Generate the full set

Reads your own material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Editable and explorable

Rename branches, move topics, and click through each level to see how domains, kingdoms, and ranks connect.

Flashcards and quizzes from the same map

Turn branches into spaced repetition flashcards or quizzes with multiple choice, true/false, and short answer questions.

How it works

Add your source

Upload your slides, a chapter PDF, or photos of your classification notes.

Generate the map

DeckOwl organizes the material into an editable mind map of main branches and sub-points.

Study the branches

Click through the map, then practice with flashcards or quizzes built from the same content.

Paste or upload lecture slides, a textbook chapter, or photos of handwritten notes. DeckOwl reads the text and arranges it into branches such as domains, kingdoms, and taxonomic ranks, which you can rename, reorder, or expand as you go.

Once the map is ready, turn the same branches into spaced repetition flashcards for ranks and traits, then test yourself with multiple choice questions that include explanations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a domain and a kingdom?

A domain is the broadest rank, and life is divided into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Kingdoms sit below domains, and Eukarya is split into kingdoms such as Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista.

How can I memorize the order of the taxonomic ranks?

Start by writing the eight ranks from domain down to species, then cover the list and rebuild it from memory. Spaced repetition helps the order stick because you are tested on it again after longer gaps.

Can I export my mind map or flashcards?

Studying in the browser is included in the free plan with 3 generations per month. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV are part of the Plus plan, which costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month.

Can I use a PDF my teacher shared?

Yes, upload the PDF and DeckOwl builds an editable mind map from its text. Scanned pages work too when they are photographed clearly.
