Turn your physics notes into flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl builds flashcards from your own course material and schedules reviews with spaced repetition.
Why build your own physics flashcards
Physics rewards practice more than rereading, and physics flashcards work best when they come from the same slides, problem sets and lectures your exam is based on. Ready-made decks often use different notation, units or examples than your course.
- Cards for definitions, formulas, units and worked-example steps
- Multiple choice and short answer quizzes with explanations for each answer
- Mind maps that connect kinematics, dynamics, energy and circuits
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month, with study in the browser
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of textbook pages. The text is read and turned into cards that match your course.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, and ones you know are spaced further apart, so formulas and definitions stay with you before the exam.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Switch to multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or map how concepts like force, energy and fields connect.
How it works
Upload your physics material
Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a page from your textbook.
Review the generated cards
Check the front and back of each card, then keep the ones that match what your instructor covers.
Study on a schedule
Work through the deck in the browser each day. Spaced repetition decides which cards you see next.
When you generate cards from your own files, each formula, definition and diagram label reflects what your instructor emphasized. You can start with one chapter, check the output, and then add the next unit as the term moves on.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for an intro physics unit?
A typical chapter of intro physics might yield 20 to 40 cards covering key definitions, equations and units. Start with the formulas you use most in problem sets and add conceptual questions as you go.
What should go on the front of a physics flashcard?
Put a specific question on the front, such as a named law, a variable's meaning, or a short problem setup. Keep the back to the answer with its units, so you can check yourself quickly.
Can I export physics flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan, which costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
