Review Anki flashcards on mobile, built from your own notes
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards you can review on your phone, with spaced repetition scheduling the repeats.
Why students look for mobile Anki flashcards
Many students want mobile Anki flashcards they can review on a bus or between classes, but typing a deck by hand usually takes longer than the study session itself.
- Turn lecture slides, PDFs and notes into flashcards you can review on a phone.
- Keep spaced repetition on the schedule so cards return before you forget them.
- Export to Anki on the Plus plan when you want your deck in the Anki app.
- Start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card.
Cards from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition before cards are written.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back on a schedule that adjusts to how well you remember them, so short daily sessions on your phone do more than long cramming.
Anki export on Plus
Plus exports your decks for Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV, so you can keep studying in the Anki app if you prefer it.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.
Generate and check the cards
DeckOwl writes flashcards from the content. Edit or delete any card that does not match what your course expects.
Study on your phone
Open your deck in your phone's browser and review on the spaced repetition schedule. Export to Anki on Plus when you want the Anki app.
DeckOwl starts from the material you already have. Upload lecture slides or a chapter PDF and the tool proposes flashcards with a question or term on the front and the answer on the back. You can trim the set before you study, which keeps the deck tied to what your course actually covers.
The free plan lets you study in the browser, so a deck can be opened on a phone without installing anything. Plus adds spaced repetition, unlimited generations, and exports to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV for anyone who wants their cards in the Anki app.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a mobile networking exam?
Make one card per distinct term or concept, and split any answer that takes more than a sentence into two cards. Short cards are easier to review in a few minutes on a phone.
What is the best way to review flashcards on a phone?
Short daily sessions with spaced repetition work better than long cramming, because the schedule brings cards back just before you would forget them. Keep each session short enough to finish on a commute.
Can I export my flashcards to the Anki app?
Yes, the Plus plan exports to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. It includes 3 generations per month.
