Moving from Quizlet to Anki? You don't need an add-on. Quizlet can export a set as plain text, and Anki can import plain text. This converter turns the export into a file Anki reads without any setup: tab separated, one card per line, with the import settings already in the file.
How to move a Quizlet set to Anki
Export from Quizlet
Open the set on quizlet.com in a browser, open the three dots menu next to the set's title, choose Export and copy the text. Keep the default separators: a tab between term and definition, a new line between cards.
Paste and download
Paste the text here. The converter counts the cards and shows the file. Click Download for Anki to save quizlet-to-anki.txt.
Import in Anki
In Anki on your computer, choose File, then Import, and pick the file. Choose the deck and note type (Basic works), check that the first field goes to Front and the second to Back, and click Import.
Example
A Quizlet export like the default in the box becomes these Anki cards.
- mitochondria
- cell organelle that produces ATP
- ribosome
- makes proteins from mRNA
- osmosis
- movement of water across a membrane
What carries over
Terms and definitions carry over as text. Images and audio don't: Quizlet's export only contains the text, so add pictures in Anki afterwards if you need them.
The file starts with two lines Anki reads as settings (#separator:tab and #html:false), so Anki 2.1.55 and later pick the right separator on their own. On an older Anki, set the field separator to Tab on the import screen.
If you exported from Quizlet with commas instead of tabs, that works too: a line with no tab is split at its first comma.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Quizlet to Anki?
Export the set from Quizlet as text, paste it here and click Download for Anki. Then in Anki choose File, Import, pick the downloaded file and click Import.
Do I need an Anki add-on?
No. Anki imports plain text files out of the box. Add-ons that pull sets straight from Quizlet tend to break when Quizlet changes its site; the export and import route doesn't depend on them.
Does it work with AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid?
Import on Anki for desktop and sync, and the cards show up on your phone. AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid can also import text files, but the steps differ by app.
I can't find Export on my Quizlet set. What now?
Quizlet decides which sets offer Export, and it isn't in the mobile app. Try the website on a computer. If the set still has no Export option, Quizlet doesn't let you download it.
Are images and audio included?
No. Quizlet's text export only has terms and definitions, so images and audio stay behind.
Is my set uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and the file is made on your device. Nothing is stored.
