or process, then add more for anything you keep missing in review. Cell division has a lot of overlapping vocabulary, so cards for each stage tend to work better than one long card.
What is the best way to study mitosis and meiosis side by side?
Quiz yourself in both directions: name the stage from a description, and describe the stage from its name. Pay special attention to where the two processes differ, such as crossing over and chromosome number.
Can I export my AI flashcards to Anki or a CSV file?
Yes, but exports are part of the paid Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
