Works with your files
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the right time, so you review the ones you are about to forget.
Export when you need paper
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so you can print a clean set of cards.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a lecture deck, textbook pages, class notes or an image of a page.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl drafts question and answer cards from your own content.
Study or export
Review in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF on Plus.
A blank template leaves the hard part to you: deciding what matters, writing each question, and checking accuracy. DeckOwl drafts the cards from your upload, so you spend your time reviewing and correcting instead of typing from scratch.
Printing is optional. Study in the browser on the free plan, and on Plus export to PDF when you want paper, or to Anki and CSV for other apps.

Frequently asked questions
Can I print my flashcards as a PDF?
Yes, the Plus plan lets you export your flashcards to PDF. The free plan includes browser study but does not include exports.
How many flashcards should I make for the Industrial Revolution?
Start with the key people, inventions and terms from one lesson, then add more as your notes grow. Focus on cards you still miss rather than covering everything at once.
What should the front of an Industrial Revolution flashcard show?
Put one term, person or event on the front, such as the spinning jenny or the Factory Act of 1833. Keep the back to one or two sentences explaining what it was and why it mattered.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and study in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
