Turn PowerPoint slides into flashcards in minutes
Upload your .pptx lecture deck and DeckOwl pulls the key terms and definitions into flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
Why turn slides into flashcards instead of retyping them
If you have ever wondered how to make flashcards from a PPT, the answer is simpler than copying every slide by hand. Lecture decks already contain the terms, definitions and examples you need, so the work is in turning them into question and answer pairs.
- Upload PPTX slides directly, along with PDFs, DOCX files, plain notes or images of pages
- Each card has a term or question on the front and the answer on the back
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews so weaker cards come up more often
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month; Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month removes the limit
Reads your slides
Upload a PPTX file and the text on each slide, including titles, bullets and notes, is read and turned into study material.
Flashcards with spaced repetition
Cards are scheduled so you see the ones you miss more often and the ones you know less often, which helps material stick.
Works with other sources too
Got a PDF handout, Word notes or a photo of the board? Upload those in the same way and build one deck from all of them.
How it works
Upload your PPT
Drag in your PowerPoint file or any other PDF, DOCX, notes or image of a page.
Review the generated cards
Check the front and back of each flashcard and edit or remove any that do not match your course.
Study on a schedule
Practice in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards that need more review.
Upload the file to DeckOwl and the AI generates cards from the content it finds. You then check the cards against your notes, fix anything unclear, and study them with spaced repetition. Free accounts get 3 generations per month and study in the browser; Plus adds unlimited generations and export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from a Spanish food vocabulary slide deck?
Most slides hold one to three useful terms, so a 20-slide deck often yields 20 to 40 cards. Keep only the words you will actually need to recall and cut any that repeat.
Should I put the Spanish word on the front or the English meaning?
Start with Spanish on the front so you practice recall, then reverse some cards to check recognition. Mixing both directions gives better results than studying one way only.
Can I export the flashcards to Anki after making them from a PPT?
Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students can get 40% off Plus with a school email.
