Turn your own notes into a Mehlman-style Anki deck
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards with spaced repetition. Export to Anki on a paid plan.
Why build your own deck instead of hunting for one
Some students search for a ready-made mehlman anki deck hoping it matches their course, but a deck built from your own lecture slides and readings usually fits your exam better than a generic set.
- Cards match your course materials, not someone else's emphasis
- Works with PDFs, slides, notes and photos of pages
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews for you
- Export to Anki, CSV, PDF or DOCX on a paid plan
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back at the intervals that help you retain them, so you review what you are about to forget.
Anki export
On Plus or Pro, export your flashcards to Anki and keep studying on any device you already use.
How it works
Upload your material
Add the lectures, readings or notes you need to learn, in whatever format you have them.
Generate your flashcards
DeckOwl builds a flashcard set from your content. Review the cards and edit anything you want.
Study or export
Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export to Anki if you have a paid plan.
Making cards yourself takes time, and most people skip it. Generating flashcards from your own material keeps the wording and emphasis of your instructor while cutting the typing.
Once the cards exist, spaced repetition handles the scheduling so you spend your time on the material you are actually forgetting.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for one chapter?
Aim for one card per distinct fact, definition or relationship rather than per page. Most chapters produce a manageable set once you cut repeated or trivial points.
Is it better to write my own flashcards or use a premade deck?
Writing cards forces recall and helps you learn, but generating them from your own material saves time and keeps them aligned with your course. Reviewing and editing the generated cards still makes you think about the content.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is available on the Plus and Pro plans. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month.
