Turn your German notes into an Anki flashcard deck
Ready-made decks rarely match your textbook or teacher's word lists. DeckOwl builds flashcards from your own German material, and Plus lets you export them to Anki.
Why a custom deck beats a generic one
A German Anki deck with pictures is most useful when the words match your course, not a list chosen by someone else. Pictures help with concrete nouns like Hund or Fahrrad, but the card only works if the German term and its article are the ones your class uses.
- Use your own vocabulary lists so the deck matches your course
- Write each noun with its article, such as der, die or das
- Keep a photo of the page as a source when your notes are handwritten
- Export to Anki on Plus once you want to study outside the browser
Starts from your material
Upload a PDF, slide deck, text file or a photo of a vocabulary page, and get flashcards built from the words you actually need to learn.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you find hard come back more often, so German vocabulary and noun genders stick over the weeks before your exam.
Anki export on Plus
Export your German cards to Anki, or use PDF, DOCX and CSV, so you can study on the app you already use.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a German vocabulary unit?
Most units work well with 20 to 40 cards, so you can review each word several times before a quiz. Start with the words your teacher lists and add the rest as you go.
Should German noun genders be on the card with the noun?
Yes. Writing der, die or das with each noun helps you remember gender, and adding the plural, such as Hund and Hunde, helps with forms you will need in writing.
Can I export my German flashcards to Anki?
Yes, on the Plus plan you can export to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No, you can start on the Free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
