How do you export image occlusion cards to Anki?
Export image occlusion to Anki as an .apkg file that uses Anki's own Image Occlusion note type, so the cards open and edit in Anki with no add-on. With a tool you upload a diagram, it masks the labels, and you download a deck that imports straight into Anki. By hand, you draw each mask in Anki's editor first.
Anki has had Image Occlusion built in since version 23.10, so a modern Anki opens these cards without the old Image Occlusion Enhanced add-on. The slow part of making them by hand is the masking: you add an Image Occlusion note, then draw a rectangle over every label, one slide at a time.
Exporting from a tool skips that. A good converter hands you an .apkg where each masked region is already a real Anki Image Occlusion note, not a flat picture. You import the deck once, and every card is editable in Anki, syncs to AnkiWeb, and reviews on your phone.
Check that the export is the native note type and not a screenshot pasted onto a basic card. Native means you can move a mask, fix a label, or reveal one region at a time inside Anki itself.
