Get an AnkiHub deck on Anki, or make your own from your notes
Shared AnkiHub decks are made by other students and teachers, so they only help if one matches your course. If none does, DeckOwl turns your own PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages into flashcards with spaced repetition.
Getting an AnkiHub deck versus making your own
Most people searching for AnkiHub decks want a shared set that already covers the material for their class. That works well when the deck was built from the same textbook or syllabus you use. When it was not, the cards can cover the wrong topics or skip the ones your instructor emphasizes.
- Check whether a shared deck matches your textbook edition and lecture order before you rely on it.
- Keep your AnkiHub account and add-on up to date so syncing works correctly.
- Generate flashcards from your own slides when a shared deck skips a topic your instructor tests.
- Review each new deck for wrong or outdated cards before a major exam.
Upload your own material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file, or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Flashcards are scheduled so you review the ones you are about to forget, instead of rereading everything.
Export to Anki on Plus
On the Plus plan you can export your flashcards to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV files.
How it works
Set up Anki and AnkiHub first
AnkiHub decks arrive through the AnkiHub add-on, so install Anki, add the add-on, and sign in to your AnkiHub account.
Find a deck that matches your course
Search for the deck by course or textbook name, then check the card count and the last update before you join it.
Or generate your own deck
Upload your lecture slides or notes to DeckOwl, review the generated flashcards, and export them to Anki on Plus.
A custom deck built from your own material avoids that mismatch. DeckOwl reads your slides, PDFs or notes and produces flashcards from the exact content you need to learn, scheduled with spaced repetition. You can study them in the browser on the Free plan, and export them to Anki on Plus.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for one anatomy lecture?
Aim for one card per distinct fact, such as a structure, its function, or a named nerve and its origin. Most lectures produce between 30 and 60 useful cards, and trimming duplicates helps more than adding volume.
Is spaced repetition better than rereading my notes?
For long-term recall, spaced repetition is generally more effective because you test yourself on material just before you would forget it. Rereading feels familiar but tends to produce weaker recall on exam day.
Can I export my DeckOwl flashcards to Anki?
Yes, exporting to Anki is a Plus feature, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. Plus also includes unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX and CSV export.
Is there a free plan to try this first?
Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports. No credit card is needed to start.
