Anki flashcard TSV generator

Paste a list of notes and this tool turns them into a tab-separated file that Anki's "Import File" dialog reads directly — one card per line, front and back split by a tab. It suits anyone who studies with spaced repetition and would rather paste a list than click through Anki's add-card dialog one entry at a time: vocabulary, exam facts, formulas, capital cities, anything that fits a front/back pattern.

Choose how your list separates front from back — a dash, a colon, a literal tab, or a blank line between notes when a back needs more than one line, joined with a line break inside the field. Reverse cards generate the back-to-front version of every note too, so a vocabulary list quizzes both directions without retyping it. Deck name and tags can be added as extra columns so every row already carries where it belongs once imported, and the Markdown option turns bold, italic, inline code and links into the HTML Anki renders on a card.

Duplicate checking drops any note whose front repeats an earlier one, keeping the first — useful when a list was assembled from several sources. Tabs and line breaks inside a field are converted automatically so they can't be mistaken for the column or row separator Anki's import expects, and the live tally reports notes in, cards out and duplicates removed.

Everything runs in your browser. Your notes are never uploaded, which matters for study material tied to coursework or professional exams. Copy the result straight into Anki's import dialog, or download it as a .txt file to import later.

FAQ

How do I import the result into Anki?
In Anki, choose File → Import, select the downloaded .txt file, and set the field separator to Tab. Anki will map the columns to Front, Back, and — if present — Deck and Tags.
What does the blank-line separator do?
It treats each note as a block of lines separated by a blank line: the first line becomes the front, and every following line in that block is joined into the back, useful when an answer needs more than one line.
Do reverse cards double every note?
Yes. With reverse cards on, each note produces two rows — front → back and back → front — so a vocabulary list quizzes you in both directions.
Which Markdown does the tool understand?
A small, deliberate set: **bold**, *italic*, `inline code`, and [link](url) markup, converted to the HTML tags Anki renders on a card.
Is my note list uploaded anywhere?
No. The TSV file is generated entirely in your browser — your notes never leave your device.
