Why a flashcard app with CSV export helps

People who want their study material portable usually care whether a deck can leave the app. DeckOwl works as a flashcard app with CSV export: upload a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a page, and the AI produces cards you can review in the browser.

Exports cards as CSV on Plus, so the deck opens in a spreadsheet or another tool
Keeps spaced repetition scheduling for every card in the deck
Generates cards from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes and photos of pages
Free plan lets you study in the browser before deciding on Plus

Example CSV basics flashcards for an export-ready deck

What character usually separates fields in a CSV file?A comma, which is where the name comma-separated values comes from, because each comma marks a new column.

What does each line in a CSV file usually represent?One record, with the fields for that record in the same order on every line.

Why should a field that contains a comma be wrapped in double quotes?So the comma is read as part of the value instead of as the boundary between two columns.

What is the first row of a CSV file often used for?Column headers that name each field, such as question and answer, so the file is easier to import.

How is a double quote character stored inside a quoted CSV field?It is written twice in a row, so the parser reads the pair as one literal quote character.

Cards from your own material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or a photo of a page. Text in photos is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at spacing intervals so you review what you are about to forget, not everything at once.

CSV and Anki export on Plus

Take your deck out of the browser as a CSV file or export to Anki. PDF and DOCX export are included too.

How it works

Add your material

Upload the file or paste your notes. Photos of printed pages work as well.

Generate and review

The AI builds flashcards from the content, and you study them in the browser with spaced repetition.

Export the deck

On Plus, download the cards as a CSV file, or export to Anki, PDF or DOCX.

The export is part of the Plus plan, at $39/year or $7.99/month, which also gives unlimited generations and spaced repetition. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, but it does not include exports, so a CSV file requires Plus.

Students with a school email get 40% off, and no credit card is needed to start on the free plan.

Frequently asked questions

How should I structure a CSV file for flashcards?

Use one row per card, with a column for the question or term and a column for the answer, plus a header row naming them. Wrap any field that contains a comma in double quotes so it stays in one column.

How should I split my study time across flashcards?

Keep sessions short enough to stay focused, and review the cards that are due before adding new ones. Spaced repetition handles the timing, so you do not need to memorize a schedule.

Can I export my flashcards to CSV on the free plan?

No. CSV export is a Plus feature, along with PDF, DOCX and Anki export. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Which export formats come with Pro?

Pro includes everything in Plus and adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export, plus a stronger AI model and bulk upload.
