Turn your class notes into AI flashcards that come back on schedule
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl writes the flashcards. Spaced repetition schedules each card so you review what you are about to forget.
How AI flashcards fit into studying
Students who want YouLearn-style AI flashcards usually already have a pile of lecture slides, readings and handwritten notes. The hard part is turning that material into cards that test one fact at a time.
- Flashcards generated from PDFs, slides, notes, and photos of pages
- Spaced repetition that schedules reviews based on what you recall
- Quizzes and mind maps from the same material when you want more practice
- Export to Anki or CSV on paid plans, with study in the browser on the free plan
Built from your own material
Flashcards come from the files you already have, so you study what your course actually covers.
Spaced repetition
Cards you know appear less often, and cards you miss return sooner, so review time goes where it helps.
Works from photos too
Snap a page from a textbook or whiteboard and text recognition reads it into cards.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or images of pages.
Review the generated cards
Read through the flashcards and edit any that are unclear or too broad.
Study on a schedule
Work through the day's due cards in the browser and let spaced repetition set the next review.
DeckOwl reads the file you upload and proposes question and answer pairs. You can keep the cards that matter, rewrite the ones that are vague, and study them with spaced repetition so the schedule adjusts to what you remember.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month and browser study. Paid plans add unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for one biology chapter?
Most chapters yield 20 to 40 useful cards if each one tests a single fact. Split any card that asks two questions at once.
Should I write my own flashcards or generate them?
Writing cards forces you to decide what matters, which helps learning. Generating them is faster, so a good approach is to generate a first set and then edit and reword the cards yourself.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. The Plus plan includes Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export, and the free plan allows study in the browser only.
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.
