Why generate your own physics flashcards

Ready-made physics flashcards are handy, but they cover someone else's syllabus wording. When you build cards from your own class notes or the topic pages you are actually studying, the questions match what your teacher and exam board will ask.

  • Works from PDFs, slides, Word files, plain notes and photos of pages
  • Creates cards for terms, formulas and definitions in one pass
  • Spaced repetition brings back cards you find difficult
  • Free plan includes 3 generations a month with browser study
Example GCSE physics flashcards
What is the SI unit of force?The newton (N), which equals 1 kg·m/s², the force needed to give 1 kg an acceleration of 1 m/s².
State Ohm's law.Voltage equals current multiplied by resistance (V = IR), for a conductor at constant temperature.
What is the formula for kinetic energy?Kinetic energy = ½mv², where m is mass in kilograms and v is speed in metres per second.
How does wavelength change as frequency increases for light?Wavelength decreases, because wave speed equals frequency multiplied by wavelength and light's speed in a vacuum is constant.
What is the difference between scalar and vector quantities?Scalars have magnitude only, such as speed, while vectors have both magnitude and direction, such as velocity.

Built from your material

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

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, so you spend your time on the physics you are still getting wrong.

Export when you need it

On Plus you can export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV, so your cards work in the app you already use.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or photo of your physics revision notes or a printed Bitesize page.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl reads the text and writes question-and-answer cards for the key terms, formulas and ideas.

Review on a schedule

Study in the browser with spaced repetition, and export to Anki or CSV on Plus when you want to take them elsewhere.

Bitesize-style material is a good source, so save the pages or notes for the topic you are on, such as forces, electricity or waves. Upload them as a PDF or a photo, and the generator turns the key terms and formulas into cards you can review in short sessions.

Keep each set to one topic so the cards stay focused. Review them regularly, let spaced repetition bring back the ones you miss, and re-generate from new notes as the course moves on.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a physics topic?

Most students find that 15 to 30 cards per topic is enough to cover the key terms, formulas and definitions without becoming a chore. You can always generate a second set from more detailed notes later.

What physics topics work best for flashcards?

Topics with clear definitions and formulas, such as units, Ohm's law, energy calculations and wave properties, suit flashcards well. Topics that depend on long explanations are better practised with quizzes or mind maps.

Can I export physics flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export to Anki is a paid feature on the Plus plan, which is $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser.

Is the free plan enough to try it?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students can get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
