Why move from Quizlet to Anki?
Anki is free on desktop and Android, works offline and schedules reviews with spaced repetition: each card comes back just before you would forget it. Your Quizlet sets become an Anki deck in seconds.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account or a subscription?
No. The tool does not connect to Quizlet: it reads the text you paste and builds the deck in your browser. It works with private sets too, and nothing is uploaded.
How do I open the deck?
On a computer, double-click the .apkg file (or File → Import in Anki). On Android, open it with AnkiDroid; on iPhone, with AnkiMobile. You can also study it online with Mini-Anki.
What about images or formulas?
Quizlet's export only contains text. To add images, sounds or formulas, use the Anki card generator.
My definitions span several lines
In Quizlet, choose a custom row separator (e.g. “###”), then set the same one here under “Between cards”.
A conversion example
A vocabulary set exported from Quizlet looks like this, with a tab between term and definition:
l'escalier the stairs
emprunter to borrow
une étagère a shelfPasted into the tool, it gives three cards, shown at once in the preview. Pick the deck name (“French – Unit 4”), the card type and tags, then download the .apkg file.
Which card type?
- Front → back: one card per line; ideal for recognising a word or definition.
- Front → back and back → front: two cards per line. For languages, this is what really trains you: understanding the word and producing it.
- Type the answer: you type it and Anki compares it letter by letter; perfect for spelling and dates.
Setting separators
- Keep automatic detection: it recognises tab, comma, semicolon, dash or colon.
- If your definitions contain commas, keep Tab in the Quizlet export, otherwise a definition would be split in two.
- For multi-line definitions, choose a custom separator between cards in Quizlet (e.g.
###) and enter the same here. - Tick “Exclude duplicates” when merging several overlapping sets.
Getting started in Anki
- Limit new cards to 10–20 a day: each new card creates reviews over the following days.
- Review every day, even for 10 minutes: spaced repetition relies on regularity.
- Answer honestly (Again, Hard, Good, Easy): that is how Anki works out the right interval.
- Sync with a free AnkiWeb account to review on both computer and phone.
Going further
Quizlet's export contains text only. To add images, audio, formulas or chemistry, edit your cards with the Anki card generator. To review without installing Anki, open the deck in Mini-Anki.
