A Quizlet alternative that makes flashcards from your own material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes, or a photo of a page and get flashcards with spaced repetition. Start free with 3 generations a month.
Why students compare flashcard tools
Many students want a Quizlet flashcards alternative that starts from their own lecture material instead of a shared deck written by someone else. Cards built from your slides and readings match the exact terms, dates, and names your course will test.
- Generate cards from your own PDFs, slides, notes, and photos of pages
- Review on a spaced repetition schedule instead of rereading the same deck
- Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX, or CSV on the Plus plan
- Start without a credit card, and get 40% off with a school email
Cards from your own files
Drop in PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images so nothing has to be retyped.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals where you are most likely to forget them, so review time goes to the facts you still need.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false, and short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map of the topic.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a lecture PDF, a slide deck, your typed notes, or a photo of a textbook page.
Generate and review the cards
Get flashcards in a few seconds, then edit or delete any card that does not match what your instructor taught.
Study on a spaced schedule
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki, PDF, DOCX, or CSV on Plus.
DeckOwl reads your files and writes question-and-answer cards, then schedules reviews with spaced repetition. The free plan includes 3 generations a month with browser study, and the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month adds unlimited generations and exports to Anki, PDF, DOCX, and CSV.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for the French Revolution?
Start with 20 to 30 cards per chapter, focusing on key dates, causes, and people. Add more only where you keep missing answers during review.
What should a French Revolution flashcard cover?
Write one fact per card, such as the date and significance of the Storming of the Bastille or the main aims of the Declaration of the Rights of Man. Phrase each front as a question so you have to recall the answer.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Plus also includes PDF, DOCX, and CSV export.
Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?
