Cards from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages, and the flashcards are built from what you actually studied.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you find hard come back sooner, so your revision time goes on the topics you are most likely to forget.

Export to Anki

On Plus, take your biology decks into Anki or export them as PDF, DOCX or CSV for offline review.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text notes or a photo of a textbook page covering the topic you are revising.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl creates question and answer cards that you can review and edit before you start studying.

Study and export

Review with spaced repetition in the browser, or export the deck to Anki on Plus.

Writing cards by hand takes hours that could go on practice questions. DeckOwl reads your own notes or past-paper PDFs and turns the key facts into cards, then schedules reviews so the terms you keep missing come back more often.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for IGCSE biology?

Aim for one card per distinct fact or term, so a single topic such as cell transport might need 15 to 30 cards. Break long definitions into smaller questions to make recall easier.

Can I export IGCSE biology flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

How often should I review IGCSE biology flashcards?

Review new cards daily in short sessions of 15 to 20 minutes and let spaced repetition schedule the harder ones more often. Consistent short sessions work better than long cramming sessions before an exam.

Does DeckOwl work with photos of my textbook?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload them alongside PDFs or slides. The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and no credit card is needed to start.
