Turn your own notes into an Anki deck for Windows
Ready-made decks often miss what your course covers. Upload your PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages and get flashcards you can export to Anki on your Windows PC.
Why build your own Anki deck for Windows
Shared Anki decks are useful starting points, but they were written for someone else's course, so the wording and coverage often drift from your lectures. A Anki deck for Windows built from your own handouts keeps the terms your instructor uses and skips the topics you have not covered yet.
- Cards come from your own PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews so hard cards come back sooner.
- Plus exports to Anki format, which imports into Anki desktop on Windows.
- Students get 40% off with a school email address.
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. The text is read and turned into flashcards that match your class.
Spaced repetition included
Cards are scheduled so you review the ones you are about to forget, whether you study in the browser or in Anki.
Export to Anki
On Plus, export your deck as an Anki file and import it into Anki desktop on Windows. Free plans study in the browser only.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or image of your notes. No credit card is needed to start.
Review the flashcards
Check the generated cards, edit any that need changes, and remove the ones you do not need.
Export and study
Export on Plus and import the file into Anki on Windows, or study right away in the browser with spaced repetition.
Start with the source you already have. A slide deck from class or a scanned page of notes can become a set of question-and-answer cards in a few minutes. Then review the cards on a regular schedule so the material stays in memory long after the exam.

Frequently asked questions
How do I study Windows keyboard shortcuts with flashcards?
Put each shortcut on the front of a card and its action on the back, such as Win+E for File Explorer. Review the cards daily in short sessions, and try pressing each shortcut on your PC when you see it.
How many cards should a Windows shortcut deck have?
Start with the 15 to 25 shortcuts you use most, then add more once those feel automatic. Smaller decks are easier to review consistently than very large ones.

Yes, exporting to Anki is included with the Plus plan at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
