Turn your German word lists into printable English flashcards
Upload your class vocabulary, a textbook PDF or a photo of a page, and get German-English flashcards with spaced repetition.
Why generate your own German flashcards
Most printable sheets online are generic, but the words your teacher uses are in your own class materials, so start there when you need printable German to English flashcards. Upload the vocabulary list, unit PDF or slide deck and DeckOwl builds cards with German on the front and English on the back.
- Cards drawn from your own unit vocabulary, not a generic list
- Noun articles such as der, die and das can go on the front of the card
- Spaced repetition schedules review so hard words return sooner
- Anki and CSV export on Plus for use in other study apps
Built from your own material
Upload a vocab list, textbook PDF, slide deck or a photo of a page and get German-English cards from it.
Spaced repetition included
Cards are scheduled so harder words come back more often, which works better than one long review session.
Print or export when you need paper
Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, plus Anki and CSV, so you can print a sheet or move cards into another app.
How it works
Add your vocabulary
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of your German word list.
Review the generated cards
Check the German and English pairs and fix any entries before you study or export.
Print or study
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF on Plus to print.
Printing is a paid feature. The free plan studies in the browser, while Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month adds PDF export so you can print. Photos of a textbook page also work, since images are read with text recognition.

Frequently asked questions
Can I print German to English flashcards from DeckOwl?
Yes, PDF export is available on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
How should I set up German to English flashcards for vocabulary?
Put one German word or phrase on the front, with its article for nouns, and the English meaning on the back. Review new words daily in short sessions, since spacing helps memory more than long cramming.
Does it work with photos of a German vocabulary list?
Yes, images are read with text recognition, so a photo of a page can become flashcards. Check the cards afterward for misread letters, especially umlauts.
Is there a way to try it before paying?
Yes, no credit card is needed to start on the free plan. Students get 40% off with a school email if they upgrade.
