Turn your physics class notes into definition flashcards
Upload your lecture slides, notes or textbook PDF and get a flashcard for every term, with spaced repetition to keep them fresh.
Why build your own physics definitions set
Physics courses often define terms in their own words, so a ready-made set can miss the exact phrasing on your exam. DeckOwl reads your slides or textbook chapter and writes physics definitions flashcards from that material, with the term on the front and the definition from your class on the back.
- Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or a photo of a page
- Cards pull terms and definitions from your own wording
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you miss
- Free plan covers 3 generations a month with browser study
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or photos of pages, and get cards that use the wording your instructor used.
Spaced repetition
Cards return on a schedule based on what you miss, so you spend more time on the definitions that are harder to recall.
Study in the browser
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, notes file or a photo of a textbook page.
Review the generated cards
Check that each term has a definition that matches your course, and edit any card that does not.
Study on a schedule
Flip through the cards daily, and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you are about to forget.
Spaced repetition then brings each card back just before you are likely to forget it. Definitions stick best when you have to produce them from memory, so say the answer aloud before you flip the card.

Frequently asked questions
How do I memorize physics definitions faster?
Say the definition in your own words before checking it, then compare it with your notes. Reviewing with spaced intervals is more effective than rereading the same list in one sitting.
Should a physics definition include the equation?
Include the equation when the term is defined by one, such as work or impulse, and keep the words that explain what each symbol means. Your instructor's wording is the best guide for what to include.
Can I export physics definition flashcards?
Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan lets you study in the browser without exporting.
Is there a free plan to try it first?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and no credit card is needed to start. Students can get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
