Quizlet to Anki Converter

Get the text out of Quizlet

Quizlet has an export option for sets. The exact wording may change, but generally:

• Open the set on the Quizlet website.
• Click the ⋯ menu by the set title and choose Export.
• Keep the default separators: Tab between term and definition, New line between rows.
• Click Copy text.

If Export isn't there for a particular set, check Quizlet's help center for the current rules.

Convert to an Anki deck

Paste the text into the box above. The preview shows how each line was split. If it looks wrong, export again with Tab between term and definition and a new line between cards — that format always splits cleanly. Give the deck a name and choose a card type:

• Basic – term on the front, definition on the back.
• Basic and reversed – Anki makes a card in each direction, useful for vocabulary.

Click Download .apkg. The file is built in your browser.

Import into Anki

In Anki desktop, use File → Import and choose the .apkg file, or double-click it. On AnkiDroid or AnkiMobile, open the file from your downloads or share it to the app. The deck appears under the name you chose, ready to review.

The .apkg contains ordinary Anki notes, so once imported the cards behave like any other Anki cards, including syncing through your own Anki account if you use one.

Clean up before you export

This is a good moment to fix things. In our editor you can correct typos, add images by pasting them, add tags (they carry over to Anki), or turn a definition into a cloze card using Anki-compatible {{c1::...}} syntax.

If you'd rather not use Anki at all, the same deck can be studied here with spaced repetition (FSRS, the algorithm family modern Anki uses) or printed as paper flashcards.

Why a converter and not just a CSV?

Anki can import plain text files, but you have to map fields and choose a note type each time. An .apkg file already contains the deck name, note type, and tags, so importing is one step. If you prefer CSV, you can export that too.

Common problems and fixes

• Everything ends up on one card. The separators weren't detected. Make sure you copied the text with Quizlet's default Tab and New line options, or choose the separator manually.
• Some cards are split in the wrong place. A definition probably contains the separator character. Re-export from Quizlet with a custom separator that doesn't appear in your text, such as a pipe |, and choose the same one here.
• Line breaks inside definitions are lost. Quizlet's export puts each card on one line, so multi-line definitions may be joined. Check the preview and edit if needed.
• Accents or non-Latin characters look wrong in Anki. That's rare with .apkg files, which store text as Unicode. If it happens, check the original Quizlet text.

Once the deck is in Anki, you can edit it there like any other deck. If you later want a printed version as well, the Anki to PDF page prints .apkg files directly.
