Turn any PDF or set of notes into flashcards with AI
Upload lecture slides, PDFs, notes or photos and study the flashcards you get back with spaced repetition.
Make flashcards from the material you already have
Your lecture slides, textbook chapters and scanned handouts already contain the facts you need to study. An AI flashcard generator reads those files and turns them into question and answer cards you can review in short sessions.
- Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images
- Flashcards with spaced repetition for daily review
- Quizzes with explanations and mind maps from the same source
- Students get 40% off with a school email
Works with your own files
Drop in PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so handouts count too.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know are spaced further apart so your review time goes where it helps.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same material into multiple choice, true or 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 photos of a page. No credit card is needed to start.
Review the generated cards
Check the flashcards DeckOwl creates, edit anything that looks off, and remove cards you do not need.
Study on a schedule
Review each day in short sessions. Spaced repetition decides which cards show up next.
DeckOwl reads PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images, including photos of pages, using text recognition. Cards are scheduled with spaced repetition, so the ones you miss come back sooner.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for $39/year or $7.99/month.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a cell biology unit?
Aim for one card per distinct term or process, which often means a few dozen cards per chapter. Cut cards that repeat the same idea in different words.
What is the best way to study cell biology flashcards?
Review cards in short daily sessions and say the answer aloud before flipping the card. Spacing reviews over several days works better than one long cram session.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, on the Plus plan, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
