Turn your reading material into printable flashcards
Pre-made sheets rarely match the passage your class is reading this week. Upload your own text and get flashcards with spaced repetition, then print them as a PDF on Plus.
Custom reading flashcards you can print
Pre-made sheets rarely match the passage your class is reading this week, so DeckOwl builds printable reading flashcards from your own PDF, DOCX, slides, notes or a photo of a page.
- Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
- Cards cover vocabulary, main ideas and inferences from your text
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews after you study in the browser
- Export to PDF on Plus to print, or to Anki and CSV
Built from your own text
Upload a PDF, DOCX, slides, notes or a photo of a page, and the generator writes cards from the material you are actually reading.
Reading-focused questions
Cards can cover vocabulary in context, main ideas, supporting details and inferences, so you practice comprehension and not just memorization.
Spaced repetition
Reviews are scheduled over time, so terms you struggle with come back more often than the ones you already know.
How it works
Upload your reading
Add the chapter, article or handout as a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or image.
Generate and review cards
Get flashcards in seconds and study them in the browser with spaced repetition.
Print when you need paper
Export the deck as a PDF on Plus and print it for class, a group or a quiet study session.
Upload the chapter or article and the generator writes question-and-answer cards covering vocabulary, main ideas and comprehension strategies. Spaced repetition then schedules reviews while you study in the browser.
Printing is a Plus feature: PDF export is included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan gives you 3 generations a month and browser study, with no exports.

Frequently asked questions
What should I focus on when making reading flashcards?
Prioritize key vocabulary, the main idea of each section, and any inference you had to work out from clues. Add cards for anything you miss on review so the deck stays focused on your weak spots.
What reading skills do flashcards work best for?
Vocabulary in context, identifying the main idea, tracking supporting details, skimming and scanning, and making inferences are all common targets. Short question-and-answer cards suit these skills well.
Can I print these flashcards?
Yes, on Plus, which includes PDF export. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser but does not include exports.
Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?
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.
