Make Anki or Quizlet flashcards from your own study material
Skip building decks by hand. Upload your readings, slides or photos of pages and get flashcards you can review in the browser, with spaced repetition scheduling built in.
How to choose between Anki, Quizlet and a generator
Choosing between Anki or Quizlet flashcards usually comes down to how much time you have to build each deck by hand and how much control you want over review timing. Both kinds of tools reward careful card writing, but writing cards from a 40-page reading is slow, and most students stop before the deck covers the whole chapter.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes, or photos of pages
- Spaced repetition scheduling for flashcards in the browser
- Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV on the Plus plan
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month, with study in the browser only
Starts from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or images of pages. Text in photos is read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition included
Cards you find hard return sooner and easy ones spread out, so review time goes to the material you are most likely to forget.
Export when you need it
Plus exports to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV, so your cards can move with you if you switch tools or share a deck.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards, edit any that are unclear, and keep the ones that match your course.
Study or export
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki and other formats on Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
An AI flashcard generator takes over the first draft. You upload the material you already have, check the cards it produces, and then review them with spaced repetition so the hard ones come back more often. If you already use Anki, you can export the deck from DeckOwl Plus instead of retyping it.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for ancient Egypt?
Start with 20 to 40 cards covering one chapter, focusing on dates, rulers and terms you keep missing. Add more once the first set feels easy to recall.
How often should I review ancient Egypt flashcards?
Review new cards the same day, then let spaced repetition set the gaps between reviews. Cards you miss come back sooner, which is how the method targets weak spots.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser but does not include exports.
Is DeckOwl the same as Anki or Quizlet?
No. DeckOwl is a separate AI tool that creates flashcards, quizzes and mind maps from your PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages. Plus also includes CSV export for moving cards into other tools.
