How to move flashcards between Anki and Quizlet

Moving a deck you built in Anki usually means more than copying a file, because the two apps store cards and formatting differently. The most reliable approach is to start from the source material, so you convert an Anki deck to Quizlet by generating a fresh set from the PDF, slides, or notes the deck came from. Upload those files and DeckOwl produces flashcards you can study or export.

  • Spaced repetition schedules reviews so harder cards come back sooner.
  • Free plan: 3 generations per month, with study in the browser.
  • Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month: unlimited generations and CSV, Anki, PDF, and DOCX export.
  • Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.

Flashcards from your own files

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX notes, plain text, or photos of pages and get cards with spaced repetition built in.

Quizzes with explanations

Multiple choice, true/false, and short answer questions, each with an explanation of why the answer is right.

Mind maps from the same material

Turn the same notes into a mind map to see how topics connect before you test yourself.

How it works

Paste or upload your cards

Copy the front and back of each Anki card into a text file, or upload the notes the deck came from.

Generate your study set

DeckOwl builds flashcards, quizzes, or a mind map from that material.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki, CSV, PDF, or DOCX on Plus, then import into the app you prefer.

If you only have the Anki file, copying the front and back text of each card into a plain text file gives you a usable starting point. DeckOwl reads plain text, so the cards become a new set you can review with spaced repetition, and the Plus plan lets you export a CSV to take them elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a cell structure unit?

Most units work well with 20 to 40 cards, with one idea per card so each review takes only a few seconds. Start with the terms you missed on your last quiz and add more as the unit grows.

What is the best way to move cards out of Anki into another app?

Export the cards as plain text or CSV from the original app, then check that the fronts and backs line up before importing. Images and cloze deletions often need manual cleanup.

Can DeckOwl import an Anki deck directly?

DeckOwl takes PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, and images as input, so paste the card text in as plain text instead of uploading the Anki file.

Does the free plan include exports?

No. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month with study in the browser, while CSV, Anki, PDF, and DOCX export start on Plus at $7.99 per month or $39 per year.
