Yes, NotebookLM flashcards can go into Anki. NotebookLM Ultra Exporter exports a deck as Anki-importable tab-separated text for free, with no daily quota, and Pro creates a ready-made .apkg deck that imports in one step. Quizzes export the same two ways.

## Quick facts

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. In NotebookLM, export the content in a format Anki accepts (see the table below).
3. In Anki choose File, Import and select the exported file.
4. For the text file, confirm the field separator (tab) and map the fields to Front and Back. An .apkg needs no mapping.
5. Open the downloaded file and check it before you rely on it or share it.

## Good to know

NotebookLM decides how many cards are generated and how good they are. Check the cards before you start reviewing.

The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to Anki, and nothing is sent to Anki until you import the file yourself.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does NotebookLM have a built-in Anki integration?

No. Gemini Notebook has no built-in connection to Anki. The working route is a file: export from NotebookLM in a format Anki reads (Anki text (free), Anki .apkg (Pro)), then import or open it there.

### Does this work with AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid?

Import on Anki desktop and sync through AnkiWeb, which is the most reliable route. How .apkg files open directly differs between mobile clients.

### Does my content pass through a server on its way to Anki?

No. Files are converted in your browser and saved to your downloads folder. You move them into the other app yourself.
