View your Anki deck online by turning your notes into cards
Upload your PDFs, slides, notes, or photos of pages and get flashcards you can review right in the browser, with no install needed.
How to get a deck you can open online
Some students want to view an Anki deck online without installing the desktop app, and that is a fair goal for studying on a laptop or phone. DeckOwl does not open existing Anki files, but it can build a fresh deck from your own material. Upload a PDF, slides, notes, or a photo of a page, and the flashcards are ready to review in your browser.
- Generate from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or images of pages
- Study in the browser on the free plan with three generations a month
- Use spaced repetition to focus on the cards you keep missing
- Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX, or CSV with the Plus plan
Study in the browser
Review your flashcards on any laptop or phone without installing the desktop app.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so your review time goes to the material you find hard.
Anki export on Plus
When you want the deck in Anki itself, Plus exports it along with PDF, DOCX, and CSV.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, DOCX, plain text notes, or a photo of a page.
Generate your flashcards
The AI builds cards from your own content, which you can review and edit.
Study online
Open the deck in your browser and work through it with spaced repetition.
Cards use spaced repetition, so the ones you miss come back sooner. The free plan covers three generations a month and studying in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and Anki export if you later want the deck in the desktop app.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a cell biology unit?
Focus on one idea per card and start with the terms your instructor emphasized. Add more cards as gaps show up in your reviews.
What is the best way to study a deck I did not write?
Answer each card aloud before you flip it, then rate how hard it felt. Short daily sessions work better than one long cram session.
Do I need to install Anki to study on DeckOwl?
No. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser without installing anything. Exports are paid features.
Can I export my DeckOwl flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included with Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
