Why build your own AnKing-style deck

Many medical students start from a shared AnKing-style Anki deck because it covers high-yield topics, but a shared deck can drift from your lecture slides and your professor's emphasis.

Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition
Export to Anki and CSV on the Plus plan
Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study

Generate the full set

Your material, your cards

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. Cards are drawn from what you give it.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Cards come with spaced repetition, so reviews are timed for when you are about to forget something.

Export to Anki

Plus exports to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan keeps study in the browser.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, notes file or a photo of a printed page.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl reads the text and writes question and answer cards from it.

Study or export

Review in the browser, or export to Anki on the Plus plan.

DeckOwl works the other way around. You upload the PDFs, slides, notes or photos your course uses, and the generator writes flashcards from that text. Printed-page photos are read with text recognition.

Once the cards exist, spaced repetition schedules your reviews. Exporting to Anki requires Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, while the free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Frequently asked questions

How many cards should a medical student make per lecture?

There is no fixed number, since it depends on how dense the slides are. Many students start with the key terms, mechanisms and facts the lecture emphasizes, then add cards when review shows gaps.

How should I study with an Anki deck for USMLE prep?

Review daily in short sessions, rate cards honestly, and rewrite any card you keep missing so it tests one fact. Pair the deck with practice questions so you learn to apply what you memorize.

Can I export DeckOwl cards to Anki?

Yes, but export to Anki is a paid feature on the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Do you provide the AnKing deck itself?

No. DeckOwl is not affiliated with AnKing and does not supply its deck; it generates cards from the material you upload. Students get 40% off Plus with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
