Turn your own notes into trivia cards with AI
Upload slides, PDFs or notes and DeckOwl writes flashcards and multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations.
Why generate trivia cards from your own material
A trivia card maker is most useful when the questions come from material you are actually studying, not from a generic pack. Upload a PDF, slides or notes and DeckOwl writes flashcards with answers you can review with spaced repetition. Ready-made trivia sets rarely match a class syllabus or the topics your quiz night will cover, so generating cards from your own text keeps the content relevant.
- Turn lecture slides or a textbook chapter into trivia-style cards in one upload.
- Check each answer against the explanation before you add a card to your review.
- Keep one fact per card so grading yourself stays honest.
- Switch between flashcards, quizzes and mind maps for the same topic.
Cards from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page, and the cards come from what you are actually studying.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so the facts you struggle with get more review time than the ones you already know.
Quizzes with explanations
Turn the same material into multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Choose cards or a quiz
Pick flashcards, a quiz or a mind map, and choose the question style that fits how you want to practice.
Study in the browser
Review on the free plan, or export to PDF, DOCX or Anki on Plus when you need a printable or portable set.
Trivia cards work best when you test recall instead of rereading. Mix question types so you practice both recognizing and producing answers, and read the explanation after each miss. Review the cards you got wrong more often than the ones you already know.

Frequently asked questions
How should I study trivia facts so they stick?
Try to answer each card before you flip it, and space your reviews over several days instead of cramming. Shuffle the order each session so you learn the fact itself, not its position in the deck.
Should trivia cards be short or detailed?
Keep each card to one fact so you can grade yourself clearly. Add a short reason on the back when the answer is easy to confuse with a similar one.
Does the free plan include exports?
No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX and Anki are available on Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month.
