Turn your PDFs and notes into Quizlet-style flashcards
Upload a chapter, lecture slides, typed notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl drafts flashcards from your own material and schedules reviews so you study what you are about to forget.
How a Quizlet-style flashcard creator works with your own notes
Studying from your own textbook chapter is different from studying a generic deck, so a Quizlet-style flashcard creator should start from your material. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes and photos of pages, then drafts cards you can review and edit.
- Generate flashcards from PDFs, slides, notes and images
- Edit or remove any draft card before studying
- Review on a spaced repetition schedule in the browser
- Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan
Works from your own files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move to longer gaps between reviews.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, or into a mind map.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Review the draft cards
Check the generated questions and answers, then edit or delete any card before you study.
Study on a spaced schedule
Work through the day's reviews in the browser and let the schedule adjust to what you miss.
Each card is scheduled with spaced repetition, so cards you miss return sooner and cards you know fade to longer gaps. Quizzes with explanations and mind maps cover the same material in other formats when you want a different kind of practice.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a fractions and decimals unit?
A good starting point is one card per rule or worked example, and you can split any card that tests two ideas into two. Keep the cards you miss and drop the ones you answer easily.
What is the fastest way to memorize decimal and fraction conversions?
Practice both directions with the same cards, starting with common ones like 0.5, 0.25 and 0.75. Review missed cards more often than the rest until they stick.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included.
Can I export flashcards to Anki or CSV?
Yes, on the Plus plan, which also includes PDF and DOCX export and unlimited generations. Students get 40% off with a school email.
