Is it free to make Anki flashcards with DeckOwl?

Whether you can get free Anki flashcards comes down to two separate questions: can you make the cards without paying, and can you move them into Anki. DeckOwl's free plan lets you generate flashcards from a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page three times a month, and study them in your browser.

Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
Anki export is included with Plus, not the free plan
Plus is $9.99 a month or $99.90 a year, with unlimited generations
Students get 40% off with a school email and no credit card is needed to start

Example chemical bonding flashcards

What type of bond forms when atoms share electrons?A covalent bond, usually between nonmetals, where atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

What type of bond transfers electrons from a metal to a nonmetal?An ionic bond, which forms oppositely charged ions held together by electrostatic attraction.

What does electronegativity measure?How strongly an atom attracts the shared electrons in a chemical bond, often compared on the Pauling scale.

How many valence electrons does oxygen have?Six, so oxygen usually forms two covalent bonds to complete its octet.

What is a polar covalent bond?A shared-electron bond where electrons are pulled unevenly toward the more electronegative atom, creating partial charges.

Many input types

Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes, or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or move the deck into Anki with a Plus subscription.

Exporting to Anki is a paid feature. The Plus plan at $9.99 a month or $99.90 a year removes the generation cap and adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export along with spaced repetition. Students can get 40% off with a school email. If you are studying chemical bonding, a good first deck covers ionic versus covalent bonds, electronegativity, and polar bonds.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for chemical bonding?

Aim for one card per idea, such as each bond type, its defining feature, and a worked example. A focused deck of a few dozen cards is usually enough for one unit.

What is the easiest way to remember ionic versus covalent bonds?

Pair each bond type with its electron behavior: ionic bonds transfer electrons from a metal to a nonmetal, while covalent bonds share electrons between nonmetals. Quiz yourself in both directions so you can name the bond type from a formula or describe a formula from the bond type.

Does the free plan include Anki export?

No. Free accounts can study in the browser with 3 generations a month, and Anki export is part of the Plus plan at $9.99 a month or $99.90 a year.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. No credit card is needed to start, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
