A practical first step before .apkg export
AI flashcard competitors emphasize PDF upload, cloze cards, image occlusion, source review, and one-click Anki deck export. The safest small step for PDF Everything is a browser-local review-and-CSV workflow: users keep control before importing cards into their own Anki setup.
Basic mode exports Front, Back, and tags fields.
Cloze mode exports cloze text, source notes, and tags.
CSV rows intentionally omit a header row so the header does not become a card.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I convert a PDF to Anki flashcards online?
- Yes. Upload a selectable PDF, review the generated cards, and export CSV rows that can be mapped to Anki Basic or Cloze note fields.
- Does this export a native .apkg deck?
- No. This first version exports CSV and Markdown. CSV is the safer browser-local step because it lets you review and map fields before importing into Anki.
- Does the PDF leave my browser?
- No. Text extraction and card preparation run in your browser for this workflow. Scanned PDFs need OCR first because there is no selectable text to extract.
- Can I make cloze deletion cards?
- Yes. Choose Cloze text mode to export rows with Anki-style cloze syntax such as {{c1::key term}}, then import them using Anki's Cloze note type.
- What PDFs work best?
- Lecture notes, exam outlines, manuals, research summaries, and textbook chapters with selectable text work best. Dense scans should go through OCR first.
