How to Export StudySmarter Flashcards to Anki

StudySmarter has no Anki button, but Premium users can export a set as CSV. Here's how to get from that file to an Anki deck.

Last updated October 2026

StudySmarter doesn't export to Anki directly, but Premium users can export their own flashcards as a CSV file: open the set in your library, tap the three dots in the top right, and choose Export flashcards. Upload that CSV to a converter, or import it into Anki via File → Import with the question column mapped to Front and the answer column to Back. Free users have to copy cards into a spreadsheet by hand.

Skip the manual steps: use the free converter

Upload the CSV from Export flashcards, or paste copied cards, and download a ready-to-import .apkg. Comma and semicolon files both work, and German column names are recognised.

What StudySmarter Lets You Export

According to StudySmarter's help centre, Premium users can export flashcards they created themselves as a CSV file. The export is plain text only: formatting, formulas and images are left out. Without Premium there is no export option.

Step-by-Step: StudySmarter Premium Export

  1. 1

    Open the set

    In StudySmarter, go to your library and open the flashcard set you want to move.

  2. 2

    Export flashcards

    Tap the three dots in the top right corner and choose Export flashcards. The CSV saves to your downloads folder, or a location you pick.

  3. 3

    Import into Anki

    Upload the CSV to the StudySmarter to Anki converter and import the .apkg it gives you. Or use File, Import in Anki, map the question column to Front and the answer column to Back, and click Import.

Without Premium: Copy to a Spreadsheet

  1. 1

    Paste into a spreadsheet

    Open each card in StudySmarter and copy the question into Column A and the answer into Column B of Google Sheets or Excel, one row per card.

  2. 2

    Save as CSV (UTF-8)

    File → Download → Comma-separated values in Sheets, or Save As → CSV UTF-8 in Excel. UTF-8 keeps umlauts and accents intact.

  3. 3

    Convert it

    Upload the file to the converter, or import it into Anki with File → Import.

Faster alternative if you have the source material

If your StudySmarter set was built from your own lecture notes or a textbook chapter, regenerating cards from that source with an AI tool is usually faster than copying cards one by one, and skips the manual CSV step entirely by exporting straight to a .apkg file Anki can import directly.

Moving from a different app instead? See how to convert Quizlet to Anki or the full guide to importing any flashcards into Anki.

Skip the Manual Copying

Upload your class notes or a PDF to StudyCards AI and export a ready-made .apkg, no retyping cards from StudySmarter, no CSV, no lost formatting.
