Making flashcards from NotebookLM material

Most people who ask how to make flashcards on NotebookLM already have the source material. The useful step is moving that text into a format a flashcard generator can read, so the cards come from your own notes rather than generic facts.

Keep each upload focused on one topic so the cards stay specific.
Remove cards that repeat the same fact in different words.
Review missed cards again in the same session before moving on.
Check any card that looks wrong against your original notes.

Example biology flashcards on cell structure (sample topic)

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion, through cellular respiration. Its folded inner membrane holds the electron transport chain.

What is the function of the ribosome?Building proteins by translating mRNA into a chain of amino acids.

What does the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane do?It forms a selectively permeable barrier, with hydrophilic heads facing water and hydrophobic tails facing inward.

How do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ?Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes have neither.

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus?It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport to their destinations.

Generate the full set

Works with your own material

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

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know well come back less often, so review time goes to the material you still need.

Study in the browser or export

The free plan lets you study in the browser. The Plus plan adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

How it works

Copy or export your source

Gather the notes, summaries, or source text you are working with in NotebookLM and save them as a PDF, DOCX, or plain text file.

Upload to DeckOwl

Add the file to DeckOwl and generate flashcards from it. You can also upload slides or photos of handwritten pages.

Review and study the cards

Go through the cards in your browser, mark what you got wrong, and let spaced repetition schedule the next review.

Start by pulling out the sections you need to memorize, such as definitions, dates, or steps in a process. Upload them as one file, then check the generated cards against your source before you start reviewing.

DeckOwl reads PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text, and image files, so you can keep the workflow you already use. Spaced repetition then handles the scheduling, which is the part that is hard to do by hand.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from one set of notes?

Make as many as the material needs to cover the key terms and ideas, and trim cards you already know well. Fewer, clearer cards usually work better than a long list of near-duplicates.

What is the best way to study flashcards?

Review in short sessions on a regular schedule rather than one long cram session. Spaced repetition helps by bringing back the cards you are most likely to forget.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included in the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in your browser without exports.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start.
