Turn your PDFs and notes into a Swanki AI flashcard deck
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. DeckOwl reads them and builds flashcards you review with spaced repetition.
How the AI flashcard generator works
Flashcards work best when they come from the exact pages your class uses. A Swanki AI flashcard generator reads your PDF, slides, notes or photos and proposes question-and-answer cards you can study right away.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images
- Flashcards with spaced repetition built in
- Quizzes and mind maps from the same material
- No credit card needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email
Built from your material
Cards come from the PDFs, slides, notes or images you upload, so they match what your class actually covers.
Spaced repetition
Each card is scheduled for review at growing intervals, so easy cards appear less often and shaky ones return sooner.
Study anywhere
Free accounts study flashcards in the browser. Plus adds exports to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of your pages.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl turns the content into question-and-answer flashcards.
Review on schedule
Study each day and let spaced repetition decide when each card comes back.
Spaced repetition schedules each card for review at increasing intervals. Cards you recall easily appear less often, and cards you miss come back sooner, so study time goes where it is needed.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, removes the generation limit and adds exports for PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for one chapter?
Aim for one fact per card, which often means 15 to 30 cards for a dense chapter. Split long lists into smaller sets so each card stays quick to answer.
How often should I review flashcards?
Short daily sessions work better than long weekly ones. Spaced repetition sets the gap for each card, so cards you miss come back sooner.
Can I export my flashcards?
Yes, the Plus plan exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Does it work with photos of notes?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition before cards are generated. Clear, well-lit photos give the most accurate cards.
