Turn your notes into Anki cards with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl drafts question-and-answer flashcards from your own material and schedules reviews with spaced repetition.
Why generate Anki cards with AI instead of typing them
Writing Anki cards by hand from a long lecture deck takes longer than the studying itself, so many students skip it. An AI Anki card generator reads your own material and drafts the cards for you, so you spend your time reviewing instead of copying.
- Accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and images of pages
- Spaced repetition scheduling built into every deck
- Export to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX on the Plus plan
- Free plan includes 3 generations a month with no credit card needed
Reads your files
Accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and images of pages, which are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Every deck is scheduled so you review cards just before you are likely to forget them.
Export when you need to
Plus and Pro export to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX, so your cards can move into the tools you already use.
How it works
Upload your material
Drop in a lecture PDF, a DOCX handout, a PPTX deck, pasted notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Review the generated cards
Check the drafted flashcards, edit any that need changes, and keep the ones that match your course.
Study on a schedule
Study in the browser with spaced repetition, then export the deck to Anki on a paid plan if you prefer that app.
You upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl turns the content into flashcards, quizzes and mind maps. The free plan lets you study in the browser, and the paid plans add exports and unlimited generations.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for French greetings and phrases?
Start with 15 to 25 cards for one lesson so each card stays focused. Add more only after you can recall the first set without looking at the answers.
Should I learn French greetings with flashcards or by listening?
Use both. Flashcards build recall of the exact wording, while listening practice trains how the phrases sound in real conversation.
Can I export AI-generated cards to Anki?
Yes, on the Plus plan ($99.90/year or $9.99/month) and the Pro plan ($14.99/month). The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and needs no credit card to start. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
