Move your Brainscape flashcards to Anki

Export your Brainscape deck as CSV, drop it here, get a .apkg deck that opens clean in Anki.

How it works

1. Drop your file

Notion export, PDF, Word, Markdown, or a Quizlet export.

2. 2anki builds your deck

Usually a few seconds. Bigger files take a minute.

3. Open it in Anki

Double-click the .apkg file. Your cards are ready to study.

Supported formats

What you actually get in Anki

Cloze deletions stay clickable

{{c1::...}} becomes a real Anki cloze card, not plain text.

Images render in the card

Embedded images come across and display on the front or back.

Tags carry over

Strikethrough in Notion or a tag column in CSV attaches to every card in the deck.

Correct note types

Basic, Cloze, and front/back map to the right Anki note type so import is clean.

No junk in your cards

No empty backs, no stray #, *, or $ characters left over from your notes.

Common questions

How do I get a CSV out of Brainscape?

Open the deck you own, click the deck options menu, and pick Export. Brainscape has historically gated export behind a Pro plan — confirm in your account before you rely on it.

Does this work for decks I did not make?

No. Brainscape only lets you export decks you own. Copy the cards into a deck on your own account first, then export that one.

What gets carried across?

Whatever sits in the CSV columns. Brainscape exports the question and answer text by default — those become the card front and back. Extra columns map to extra fields if your CSV has them.

Do images come across?

No. Brainscape's CSV export is text-only — images and audio stay in Brainscape. Re-add any visuals in Anki after import, or paste the image link if the CSV captured one.
