Google Sheets to Anki, by Paste

Select your cells in Google Sheets, copy, and paste directly into SheetToAnki — no export step, no file to download first.

Skip the export step entirely

Google Sheets doesn't need to be downloaded as a file at all. Select the range of cells that holds your study data, copy it with Ctrl/Cmd+C, and paste it into the text box in the converter below. Google preserves column structure using tabs when you copy, and SheetToAnki detects that automatically.

What to copy

Include your header row in the selection — for example, select from cell A1 down through the last row of data, with headers like Term and Definition in row 1. Everything below the header becomes a row of flashcard data.

Step by step

  1. Open your Google Sheet and select the header row plus all data rows.
  2. Copy with Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C on Mac).
  3. Paste into the "paste data" box in the converter below and click "Use pasted data."
  4. Map your Front and Back columns and apply any cleanup options.
  5. Preview, then download the Anki-ready CSV.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to download my Google Sheet first?+
No — copying and pasting the cells directly is the fastest path and skips the export step entirely.
What if I copy cells that include formulas?+
Google Sheets copies the displayed values, not the formulas themselves, so pasted data works the same as plain text.
Can I still upload a downloaded CSV from Google Sheets instead?+
Yes — if you'd rather export via File → Download → CSV, the same converter accepts that file directly.
Does pasted data get sent anywhere?+
No. Pasted text is parsed entirely in your browser's memory, just like an uploaded file.
