Anki can export a deck as plain text, and Quizlet can import plain text, but Anki's export comes with header lines, quotes and HTML tags that end up on your Quizlet cards. This converter strips all of that and gives you one clean card per line, ready to paste into Quizlet's import box.

How to move an Anki deck to Quizlet

  1. Export from Anki

    In Anki on your computer, choose File, then Export. Pick Notes in Plain Text (.txt), choose the deck and export. Open the file and copy everything in it.

  2. Paste and copy

    Paste the text here. Header lines, quotes, HTML tags and sound references are removed, and each card is put on one line. Click Copy.

  3. Import in Quizlet

    On quizlet.com, create a new study set and click Import. Paste the text, keep "Between term and definition" on Tab and "Between rows" on New line, then click Import and save the set.

Example

Two notes from an Anki export with HTML in them come out like this.

mitochondria
cell organelle that produces ATP
ribosome
makes proteins from mRNA

What carries over

The first two fields of each note become the term and the definition, as plain text. Formatting (bold, colors, line breaks), images and audio don't carry over, since Quizlet's import only takes text.

Cloze notes come through with their {{c1::...}} markers, because Quizlet has no cloze cards. Notes with more than two fields lose the extra fields.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an Anki deck to Quizlet?

In Anki choose File, Export, Notes in Plain Text. Paste the file contents here, click Copy, then on Quizlet create a set, click Import and paste.

Can I upload an .apkg file?

No. An .apkg file is a packaged database, not text. Export the deck from Anki as Notes in Plain Text (.txt) and paste that instead.

Why do my Quizlet cards show HTML tags like <b> or <br>?

That happens when Anki exports with HTML included and you paste the file straight into Quizlet. Run it through this converter first and the tags are removed.

Are images and audio included?

No. Quizlet's import takes text only, so add images in Quizlet after importing if you need them.

Is my deck uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is stored.
