How a flashcard maker fits a quiz-based review

Spaced repetition schedules review based on what you miss
Quizzes with multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions plus explanations
Export to Anki or CSV on Plus, and to PDF or DOCX as well on paid plans

Generate the full set

Cards from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. The flashcards come from the content you already have, not a generic deck.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so short daily sessions do more than rereading.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map of main branches.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, a document or notes. You can also photograph a page and the text is read from the image.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl creates cards from the content. Edit any card you want to change before you start studying.

Study with spaced review

Review in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans add export to PDF, DOCX and Anki or CSV.

Flashcards work best when each card asks for one fact and the answer fits on the back. Spaced repetition then shows the cards you miss more often, so review time goes to the gaps.

You can also switch the same material into a quiz with explanations once you feel comfortable with the basics. That gives you a second check on whether the facts stick.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for World War II major events?

Start with 20 to 30 cards covering causes, key battles and turning points, then add more where you keep missing answers. A shorter deck you review daily usually sticks better than a long one you study once.

What is the best way to study dates and battles with flashcards?

Put one event on each card, with the date or place on the back, and link causes to effects across several cards. Spaced review brings back the ones you miss before you forget them.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki or CSV?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, includes unlimited generations with PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
