Turn your PowerPoint slides into flashcards with AI
Upload a .pptx deck and get reviewable flashcards built from your slide text, titles and speaker notes, then study them with spaced repetition.
Why convert slides instead of rereading them
DeckOwl works as a PowerPoint to flashcards converter that reads each slide and turns its key terms and ideas into question and answer cards. Slides are built for a live talk, so the bullet points often hold short phrases that make poor study material on their own. Turning them into direct questions forces active recall, which is the part of studying that sticks.
- Works with PPTX files, and with PDF, DOCX and plain text notes
- Reads text from photos of printed slides using text recognition
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around the cards you miss
- Plus and Pro exports cover Anki, CSV, PDF, DOCX and Moodle XML
Reads your slides directly
Upload a PPTX file and DeckOwl pulls the text from each slide so the cards match your lecture.
Review before you study
Check every generated card, edit wording, and remove anything you do not need before your first review.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you find hard come back sooner, and easy ones spread out, so you spend less time rereading slides.
How it works
Upload your deck
Add a PPTX file, or a PDF, DOCX, notes file or photo of a slide if that is what you have.
Generate and check the cards
DeckOwl writes flashcards from the slide content. Edit or delete any card that is off.
Study on a schedule
Review in the browser each day. The spaced repetition schedule shows the cards you are most likely to forget.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and in-browser study, so you can test the process on one deck before deciding on more. Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, which helps if you study in another app.
Pro adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload for a full course of decks, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for instructors who build quizzes in a learning management system.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one lecture deck?
Aim for one card per key term or idea rather than one per slide, since many slides repeat the same point. A 30-slide deck often yields a usable set of 20 to 40 cards once duplicates are removed.
Is it better to study flashcards made from slides or from a textbook?
Slides show what your instructor chose to emphasize, so they are a good starting point for exam prep. Add textbook sections for definitions and detail that the slides leave out.
Can I export the flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included with the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study the cards 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 without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
