Flashcards generated from your own PDFs, slides, notes or page photos
Spaced repetition scheduling for review sessions
Quizzes with explanations for each answer
Free plan to study in the browser before you pay

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images so the cards match your course.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes to what you actually forget.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same source into multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, or a mind map of the main branches.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, notes file or photo of a textbook page.

Generate your cards

DeckOwl writes flashcards from the material. Free accounts get 3 generations per month.

Study and review

Study in the browser on any device, and let spaced repetition set the order of your review.

That matters most when a course does not match a public deck. Your instructor's terms, your lecture order and your own highlights are what appear on the exam, and a generic set may skip them. Generating cards from your own material keeps the review aligned with the class.

DeckOwl is not affiliated with Quizlet. If you want to move your cards into another app, Plus includes export to Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a US history exam?

Start with one card per date, term or person your instructor names. Split any card that holds more than one fact into two so each card tests a single idea.

What is the best way to review US history flashcards?

Say the answer aloud before you flip the card, then rate how well you knew it. Move missed cards back to the front of the queue so they come up again soon.

Is DeckOwl affiliated with Quizlet?

No. DeckOwl is a separate AI study tool and is not affiliated with Quizlet.

Can I export my flashcards?

Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
