From slide deck to study deck

Lecture decks are built to be shown, not studied, so the key facts are often spread across dozens of short slides. When you upload PowerPoint to make flashcards, the tool reads each slide and turns the important facts into question and answer pairs you can review on a schedule.

  • Accepts .pptx files, PDFs, DOCX, plain notes, and images of slides
  • Cards are reviewed with spaced repetition
  • Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month
  • Export to Anki or CSV with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month
Example biology flashcards from lecture slides
What organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion, through cellular respiration. Its inner membrane holds the electron transport chain that drives most ATP synthesis.
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport to other organelles or out of the cell.
How do mitosis and meiosis differ?Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces four genetically varied haploid cells used in reproduction.
What does the sodium-potassium pump move, and in what ratio?It moves 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions in for each cycle, using ATP.
What is osmosis?The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Works with .pptx decks

Upload your PowerPoint file as it is. The slide text is read so you do not have to retype anything.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at the intervals your memory needs, so study time goes to what you are about to forget.

Exports when you need them

Plus users can export to Anki, CSV, PDF, or DOCX to study in other apps or print a handout.

How it works

Upload your deck

Add a PPTX file, or use a PDF, notes, or photos of slides.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl drafts question and answer cards from the content of each slide.

Review on schedule

Study in the browser and let spaced repetition decide what comes up next.

Check the drafts before you rely on them. Delete cards that repeat a title slide, and add cards for anything your instructor explained aloud but never put on a slide.

Keep each deck focused. Reviewing one lecture in short sessions over several days works better than one long cram before an exam.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from one lecture deck?

Start with the main terms, definitions, and processes on each slide rather than every bullet point. Most lectures give you a set you can review in short daily sessions, and you can add cards later as you spot gaps.

Should I make flashcards from every slide?

Skip title slides, agendas, and decorative images. Focus on slides that define a concept, explain a process, or list causes and effects, since those produce the most useful recall questions.

Can I export the flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan, which also includes CSV, PDF, and DOCX export. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan without adding a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
