Turn your medical terminology PDF into study flashcards
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards with spaced repetition. Export to PDF on Plus for printing.
Why a custom set beats a generic printable
Prefix and suffix lists look tidy on paper, but your course uses its own vocabulary. Most printable medical terminology flashcards pdf files cover a generic list, so they often miss the terms on your next exam.
- Root words, prefixes and suffixes split into separate cards
- Photos of glossary pages read with text recognition
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews for each term
- PDF export for printing on Plus; Anki and CSV export too
Starts from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text is read from images, so a scanned glossary works too.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals your memory needs, so terms like hepatomegaly stick past the exam.
Print-ready on Plus
Plus exports flashcards to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV, so you can print a set or import it into Anki.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a lecture PDF, a slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a glossary page.

DeckOwl splits the material into term-and-definition cards you can edit.
Study or export
Review in the browser on Free, or export a PDF on Plus.
DeckOwl takes the file you already have, such as a lecture PDF, a slide deck or a photo of a textbook glossary, and produces cards with the term on the front and the definition on the back. You can edit any card before you study.
Study in the browser on the free plan, which allows 3 generations per month. Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month removes the cap and adds PDF export for printing.

Frequently asked questions
How many medical terminology flashcards should I make for one exam?
Make one card per term your instructor covered, usually a few dozen per lecture. Start with the terms you missed on the last quiz and add new ones each session.
What is the best way to memorize medical terms?
Break each term into its root, prefix and suffix, and say the meaning aloud before flipping the card. Spaced reviews help you recall terms days later instead of cramming the night before.
Can I print my flashcards as a PDF?
Yes, but PDF export is a Plus feature, so the free plan lets you study only in the browser. Plus also exports DOCX, Anki and CSV files.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
