Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the content so the cards match your class.

Spaced repetition

Cards are scheduled for review so the ones you miss come back more often. Plus includes the full scheduler.

PDF export

On Plus, export your flashcard set as a PDF to print for a quick review. Anki and CSV exports are included too.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or photo of a page.

Review the cards

Check the generated flashcards and edit any that need changes.

Print or study

Export a PDF on Plus to print, or study in the browser on the free plan.

Spaced repetition keeps cards on a review schedule so weak spots come back more often. Printing works well for a quick pass before an exam, while in-browser review covers the rest of the week.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for cell biology?

Start with one card per term, process or definition from each lecture or chapter. Focus on what you will be tested on, and split long answers into two cards.

What is the best way to study printed flashcards?

Shuffle the stack, answer each card out loud before flipping, and set aside the ones you miss for a second pass. Repeat the weak cards over several days rather than in one sitting.

Can I print flashcards on the free plan?

The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser but does not include exports. PDF export is part of Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month.

Do I need to start with an existing Quizlet set?

No. DeckOwl builds cards from the files and notes you upload, so you can start with your own class material.
