Turn chemistry notes into an Anki deck you can study today
Upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes, or a photo of a textbook page. DeckOwl writes flashcards with spaced repetition, and Plus lets you export them to Anki.
Why a chemistry deck works better when it comes from your own notes
Chemistry runs on definitions, formulas and reactions that are easy to forget between lab sessions, so a chemistry Anki deck built from your own lecture slides helps you review them on a schedule. DeckOwl reads your PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages and writes question-and-answer cards you can check before studying.
- Cards are drawn from the material you upload, so the deck matches your course.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews based on how well you recalled each card.
- Photos of textbook pages are read with text recognition.
- Anki export is included on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.
Reads your own material
Works from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back on a schedule based on how well you recalled them, so reactions and definitions stay fresh.
Export to Anki
On Plus, export your chemistry cards to Anki, or to CSV, so the deck works in the app you already use.
How it works
Upload your chemistry material
Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, typed notes, or a photo of a page from your textbook.
Review the generated cards
Check the questions and answers, then edit or delete any card that tests more than one fact.
Study and export
Study with spaced repetition in the browser on the Free plan, or export the deck to Anki on Plus.
Spaced repetition shows each card again just before you would forget it, which suits chemistry's long lists of nomenclature rules and equilibrium concepts. Free accounts study flashcards in the browser, and Plus adds export to Anki so your deck moves into the app you already use.

Frequently asked questions
How many cards should a chemistry Anki deck have for one unit?
Most units work well with one card per definition, rule, or reaction type, so a single lecture often produces a few dozen cards. Split any card that tests two facts at once.
How should I study chemistry flashcards so they stick?
Answer each card out loud before flipping it, and rate how hard it felt so spaced repetition can schedule the next review. Work stoichiometry and balancing problems on paper, since recall alone will not build that skill.
Can I export my chemistry deck to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Does DeckOwl work from photos of textbook pages?
Yes, images are read with text recognition, so a photo of a page can become flashcards. Check the preview before you study, since handwriting and small print may be misread.
