Turn your Windows 11 notes into Anki flashcards
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl builds flashcards with spaced repetition, and Plus lets you export them to Anki on Windows 11.
Making Anki flashcards on Windows 11 from your own material
Anki is a free desktop app that runs on Windows 11, but it does not write cards from your lecture slides for you. Anki flashcards for Windows 11 start with your material: upload the file, and DeckOwl creates the question and answer pairs. If you were hoping for a ready-made printable deck, this page is about building one from your own notes instead.
- Keep each card to one fact, such as a keyboard shortcut or a setting name.
- Check the generated cards against your slides before you export, so the wording matches your class.
- Group cards into separate decks for taskbar, settings, security and file management topics.
- Install Anki from its official site, then import the exported file on your Windows 11 PC.
Upload your own material
Drop in PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages and get cards built from them.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at spaced intervals so Windows 11 settings and shortcuts stay in memory longer.
Export to Anki on Plus
Plus exports to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV, so your deck opens in the free desktop app on your PC.
How it works
Add your source
Upload a PDF, slide deck or photo of a page from your Windows 11 course.
Generate the cards
Review the flashcards and edit any wording that does not match your class.
Study or export
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus.
Good cards for Windows 11 study are specific, with one shortcut, one setting or one term per card. Broad prompts like 'explain the Windows 11 interface' are hard to check against an answer, so split big topics into several smaller questions before you study.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a Windows 11 course?
There is no fixed number, but one card per shortcut, setting or term keeps each review quick. Start with the topics your instructor tests most and add more cards as you find gaps.
What Windows 11 topics work best as flashcards?
Keyboard shortcuts, settings locations, file management steps and security terms like TPM 2.0 work well because each has a short, checkable answer. Avoid long paragraphs from the textbook as card fronts.
Is exporting to Anki free on DeckOwl?
No, exporting to Anki is a Plus feature, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports.

Yes, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students can also get 40% off Plus with a school email.
