Make Anki cards from your own notes, PDFs and slides
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl drafts flashcards with spaced repetition, and Plus exports them to Anki.
Why generate Anki cards instead of writing them by hand
Writing Anki cards by hand works, but it can take longer than the studying itself. The faster route is to learn how to make Anki cards from your own material: upload the lecture slides or chapter, let the AI draft question and answer pairs, then fix anything that is wrong or missing.
- Start from the PDF, slides or notes you already have, not a blank card
- Keep one fact per card so each review is quick and specific
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month
- Export to Anki on Plus, where generations are unlimited
Starts from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.
Cards with spaced repetition
Review cards in the browser on a schedule that brings back the ones you are about to forget.
Export to Anki
On Plus, export your flashcards to Anki, along with CSV, PDF and DOCX.
How it works
Upload your material
Add the PDF, slides, notes or image you are studying from.
Review the draft cards
Edit, delete or keep the flashcards the AI writes from your text.
Study or export
Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export the deck to Anki on Plus.
Good cards test one fact at a time, with a clear question on the front and a short answer on the back. Keep the decks tied to the sources you actually have to learn, and review the drafts before you start so the cards match what your course emphasizes.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good Anki card for the skeletal system?
A good card asks about one fact, such as one bone, one joint type or one function. Avoid lists on the back, because a card with five answers is hard to recall in a single review.
How should I organize skeletal system cards?
Group them by region, such as the axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton, and add joints and bone functions as separate cards. Add detail over time as you review and see which items you miss.
Does DeckOwl export to Anki?
Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Can I start for free?
Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start.
