Turn your own notes into a printable flashcard template
Skip the blank grid. Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards you can study in the browser or print as a PDF with Plus.
Why generate your own printable flashcards
A blank grid works for a few terms, but most students need cards built from their own lecture slides and readings. DeckOwl gives you a printable flashcard template filled with questions pulled from your material, so you spend your time recalling answers instead of typing them out.
- Works with PDFs, slides, notes and photos of pages
- Cards are based on your own course material
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month
- Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF export
Cards from your material
The AI reads your PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photographed pages and writes questions based on what you actually need to learn.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back at the intervals that help memory stick, so you review the hard ones more often and the easy ones less.
Print or export on Plus
Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, so you can print a clean set or move it into another study app.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, text notes or a photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.
Review the generated cards
Check the questions and answers, then edit anything that needs fixing before you study.
Study or print
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export a printable PDF with Plus.
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or a photo of a page, and the AI generates flashcards you can review with spaced repetition in the browser. The free plan includes 3 generations per month with no exports; Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month adds unlimited generations and PDF export so you can print the set.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for ancient Egypt?
Aim for one card per distinct fact, such as a pharaoh, dynasty, building or term, rather than a fixed number. A focused set of 40 to 80 cards from one unit is usually easier to review than a huge deck.
What is the best way to memorize Egyptian dynasties?
Use cards that pair a dynasty number with its key ruler and one defining achievement, then review them in spaced sessions. Quizzing yourself on the order helps more than rereading the list.
Can I print my flashcards?
Yes, PDF export is included with Plus, which is $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
