How AI Anki cards fit into studying
A set of AI Anki cards can start from the lecture slides you already have, so you spend less time typing and more time recalling.
- Start from PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages
- Review with spaced repetition so weak cards come back sooner
- Make one card per idea rather than one card per page
- Export to Anki on the Plus plan when you want to study there
Starts from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals you need, so you review what you are about to forget instead of rereading everything.
Export when you need it
The Plus plan exports to Anki, plus PDF, DOCX and CSV. The Free plan lets you study in the browser.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text notes or a photo of a page.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl drafts question-and-answer flashcards from the content you provided.
Study and export
Review cards with spaced repetition in the browser, or export them to Anki on the Plus plan.
Good cards come from specific material. A card that asks for one definition or one step in a process is easier to answer honestly than a card that asks for a whole chapter.
Review the generated cards before you rely on them, then edit or delete any that are wrong or too vague. Spaced repetition works best when the cards are accurate.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a physics unit on Newton's laws?
Make one card per law, definition and worked example, then trim any card that repeats another. Keep each card focused on a single idea so you can answer it in a few seconds.
What is the best way to review flashcards for physics?
Review in short sessions spread over several days rather than one long cram session. Say the answer aloud or write it out before you flip the card.
Can I export my cards to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Can I use photos of textbook pages?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload them alongside PDFs, DOCX, PPTX or plain text notes.
