Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Get flashcards with spaced repetition, then export a printable PDF on Plus.
Printable flashcards from your own material

- Generate flashcards from your own PDFs, slides, notes or photos instead of retyping them.
- Export the finished set as a PDF on Plus when you want a printed copy.
- Study in the browser on the free plan with 3 generations per month.
- Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
Cards from your own material
Start from the PDFs, slides, notes or photos you already study from, so the flashcards match your course.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the right time, so you spend less effort on what you already know.
PDF and Anki export
On Plus, export your flashcards as a PDF to print, or to Anki and CSV when you want to study elsewhere.
How it works

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for Newton's laws of motion?
Keep each card to one idea, such as a single law, a definition, or one worked example. Cover all three laws first, then add cards for the problem types your course uses.
What is a good way to study Newton's laws with flashcards?
Write each law in your own words on one side and a concrete example on the other. Then practice identifying the forces in a free-body diagram so you can recognize them in new problems.
Can I export my flashcards to PDF for free?
No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports require Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students get 40% off with a school email.
