Google Docs to Anki — convert docs to flashcards

Download your doc as Word or Markdown, upload it, and download a .apkg deck. Headings name decks, images embed, tables 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

Can I connect Google Docs to 2anki directly?

No. Download the doc as Word (.docx) or Markdown first — File → Download in Google Docs — then upload the file. It converts the same way as any Word or Markdown upload.

Do images from my Google Doc come across?

Yes, when you export as Word (.docx). Images embed directly in the cards. For an image-heavy doc, use the Word export rather than Markdown, which drops images.

Will a two-column table become flashcards?

Yes. A term-and-definition table converts one card per row — term on the front, definition on the back. Export as Word to keep the table structure intact.

Do I need to install an add-on in Anki?

No. 2anki produces a standard .apkg file. Double-click it in Anki and the deck imports — no add-on required.

Is Google Docs to Anki free?

The free plan covers your first 100 cards a month. Larger decks and unlimited monthly cards are on the paid plan.
