Anki export
Anki export means saving your flashcards as an .apkg file, the format Anki can open. Anki is a popular free app for spaced repetition, the study method that shows each card right before you forget it. Import the file and study on any device.
An .apkg file is just a flashcard deck in a format Anki understands. It holds the questions, answers, and any images or formatting. Once you have one, you open Anki, import the file, and your whole deck shows up in seconds.
People do this because Anki handles the timing for you. It tracks which cards you find hard and shows them more often, and easy ones less often. So you make the cards once, export them, and let Anki decide what to review each day.
The nice part is it works everywhere. Anki runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iPhone, and your deck syncs across all of them. Export once and you can study on the bus or at your desk.
Mara has 200 biology terms in a deck. She exports it as an .apkg, imports it into Anki on her laptop, and it syncs to her phone. Now she reviews cards on the train and Anki keeps drilling the ones she keeps missing.
