Restart your flashcards with a fresh AI set
Upload the PDFs, slides, notes or page photos you studied from and get a new flashcard set with spaced repetition, ready to study from the first card.
How to restart flashcards without rebuilding them by hand
Sometimes the fastest way to restart flashcards is to skip the old deck and rebuild from the source you studied.
- Upload the chapter or slides you need to relearn.
- Check the generated cards against your source before studying.
- Use spaced repetition so reviews spread out over time.
- Export to Anki or CSV on a paid plan if you already use another app.
Start from your own files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages and get flashcards built from that material.
Spaced repetition schedule
Reviews are spaced over time so the restarted deck focuses on the cards you are most likely to forget.
Study free in the browser
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are on paid plans.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or images of pages.
Generate the new set
DeckOwl builds flashcards from the content you chose.
Study from card one
Start reviewing with spaced repetition. The new set begins with no old review history.
Restarting means resetting your review history so every card returns to the start of its schedule. That helps when a deck has gone stale, when you switched courses, or when you want a clean run before an exam.
DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, notes or page photos and writes new question-and-answer cards. You can study them in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki or CSV on a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I review flashcards after a long break?
Review the cards soon after returning, then let the gaps grow as you recall them correctly. Short, regular sessions work better than one long cram.
Should I restart a whole deck or only the cards I missed?
Restart only the missed cards if you already know the rest well. Restart the full set when the material has changed or you want a clean baseline.
Can I restart flashcards I made in another app?
Yes. Upload the PDF, slides or notes you studied from and DeckOwl generates a new set with spaced repetition. Exporting to Anki, CSV, PDF or DOCX requires a paid plan.
Is there a free way to restart flashcards?
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study, but not exports. Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
