Turn your own notes into multiple choice Anki cards
Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages and get flashcards and multiple choice quizzes with spaced repetition.
Why build a multiple choice Anki deck from your own notes
A multiple choice Anki deck works best when the wrong answers come from your own course rather than a generic list. Upload your lecture slides or notes and DeckOwl drafts questions from what your class actually covered.
- Pick the right answer from plausible distractors drawn from your notes
- Keep review on schedule with spaced repetition in the browser
- Export to Anki on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month
- Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start
Multiple choice questions
Quizzes include multiple choice questions with explanations, drawn from the material you upload.
Spaced repetition
Cards return at intervals timed to when you are likely to forget them, so review stays focused.
Any source you already have
Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, and photos of pages read with text recognition.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a ready-made multiple choice Anki deck?
DeckOwl does not offer ready-made decks. You generate a custom deck from your own PDF, slides, notes, or images.
How many answer choices should a multiple choice card have?
Four is the common format, with one correct answer and three plausible distractors. Keep the distractors close in meaning so you have to think about the difference.
Which Spanish verbs should I start with in a multiple choice deck?
Start with ser, estar, tener, and ir, since they appear constantly and have irregular present-tense forms. Add regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs once the irregular ones feel stable.
Can I export my deck to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month, but without exports.
