Recreate your Anki deck online from your own notes

Why rebuild the deck instead of editing it card by card
If you want to edit an Anki deck online, the fastest route is often to go back to the material the cards came from. DeckOwl takes PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, text and images as input, not .apkg files, so regenerating from your original notes or slides is the practical path.
- Keep the original slides or notes as the single source of truth
- Check generated cards against the source before you study
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, with study in the browser
- Plus adds Anki export; Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export
Spaced repetition scheduling
Cards are scheduled with spaced repetition so review time goes to the facts you are most likely to forget.
Built from your source files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages and get a fresh set of cards from that material.
Anki export on Plus
Plus adds export to Anki, plus PDF, DOCX and CSV, for $39/year or $7.99/month.
How it works
Upload the original material
Add the slides, PDF, notes or page photos the deck was built from.
Generate new cards
DeckOwl creates flashcards with spaced repetition from that source, so wording and depth stay consistent.
Export or study
On Plus, export the set and import it into Anki. The free plan lets you study in the browser.
Building the set again from one source keeps every card on the same level of detail. Check the output against your notes before studying, and remove any card that tests trivia you will not need.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make from one lecture?
A typical lecture supports a few dozen cards, but focus on definitions, causes and comparisons rather than every sentence. Cut cards that test details you will not need on exam day.
What makes a good Anki card for memorization?
Use one fact per card, a specific question, and an answer short enough to recall in a few seconds. Cloze-style cards work well for terms inside a longer explanation.
Can I export my cards to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and study in the browser without a credit card.
