Import from Anki

Bring Anki decks, collections, and text exports into Armin.

Updated

Open Import from Anki on the deck list, or Settings → Data → Import. Armin offers two ways in.

Recommended for large or image-heavy decks. Give the Anki file to a connected assistant with file access. It runs Armin’s converter, reports anything it couldn’t convert, and can repair or skip those cards on request. It shows you a final preview and saves only after you approve.

Assistant imports always start fresh: no Anki due dates or review history.

Choose your file and Armin reads it in your browser. The preview lists anything that won’t come across before you import.

Supported files are Anki decks (.apkg), whole collections (.colpkg), and plain-text exports (.txt, .csv, .tsv). You can optionally bring your review progress along.

What comes across

  • Each Anki deck becomes an Armin deck.
  • Basic, reversed, typed-answer, cloze, and image occlusion notes become the matching Armin card types. Other note types are rendered from their templates, or you choose which fields go on each side.
  • Images, audio, formatting, flags (as flag::<color> tags), and deck options such as desired retention and FSRS parameters.

Video, text-to-speech, card styling, and per-deck daily limits don’t come across.
