Turn your lecture notes into free AI flashcards with spaced repetition

How a free Anki flashcard generator fits into your study routine
Most students who search for a free Anki flashcard generator already have the notes. What takes time is turning dense slides and chapters into clear question and answer pairs. DeckOwl reads your material and drafts those cards, so you can start reviewing the same day a lecture ends.
- Works with PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
- Cards use spaced repetition so weak spots come back first
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
- Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month adds Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export
Built from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. The AI reads the text and drafts cards from what you actually studied.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the intervals your memory needs, so you spend less time rereading and more time recalling.
Export when you need it
Plus exports to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV. Start free in the browser and upgrade only when you want to move cards into Anki.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or image of your notes.
Review the generated cards
Check the front and back of each card, then edit or delete any that miss the point.
Study on a spaced schedule
Review in the browser every day. Cards you forget return sooner, and cards you know drop away.
Free use covers 3 generations a month and studying in the browser, which is enough to test the method on one course. If you want the cards inside Anki, the Plus plan adds export to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV, plus unlimited generations.
Good cards come from a clear prompt on the front and one idea on the back. Review the drafts before you study them, because the cards you edit tend to be the ones you remember.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write flashcards for Greek mythology that I will actually remember?
Keep one fact per card, with the name or event on the front and a short answer on the back. Add a second card for any myth with a clear cause and effect, so you learn the sequence as well as the names.
What should I review first when studying myths?
Start with the gods and heroes who appear most often in your notes, such as Zeus, Athena and Heracles. Then move to the stories that connect them, like the Trojan War and the labors of Heracles.
Is there a free Anki flashcard generator?
DeckOwl's free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. Exporting to Anki requires the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month.
