Turn your own notes into Anki-ready flashcards with AI
Upload your slides, PDFs or notes and get a draft deck you can study in the browser or export to Anki.
How to make an AI-made Anki deck from your own notes
Most students who want AI-made Anki decks already have the material: slides, a textbook PDF, or a page of handwritten notes. The slow part is turning that material into cards you can review, and that is the part the tool handles.
- Works from slides, PDFs, Word files and photographed notes
- Free plan gives 3 generations a month, studied in the browser
- Plus adds unlimited generations and Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX export
- Students with a school email get 40% off
Reads your own files

Cards you can edit
Review the draft, fix anything the AI got wrong, and keep only the cards you need.
Export to Anki
On Plus, export your deck to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV files.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, notes or photos of pages.
Generate the deck
DeckOwl drafts flashcards from the text it finds in your files.
Study or export
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus.
DeckOwl reads PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images, including photos of pages through text recognition, then drafts flashcards you can edit before studying. The free plan lets you study those cards in the browser.
If you want the deck inside Anki, export is a Plus feature at $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. The free plan includes 3 generations a month with no exports, so you can test the output on one set of notes first.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a Greek mythology unit?
Aim for one card per name, event or fact you would need to recall, which is often 20 to 40 for a single lecture. Cards that bundle several facts are harder to review, so split them up.
What is the best way to study myths with flashcards?
Put the character or event on the front and the key outcome on the back, then add cards for relationships, such as who raised whom. Review missed cards more often than the ones you already know.
Can I export the AI-made deck to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan, which costs $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
