Make Anki flashcards from your own notes, PDFs and slides
DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, notes or photos and writes flashcards with spaced repetition. Export to Anki on Plus. Free to start, no credit card needed.
A ChatGPT workflow without the copy-paste
Many students paste lecture notes into ChatGPT, ask for questions, then retype the results into Anki. How to make Anki flashcards using ChatGPT works, but it means writing prompts, checking the output and copying cards by hand each time.
- Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images
- Get flashcards with spaced repetition in the browser
- Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV on Plus
- Start free with 3 generations per month, no credit card
Reads your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text recognition handles the images.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards are scheduled for review in the browser, so you can study without setting anything up.
Export to Anki
Plus includes Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export, so your deck can go straight into the app you already use.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards and edit anything that looks off.
Export to Anki
On Plus, export the deck and import it into Anki.
DeckOwl does the same job in one step. You upload the PDF, slides or notes you already have, and it produces flashcards from that material. Each card has a question on the front and an answer on the back, and you can study them in the browser with spaced repetition.
If you want the deck in Anki, export it on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, but no exports.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make per topic?
Most people do better with short, focused decks that hold one concept per card than with one long deck covering a whole chapter. Start with the key terms from one lecture, then add cards where you keep missing answers.
Should I write my own flashcards or generate them?
Writing a few cards yourself helps you decide what matters, and generated cards save time on large amounts of material. Reviewing and editing the generated cards before studying keeps the deck accurate.
Can I export my cards to Anki?
Yes, on the Plus plan, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card and get 3 generations per month.
