Turn your notes into an Anki-ready deck with AI

How an anki deck converter fits into your study routine
Most people who need an anki deck converter already have the material: lecture slides, a textbook chapter, or photos of handwritten notes. DeckOwl reads those files and writes the cards for you, so you are not retyping everything line by line.
- Works from PDFs, slides, Word files, plain notes and photos of pages
- Flashcards written as short questions with direct answers
- Spaced repetition built into the browser study mode
- Export to Anki on Plus, with a 40% student discount using a school email
Starts from your own files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition, so handwritten-to-typed material still works when it is legible.
Cards built for review
Each flashcard has one question or term on the front and a concise answer on the back, which makes daily review quicker.
Export to Anki
On the Plus plan, export your generated flashcards to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan keeps studying in the browser.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.
Review the generated cards
Check the flashcards, trim anything you do not need, and keep the ones that match your course.
Export or study
Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export the deck to Anki on Plus.
Each card gets a single question on the front and a short answer on the back. That keeps review sessions quick and gives spaced repetition clean prompts to schedule. When the deck looks right, export it to Anki on the Plus plan and keep reviewing on your phone or desktop.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a unit conversion review?
Aim for one card per conversion you need to recall, such as grams to milligrams or inches to centimeters. Fewer, well-chosen cards are easier to keep up with than a long list you rarely review.
What makes a flashcard work well in Anki?
Keep one fact per card, put a specific question on the front, and keep the answer short enough to check at a glance. Cards that test a single idea tend to be easier to recall and schedule.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki for free?
Export to Anki is part of the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
