Joining Quizlet versus making your own flashcards

Most people who search to join Quizlet want a place to turn class material into practice cards. DeckOwl is a separate tool, not Quizlet, and it builds flashcards, quizzes and mind maps from the PDFs, slides, notes or photos you already have.

Works from your own PDFs, slides, notes and images
Spaced repetition schedules reviews for each card
Students get 40% off a paid plan with a school email
No credit card needed to start the free plan

Generate the full set

Starts from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Flashcards come back at the intervals that help you retain them, so review time goes to the cards you are about to forget.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or a mind map of the main ideas.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for one exam topic?

Start with the key terms, definitions and facts from each lecture, which often means 20 to 40 cards per topic. Cut any card you already know well so your review stays focused.

How often should I review flashcards with spaced repetition?

Review cards daily while an exam is near, and let the schedule push cards you miss back sooner. Cards you know well will appear less often as their intervals grow.

Is DeckOwl affiliated with Quizlet?

No. DeckOwl is an independent AI study tool and is not affiliated with Quizlet. You can create an account with DeckOwl without a credit card.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki or CSV?

Yes, on the Plus or Pro plan you can export to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
