Turn a photo of your notes into flashcards with AI
Snap a page, upload a slide deck or drop in a PDF. DeckOwl reads the text and builds flashcards you can study with spaced repetition.
How image flashcards work
Photos of textbook pages, whiteboard notes and printed handouts can become image flashcards without retyping anything. DeckOwl reads the text in each image with text recognition, then writes question-and-answer cards from the material.
- Photograph a printed page and get cards without retyping the text.
- Keep flashcards from lecture slides, PDFs and notes in one deck.
- Edit any generated card before you start studying it.
- Review due cards each day so harder items come back more often.
Photos read as text
Snap a page or whiteboard and text recognition pulls out the words to build cards from.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards return on a schedule that adjusts to what you remember and what you miss.
Works with your own files
Also accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX and plain text notes, so every source ends up in one deck.
How it works
Upload or snap
Add a photo, PDF, slide deck or text file of your notes.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards and edit any that need fixing.
Study on schedule
Work through due cards daily and let spaced repetition set the pace.
Spaced repetition then decides when each card comes back, so your time goes to the ones you miss. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser, while exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of Plus.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one textbook chapter?
Start with the key terms and definitions, then add cards where you keep missing answers. Short, focused sets are easier to review every day.
What is the best way to study Spanish present-tense verbs with flashcards?
Put the infinitive on one side and the conjugated form with its subject on the other, such as hablar and yo hablo. Keep stem-changing and irregular verbs in separate decks so the patterns stick.
Can I export image flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export to Anki is a Plus feature at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser without exports.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
