Turn German notes into flashcards you can export as CSV
Ready-made German decks rarely match the chapter you are studying. Upload your own course material and DeckOwl builds flashcards from it, with spaced repetition to help the words stick.
Why a custom German deck beats a generic CSV download
A generic deck rarely matches the vocabulary your German class actually covers. If you need German flashcards as a CSV file, a deck built from your own lessons usually serves you better than a file someone else made for a different textbook.
- Cards come from the vocabulary and grammar in your own notes or textbook.
- Store the article (der, die, das) on the noun card so gender is learned with the word.
- Photos of pages work, so you do not need a digital copy of your book.
- CSV and Anki export are included with Plus, and the free plan stays in the browser.
From your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain-text notes, or photos of textbook pages. Page photos are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back on a schedule that adjusts to what you find hard, so you spend time on the vocabulary and grammar you have not yet learned.
CSV and Anki export
On Plus, export your German deck as a CSV file or send it to Anki. The free plan keeps you in the browser with no exports.
How it works
Upload your German material
Add a vocab list, lesson PDF, slide deck, or a photo of a textbook page.
Review the generated cards
Check the fronts and backs, fix anything that does not match your course, and keep the cards you want.
Study, then export
Study in the browser with spaced repetition, and export to CSV or Anki on Plus when you want the deck elsewhere.
DeckOwl reads your material and proposes cards for the words, articles, and verb forms it contains. You can edit each card before studying, so the deck follows your syllabus rather than someone else's word list.
Spaced repetition then brings each card back at the right time. CSV export on Plus lets you keep the same deck in a spreadsheet or move it into Anki.

Frequently asked questions
How many German flashcards should I study each day?
Many learners do well with a short daily session of new cards, with spaced repetition bringing older cards back. Start with a smaller set if German grammar is new to you.
Should I memorize German articles with each noun?
Yes. Keeping der, die, or das on the same card as the noun makes gender part of the word you recall, which is easier than learning articles separately.
Can I export German flashcards to CSV for free?
No. CSV export is a Plus feature at $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and study in the browser.
Can I use photos of German textbook pages?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload them alongside PDFs, slides, or notes.
