Get flashcards from your own notes when a Quizlet set won't do
Sharing settings belong to Quizlet, so DeckOwl turns the material you already have into a flashcard deck with spaced repetition.
Sharing a Quizlet set versus making your own
If you need to know how to make Quizlet flashcards public, the controls sit inside Quizlet, and DeckOwl cannot change them for you.
- Cards generated from your own lecture slides and notes
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
- Plus: unlimited generations with PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export
- Students get 40% off with a school email
Upload what you already have
PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages all work as input.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at expanding intervals so you review them just before you would forget.
Export on paid plans
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export so your cards can leave the browser.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a PDF, slide deck, document, text or a photo of your pages.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl builds flashcards from the content, with quizzes and mind maps if you want them.
Study with spaced repetition
Review in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki or CSV on Plus.
Many students want a deck they can keep after a course ends or pass along to classmates. A DeckOwl deck starts from your own PDFs, slides, notes or page photos, and the free plan lets you study it in the browser. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so the cards can travel with you.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for public health terms?
Start with 20 to 40 cards per chapter so each one covers a single term or concept. Cut any card that asks two things at once.
What makes a good flashcard for epidemiology?
Put one term on the front and a clear definition with a concrete example on the back. Cards that explain why a term matters tend to stick better than bare definitions.
Can I export my flashcards from DeckOwl?
Exports are a paid feature: Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan studies in the browser only.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month, and no credit card is needed to start.
