Steps from StudySmarter's help centre, checked 1 October 2026. Export is a Premium feature and covers flashcards you created yourself. On a free plan, copy your cards into two spreadsheet columns and paste them into the box.

What carries over

  • Questions and answers become Basic Anki cards.
  • Formatting, formulas and images don't. StudySmarter's export is plain text only.
  • Umlauts and accents are kept, whether the file is saved as UTF-8 or the older Windows encoding Excel sometimes uses.
  • Learning progress stays in StudySmarter. Anki treats every card as new.

Troubleshooting

  • No Export flashcards option: export needs StudySmarter Premium, and only works on sets you made yourself.
  • Every card ends up on the front: pick Semicolon or Comma instead of Auto-detect.
  • Formulas look wrong: the export drops formula formatting, so check maths cards after importing.
  • Some rows were skipped: those rows had a question but no answer.
