Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Free makes 3 decks a month from files up to 15 pages. Pro ($7.99 a month) makes 50 decks a month from files up to 100 pages. Downloading to Anki is never paywalled.
How messy can my handwriting be?
If a friend could read it, it usually works. Each card shows the words it was made from, so a misread word is easy to spot and fix before you download.
How do I take a good photo?
One page per photo, flat, in good light, with the whole page in the frame. Phone scanner apps that make a PDF work well too.
Can I upload many photos?
Put them into one PDF (most phone scanner apps do this) and upload that, or upload a photo at a time.
Does it work with iPad notes (GoodNotes, Notability)?
Yes. Export the notebook as a PDF and upload it.
Can't I just use ChatGPT?
You can: paste the text, ask for cards, then copy them into Anki. Our free ChatGPT prompt tool writes a good prompt for that. What it won't do is check each card against your file or make image occlusion cards. AnkiDecks keeps a card only if its quote is really in your file, and gives you a deck that opens in Anki straight away. Using Claude? Add AnkiDecks to Claude and make decks right in the chat.
Does it work on AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid?
Yes. You download a normal .apkg deck. It opens in Anki on a computer, AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid, with no add-ons. Image occlusion cards need Anki 23.10 or newer.
