Turn any PowerPoint deck into flashcards with AI
Upload your slides and get question-and-answer cards built from the key terms and points, ready for spaced repetition.
Why build cards from your own slides
Copying slide bullets into cards one at a time is slow, and most people quit halfway through. You can skip that step and make flashcards from PowerPoint slides by uploading the deck directly. DeckOwl reads the text on each slide and turns the key terms and points into question-and-answer cards.
- Upload a .pptx file directly, with no copying and pasting
- Add PDFs, DOCX files, notes or photos of pages as well
- Review and edit every card before you start studying
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
Upload the .pptx directly
Drop in the deck as it is. DeckOwl reads the text on each slide and builds cards from the terms and points that matter.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the right intervals, so you review what you are about to forget instead of everything at once.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same slides into multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, with explanations for each answer.
How it works
Upload your slides
Add a .pptx file, or a PDF export of the deck, along with any notes you took in class.
Check the cards
Review the generated flashcards and edit any that miss the point or repeat a slide title.
Study on a schedule
Work through the deck in your browser. Plus members can export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV.
If your deck includes photos of a whiteboard or printed handouts, those are read with text recognition too. Every card is yours to edit, so you can drop slide titles that add nothing and add the details your instructor stresses.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one slide deck?
Aim for one card per term, definition or cause rather than one per slide. Skip agenda and title slides, and combine cards that test the same idea.
Should I study flashcards in order or shuffled?
Shuffle them so you recall each card on its own instead of remembering its position in the deck. Spaced repetition handles the timing, so cards you miss come back sooner.
Can I export the flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus includes Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser only.
Does it accept PowerPoint files that contain images?
Yes, PPTX files are supported. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so text inside a picture can still become cards.
