Generate the full set

Works from your own material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further apart, so review time goes where it helps.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or a mind map.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.

Generate your flashcards

The AI pulls out key terms and facts and writes a question on the front and an answer on the back.

Study and review

Study in the browser on the Free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Writing cards by hand takes time, and it is easy to skip the details that show up on exams. Generating cards from the exact lecture slides or chapter you are studying keeps the deck tied to what your course actually covers.

You can also check your understanding with quizzes that include explanations for each answer, then export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan if you prefer a different review app.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a biology unit?

Start with one card per key term or fact, and split any card that has two answers. Keep the deck small enough to review in a short daily session.

How do I study flashcards effectively?

Say the answer aloud before you flip the card, and review on the days the app schedules them. Marking cards you missed keeps the hard ones coming back until you know them.

Is DeckOwl affiliated with Pippit?

No. DeckOwl is a separate AI study tool that generates flashcards, quizzes and mind maps from your own material.

Can I export my flashcards?

Yes, on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, which includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The Free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
