Turn your notes and PDFs into new flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards you can study in the browser, with spaced repetition built in.
Why build your own new flashcards from class material
Ready-made decks rarely match the exact chapter or lecture your class is covering. DeckOwl lets you create new Quizlet-style flashcards from your own material, so the cards match what you actually need to know.
- Cards follow your source, not a generic topic list.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews for the cards you miss.
- Plus exports to Anki, CSV, PDF or DOCX for $39/year or $7.99/month.
Any source file
PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, notes or photos of pages, read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back at set intervals so you review what you are about to forget.
Export when you need it
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so new cards can move into other tools.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of your notes.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards and edit any that need changes.
Study on a schedule
Work through the deck with spaced repetition in your browser.
Each card comes from text you already have, such as lecture slides, a textbook chapter PDF or handwritten notes photographed with your phone. The Free plan includes browser study and 3 generations per month, so you can test the cards before deciding on a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one chapter?
Aim for one card per key term, definition or fact the chapter tests on, and skip repeated details. Most chapters produce a manageable set once you cut duplicates.
How do I study new flashcards most effectively?
Review them in short daily sessions and mark each card honestly, so spaced repetition brings back the ones you miss sooner. Try answering from the front before flipping the card.
Is DeckOwl free to use?
Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start.
Can I export my flashcards?
Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV is part of the Plus plan, and students with a school email get 40% off.
