How to get Anki flashcards on your phone
Most students who want Anki flashcards on your phone start with lecture slides or a textbook chapter, not a blank deck. DeckOwl reads that material and writes the cards, so your time goes into studying instead of typing.
- Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or image files
- Review cards with spaced repetition
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
- Plus adds unlimited generations and Anki export for $39/year or $7.99/month
Any source, read for you
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the material so you do not retype it.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals that help you remember, so short daily sessions on your phone add up.
Export to Anki
Plus adds Anki export along with PDF, DOCX and CSV, so your deck can move into the Anki app.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, set of notes, or a photo of a page.
Generate your flashcards
Get a deck you can study in the browser right away, including on your phone.
Export to Anki
On Plus, send the deck to Anki and continue reviewing wherever you study.
Flashcards are studied in the browser on the free plan, which works on a phone without any export. When you want the deck inside Anki, the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month adds Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export.
