Why slides make poor flashcards by hand

Most lecture decks are built for presenting, not studying, so a PPT to flashcard maker pulls the key terms and definitions out of each slide and turns them into question-and-answer cards.

  • Turns each slide's key points into front-and-back cards in minutes instead of hours
  • Accepts PPTX, PDF, DOCX, plain text and images of pages
  • Uses spaced repetition so review time goes to the cards you are most likely to forget
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month; Plus adds unlimited generations and Anki or CSV export
Example flashcards on Newton's laws of motion
What does Newton's first law state?An object stays at rest or keeps moving at constant velocity unless a net external force acts on it.
What does Newton's second law state?The net force on an object equals its mass times its acceleration, F = ma.
What does Newton's third law state?For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force, acting on a different object.
Why does a passenger lurch forward when a car brakes suddenly?Inertia: the passenger's body keeps moving at the car's original velocity until a seatbelt or the seat applies a force.
What is the weight of a 1 kg object near Earth's surface?About 9.8 N, because weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration, 1 kg × 9.8 m/s².

Reads your slides

Pulls key terms, definitions and diagram labels from PPTX files so you do not retype them.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you miss return sooner, and cards you know move out of the way, so study time goes where it is needed.

Works with mixed material

Combine slides, PDF readings, DOCX handouts, plain notes and photos of pages in one card set.

How it works

Upload your deck

Add a PPTX file, or a PDF, DOCX, notes or images of pages, from your device.

Review the generated cards

Skim the front and back of each card and remove or edit any that do not match the slide.

Study with spaced repetition

Study in the browser on the free plan, and review daily so the cards you struggle with come back on schedule.

You upload a PPTX file, and DeckOwl reads the slide text and handles images of pages with text recognition. You can combine the deck with readings or typed notes in one set, then review with spaced repetition so the cards you miss come back sooner.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for Newton's laws of motion?

Start with one card per law plus cards for key terms such as inertia, net force and action-reaction pair, which usually comes to 10 to 15 cards for one unit. Add cards for worked problems once the basic ideas feel automatic.

Should I memorize the formulas or understand the laws first?

Understand what each law says in words before memorizing F = ma, because exam questions often ask you to explain which law applies. Write one card that asks for the idea and another that asks you to apply the formula.

Can I export my slide flashcards to Anki or CSV?

Yes, but exports are a paid feature: Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan gives 3 generations per month and study in the browser.

Does it work with photos of slides or handwritten notes?

It accepts images of pages, which are read with text recognition, as well as PPTX, PDF, DOCX and plain text. Check the generated cards against the original slides, since recognition can miss small or handwritten text.
