Evernote to Anki — turn exported notes into flashcards

Export your Evernote notes to HTML, upload the file, and download a .apkg deck. Headings and lists become cards.

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 export Evernote notes to Anki?

Export the note from the Evernote desktop app as HTML (select the note, right-click, Export, choose HTML). Upload the .html file to 2anki and download an .apkg deck you import into Anki.

Does 2anki read Evernote's .enex export?

Not directly — the .enex format isn't supported. Export your notes as HTML instead. If your Evernote version only offers ENEX, open the note in the web view and save it as HTML from your browser, then upload that file.

Will images from my Evernote notes come across?

Yes, when you upload them with the HTML. Exporting a note with images gives you an .html file plus an attachments folder — zip them together and upload the zip, and the images embed in the cards.

Why did my note become one card instead of many?

Cards come from structure. A note that's one long block of prose has no front/back split to work from. Break it into headings and lists, write Q: and A: lines, or use the AI mode to generate question-and-answer cards from the text.

Do I need an Anki add-on to import the deck?

No. 2anki gives you a standard .apkg file. Open it with File → Import in Anki, or double-click it, and the cards load into a new deck. It works on desktop Anki and syncs to AnkiWeb.
