Why generate your own English flashcards

Teachers and self-study learners often hunt for printable flashcards for learning English because paper cards are easy to carry and mark up. A ready-made sheet rarely matches the vocabulary or grammar your class is covering, though, so the cards end up out of step with the lesson.

Cards match the exact words and grammar points in your own lesson
Photos of printed worksheets are read with text recognition
Spaced repetition keeps older vocabulary from fading
PDF export is available on Plus, with Anki and CSV export too

Example English vocabulary and grammar flashcards

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain-text notes or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition, so a snapped worksheet works too.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know drop away, so review time goes to the words that need it.

Export your deck as a PDF, DOCX, Anki file or CSV on the Plus plan. Free accounts study in the browser.

How it works

Add your English material

Upload a unit vocabulary list, a grammar handout or a photo of a page from your book.

Check the questions and answers, then keep the ones that match what your class is covering.

Study or print

Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export a PDF on Plus to print for class or offline practice.

Upload a photo of a unit word list, a DOCX of grammar notes or a PDF of a textbook chapter, and DeckOwl writes question-and-answer cards you can review in the browser with spaced repetition. The Plus plan adds PDF export, so you can print the deck for a class or a commute.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for learning English vocabulary?

Start with 20 to 30 words from a single lesson, since small sets are easier to review every day. Add new words once you can recall most of the first set without hesitation.

What is the best way to study English grammar with flashcards?

Put one rule or pattern on the front and a short example sentence on the back. Review the card in spaced intervals so the pattern becomes automatic in speaking and writing.

Can I print my flashcards as a PDF?

Yes, PDF export is included in the Plus plan at $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, and do students get a discount?

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.
