Printable hiragana cards made from your own notes

A printed sheet of kana is a useful start, but a generic one rarely matches what your class covers. DeckOwl builds printable Japanese hiragana flashcards from the material you already have, so each card reflects your course's chart, your teacher's examples, or your own handwritten notes.

  • Cards come from your chart, not a generic list
  • Photos of worksheets are read with text recognition
  • Spaced repetition schedules the characters you miss
  • PDF export for printing is part of Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month

Cards from your own chart

Add a PDF, slide deck, photo of a worksheet or plain notes and get flashcards built from your material.

Spaced repetition

Characters you miss come back sooner, so the hiragana you struggle with gets more review.

Print or export on Plus

Plus adds PDF export for printable cards, along with Anki and CSV export.

How it works

Upload your material

Drop in a hiragana chart PDF, handwritten notes, or a photo of a page.

Generate and review

Get flashcards, then study them in the browser with spaced repetition.

Export to print

On Plus, export the set as a PDF to print, or to Anki and CSV for other apps.

Upload a PDF, slide deck, or photo of a worksheet, and the generator turns it into question-and-answer cards. Study them in the browser with spaced repetition, which brings back the characters you miss more often and spaces out the ones you know.

When you are ready to print, Plus exports the set as a PDF. Free accounts get 3 generations a month and browser study with no exports, so you can test the workflow before deciding.

Frequently asked questions

Can I print my hiragana flashcards as a PDF?

Yes, with Plus, which includes PDF export along with DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

How many hiragana should I learn per study session?

Many learners start with the five vowels and the k-row, then add a row or a few characters at a time. Keeping sessions short and reviewing daily tends to work better than long cramming sessions.

What order should I learn the hiragana in?

Most courses start with the vowels あいうえお, then the k, s and t rows. Spaced repetition helps you keep the earlier characters fresh while you add new ones.

Does DeckOwl work with photos of a hiragana chart?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of a chart or worksheet to generate cards.
