Drop a PDF and we'll pull out the text you can turn into cards.
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.
Only if the scan has a text layer (OCR). Most modern textbooks and slide exports do. If yours is a photo of a page with no text layer, run it through an OCR tool first — macOS Preview and Adobe Acrobat both do this.
Headings become deck and tag names. Bullet points and short paragraphs become card fronts; the next line or indent becomes the back. You can edit the cards in Anki after — we don't lock anything down.
Yes, but big PDFs take longer and can create huge decks. We recommend uploading one chapter at a time — easier to review, easier to share, and Anki handles 500-card decks better than 50,000-card ones.
Diagrams come across as embedded images. Equations rendered as images stay images; equations stored as text need MathJax enabled in your Anki card template to display.
