If you already maintain cards in Anki, you can reuse that content instead of rebuilding it by hand.

​
What you can import

The current import path is Anki plain-text export, not .apkg. Each line should contain:
  • Front text
  • One tab character
  • Back text
Comment lines starting with # and blank lines are skipped.

​
How to export from Anki

  1. In the Anki desktop app, go to File → Export.
  2. Set the export format to Notes in Plain Text (.txt).
  3. Choose the deck or note type you want to export.
  4. Export the file.

​
Import steps

1

Choose the target deck

Import into an existing deck or create a new deck as part of the import flow.
2

Provide the plain-text content

Upload or paste the tab-separated export content.
3

Run the import

The backend parses the content and imports valid lines into the chosen deck.

​
Parsing expectations

  • Valid lines are imported.
  • Comment lines are ignored.
  • Blank lines are ignored.
  • Malformed lines are reported as errors and skipped.
This docs site intentionally does not promise support for .apkg package import because the current code path documented in the repo and UI is the plain-text format.
