Anki Flashcard Template – Spreadsheet Format You Can Copy

The template layout

Set up your spreadsheet — in Excel, Google Sheets, or any editor — with a header row using these column names. SheetToAnki will recognize them automatically and pre-fill the mapping step.

Formatting tips before you convert

Keep one fact per row — split compound questions into separate rows.
Use the Tags column to group related cards, separated by spaces (e.g. biology chapter3).
Use the Deck column only if you want a single spreadsheet to feed multiple Anki decks at once.
Avoid merged cells — they don't translate cleanly into rows and columns.

Using the template

Copy the layout above into your own spreadsheet, replace the example rows with your material, then upload or paste it into the converter below.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to name my columns exactly "Front" and "Back"?+

No — SheetToAnki suggests a mapping based on common header names, but you can map any column to any role manually.

Can I add more than four columns?+

Yes, extra columns are simply ignored unless you map them to Tags or Deck.

Is there a limit to how many rows the template can hold?+

SheetToAnki comfortably handles thousands of rows in a single file; very large files are automatically capped for performance.

Can I reuse this template for different subjects?+

Yes — the Deck column lets one spreadsheet, and one conversion, populate several different subject decks at once.
