Why build your own N5 kanji deck
Ready-made N5 decks are easy to find, but they rarely match the kanji order or example words in your own course. DeckOwl turns your materials into Anki flashcards for kanji N5 with spaced repetition built in, so the cards line up with what you are actually studying.
- Kanji on the front, meaning and readings on the back
- Example words taken from your own textbook
- Photos of pages read with text recognition
- Anki export on the Plus plan at $39 a year or $7.99 a month
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know fade into longer gaps, so your N5 kanji stay in memory.
Built from your material
Cards follow the kanji and example words in your own course, not a generic list that may skip what your teacher covers.
Export to Anki
Plus users can export the deck to Anki or CSV, so you can keep studying in the app you already use.
How it works
Upload your pages
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of the page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Check the kanji cards
Review the generated cards and remove any that don't match the characters in your course.
Study every day
Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export to Anki on the Plus plan.
Good N5 cards show one kanji on the front with a short prompt. The back holds the meaning, the common on and kun readings, and one example word, so each card tests a single character you can track over time.

Frequently asked questions
How many new kanji should I study per day for N5?
Most learners find five to ten new kanji a day easier to retain than long weekend sessions. Spaced repetition then brings older characters back before you forget them.
Should I learn the readings or the meanings first?
Start with the meaning and the most common reading, then add the other readings once the basic card feels automatic. N5 words such as 日本 and 日曜日 show how the same kanji can be read differently.
Can I export my kanji cards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 a year or $7.99 a month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Does it work with photos of my kanji textbook?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, and PDFs, DOCX, PPTX and plain notes also work. Check the generated cards against the original before you start studying.
