How to convert Notion to Anki flashcards

Notion stores your notes. Anki turns them into a review system. 2anki bridges the gap — you get a .apkg deck from any Notion page in under a minute.

Format your Notion page for cards

Toggle blocks are the primary card source. The toggle heading becomes the front of the card; the content inside becomes the back. Nest one level of toggles inside another to create subdecks. Strikethrough text anywhere on the page becomes a tag applied to every card in that deck.

Connect Notion and convert

Sign in to 2anki, go to the upload page, and click "Connect Notion". Authorise read access once — 2anki only reads pages you select. Paste a Notion page URL, click Convert, and download the .apkg file. Open it in Anki with a double-click.

What comes across

Images embed directly in cards. Code blocks keep their formatting. Audio files attach to the card. Equations stored as images appear as images; equations stored as LaTeX text render if MathJax is enabled in your Anki card template. Anything that cannot be fetched is replaced with a short note so the card still works.

Re-convert after editing

Paste the same page URL again to get a fresh deck reflecting your edits. For edits to sync automatically every 5 minutes without manual steps, use Auto Sync — included with Lifetime, see 2anki.net/pricing.

Use a Notion export instead

Export your Notion page as HTML (from the Notion desktop app: Export → HTML) and upload the .zip file to 2anki. This path works without an OAuth connection and supports the full export including images.
