Turn your hiragana charts into Anki-ready flashcards with AI
Upload a hiragana chart, worksheet, slides or photos of your notes. DeckOwl writes flashcards you can review with spaced repetition and export to Anki on Plus.
Why build your own hiragana deck
Most people learning hiragana start with a printed chart, but a chart shows every sound equally and never shows which characters you keep forgetting. Turning your own charts, worksheets or lecture slides into Anki flashcards for Japanese hiragana lets you drill the characters you actually miss.
- Cards come from the exact chart or handout your teacher uses
- Mixed hiragana and romanization so you practice recall both ways
- Spaced repetition brings back the characters you miss most
- Export to Anki on Plus if you already keep decks there
Built from your own material
Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. The text is read and turned into cards that match your course.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so look-alike characters like ね and れ get the extra practice they need.
Export to Anki
On Plus, export your deck to Anki, plus PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan keeps studying in the browser.

Frequently asked questions
How should I order hiragana flashcards when I start?
Many learners work through the gojuon rows in order, starting with the vowels a, i, u, e, o, then the k row. Add a few characters at a time so you can review them before adding more.
Which hiragana are easiest to confuse?
Pairs like ぬ (nu) and め (me), and ね (ne) and れ (re), are common mix-ups. Cards that show the character next to its sound help you tell them apart.
Can I export these flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included in Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email, and the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and study in the browser without adding a card.
