Turn your notes into Q and A flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or images and get question-and-answer flashcards with spaced repetition.
Why question-first cards help you remember
Good Q and A flashcards start with good source material. Upload your lecture slides or chapter notes, and DeckOwl writes a question on the front and the answer on the back of each card, so you practice retrieving the answer instead of rereading it.
- Questions written from your own material, not a generic deck
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text and photos of pages
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
- Plus removes the monthly limit and adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export
Upload almost anything
PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages all work as input.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals your recall needs, so review time goes to what you are forgetting.
Export when you need it
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan keeps you studying in the browser.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl writes question-and-answer flashcards from the text it finds.
Study on a schedule
Review each card when spaced repetition says it is due.
Once the cards exist, spaced repetition decides when you see each one again. Cards you know drift out to longer gaps, and the ones you miss come back sooner, which keeps your review time focused where it counts.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for the respiratory system?
Start with one card per term or process from each lecture, then add cards for anything you get wrong during review. Keep each card to a single idea so spaced repetition can schedule it well.
How should I study respiratory system flashcards?
Say the answer aloud before you flip the card, and rate how hard it felt honestly. Mix cards about structures, such as the alveoli, with cards about processes, such as how pressure changes during inhalation.
Can I upload photos of my textbook pages?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so a snapshot of a textbook page can become flashcards. Free accounts get 3 generations per month.
Do I need to pay to export my flashcards?
Yes. Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV is included with Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
