What is an Anki flashcard maker?
An Anki flashcard maker turns your study material into cards you can import into Anki. Add a document, lecture slides, a photo of your notes, pasted text or a YouTube link, and the AI writes question and answer cards. On Pro you export them as an .apkg deck and open it in Anki on desktop, AnkiMobile or AnkiDroid. Formulas are converted to MathJax, so they render in Anki.
How to import the deck into Anki
Anki reads the exported file directly. You do not need to convert anything.
- Add your material above and generate the cards.
- Click Export for Anki (Pro). Your browser downloads a file ending in .apkg.
- Open Anki on your computer and choose File, then Import. Double-clicking the .apkg file also opens it in Anki.
- Select the file and confirm. The deck shows up in your deck list with all its cards.
- To study on your phone, sync through AnkiWeb or open the same file in AnkiMobile or AnkiDroid.
Short answers hold up better in Anki than paragraphs, because you rate each card in a few seconds. If a card asks for a list, split it into two cards before you export. Once the deck is in Anki it is a normal deck: edit the fields, add tags and set the daily limits the way you always do.

How do I import the flashcards into Anki?
Export the deck from the tool and you get an .apkg file. Open Anki on your computer, choose File, then Import, and pick the file. Double-clicking the .apkg file works too. The deck appears in your deck list with every card. You can also open the same file in AnkiMobile or AnkiDroid.
Can I make Anki cards from a PDF or lecture slides?

More questions5
Is Anki itself free?
Anki on the computer and AnkiDroid on Android are free. AnkiMobile on iPhone and iPad is a paid app. Our tool does not replace Anki. It writes the cards, and Anki schedules the reviews.
What is an AI flashcard generator?
An AI flashcard generator is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to create study flashcards from your material. It writes question and answer pairs from the key concepts, so you do not type every card yourself.
How does the AI flashcard generator work?
Add your material, pick a card count if you want one, and the AI reads the content, finds the key concepts and writes the cards. You flip through them in the viewer or export them.
What subjects can I create flashcards for?
Any subject: science and medicine, languages, history, law and more. The cards follow the material you add, so a physics chapter gives physics cards.
How many flashcards can I generate at once?
The AI typically generates 10-20 flashcards per input, depending on the amount of content.
