CSV to Anki, in Under a Minute

Why convert CSV to Anki?

Most vocabulary lists, term banks, and study exports start life as a CSV file — a comma-separated table with one row per fact. Anki can technically import raw CSV already, but real-world exports are messy: extra columns, blank rows, inconsistent spacing, and header names that don't match Anki's expectations. SheetToAnki reads your CSV, lets you pick exactly which column becomes the front and back of each card, and cleans up the formatting before you ever open Anki.

What counts as a valid CSV for this tool

Any standard comma-separated file with a header row works, including files that use semicolons or tabs as a separator — the parser detects the delimiter automatically. A simple two-column example:

Step by step

1. Upload your .csv file, or paste the rows directly into the text box.
2. Confirm which column is the Front and which is the Back — SheetToAnki suggests a mapping automatically.
3. Turn on cleanup options like trimming spaces or removing duplicate rows.
4. Flip through the live card preview to spot-check your data.
5. Download sheet-to-anki.csv and import it with Anki's File → Import.
