Why a new set beats hunting for an old one
If you are trying to edit flashcards you made in another app, a faster route is usually a fresh set built from the source material you already have. DeckOwl builds cards from your files, including PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, and photos of pages read with text recognition.
- Cards drawn from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, text notes and photos of pages
- Spaced repetition schedules the cards you miss more often
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
- Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month adds unlimited generations and Anki export
Cards from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages and get flashcards drawn from them.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you find hard come back sooner, so study time goes to the material you are still missing.
Export when you need it
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for your cards.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page.
Look over the cards
Check the generated set and set aside any card that holds more than one fact.
Study with spaced repetition
Let the schedule bring back the cards you miss most often.
Look over the generated cards before you start studying and set aside any that hold several facts at once. Spaced repetition then schedules the cards you miss more often, so your review time shifts toward the ideas that still need work.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a cell biology unit?
Split the unit into sections and keep one fact on each card so every deck stays easy to review in a single sitting. Short, focused decks you return to often work better than one very long set.
What makes a flashcard good enough to study?
A good card asks one clear question with one clear answer, such as which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP. Cards with vague prompts or several facts are worth setting aside before you start reviewing.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. The Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month includes Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX export along with unlimited generations.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start.
