Import an Anki deck
Already learning with Anki? Bring your cards into Minki. The file stays on your device.
How to bring a deck across
- In Anki, export a deck as an .apkg file. Export a whole collection as a .colpkg file.
- Preview the file in this browser, including when you are offline. If the file picker is not there, import the file directly in Minki.
- Open Minki, go to My decks, choose Add deck (+), then Import deck, and select the same file.
- Read the card count and any notices, then choose Import cards.
What comes across
- Basic cards, including reversed cards. A reversed card becomes its own card with the sides swapped.
- Images, and audio when the file is MP3, WAV or Ogg. Playback depends on the device.
- Subdecks become sections. Tags are kept.
- A collection file with several decks becomes one Minki deck. The original decks become sections.
What is left out
- Cloze deletions and image occlusion notes are skipped. The preview names them.
- Fields Minki does not recognise are named and left out.
- Anki review history, schedules and other card templates are not imported. Imported cards start as new cards in Minki.
- SVG, video and other unsupported files are skipped.
