Upload a plain .txt or .md file and download a .apkg deck. Term-and-definition lines become cards you can edit in Anki.
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.
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.
Put the term and its meaning on one line, separated by ' - ' or ' = ' (a space on each side), or by a Tab. For example: 'Mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell'. Each line becomes one card.
No. A line needs a separator (' - ', ' = ', or a Tab) to split into a front and back. A prose line with no separator is skipped instead of becoming a blank card. If you have running notes, add the separator or use a bullet structure.
Yes. Wrap a word in backticks, like `photosynthesis`, or leave a blank as ___, and that line converts to a cloze card instead of a front/back card.
The filename. 'Spanish Verbs.txt' becomes a deck called Spanish Verbs. If the file starts with a Markdown heading, that heading is used instead.
No — plain text and Markdown go through the same path. A .md file also supports bullet-list cards, where a top-level bullet is the front and a nested bullet under it is the back.
