Photo to Anki — turn a picture of your notes into flashcards

Upload a photo of your notes or a textbook page. AI reads the image and drafts question-and-answer cards you review before download.

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 it read my handwriting?

Legible handwriting reads well. The clearer the writing and the better the lighting, the fewer corrections you make at the review step. Every card is shown before download, so you catch any misread word before it lands in your deck.

What photo formats can I upload?

JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and HEIC/HEIF — the format an iPhone shoots by default — up to 10 MB per photo. You can take the photo with your camera or pick one from your library.

Do I get to check the cards before they go into Anki?

Yes. AI reads the photo and drafts the cards, then shows every card for review. Fix a misread word, cut a card you don't want, and keep the rest before you download the APKG file.

How many photos can I turn into cards?

Add several photos at once — one per page, or a few pages of the same topic in one go. The free plan covers 5 photos per month; paid plans lift the limit.

I have the notes as a PDF, not a photo. What then?

Use PDF to Anki instead — it reads a whole chapter in one upload, which is faster than photographing each page. Photo to Anki is for pictures: handwritten notes, a single textbook page, or a lecture slide you snapped.
