Get Quizlet-style flashcards from your own study material
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards with spaced repetition, so you review what you are about to forget.
Why a Quizlet-style maker should start from your own notes
Students who want a Quizlet-style flashcard maker usually already have the material: lecture slides, a textbook chapter or a page of handwritten notes. DeckOwl reads that material and turns it into cards you can study right away, instead of retyping terms by hand.
- Works from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images
- Flashcards include spaced repetition scheduling
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month
- Students get 40% off Plus with a school email
Starts from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards return on a schedule that adjusts to what you miss, so review time goes to the hard ones.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map.
How it works
Upload your material
Drop in a PDF, slide deck, notes file or photo of a page.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards and edit any that miss the point.
Study on a schedule
Study in the browser on the spaced repetition schedule. Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX exports are on paid plans.
Cards are only part of the job. Spaced repetition decides when each card comes back, so terms you already know get longer gaps while shaky ones return sooner. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study; Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for the periodic table groups?
Most students do well with one card per group name and one card per notable property, which is around 20 to 30 cards for the main groups. Start with the groups your class covers first and add more once those feel automatic.
What is the best way to study periodic table groups with flashcards?
Put the group name or a shared property on the front and examples on the back, such as alkali metals on the front and Li, Na, K on the back. Review in short daily sessions so spaced repetition can space out the repeats.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki or CSV?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
