NotebookLM downloads flashcards only as CSV, which Anki does not import cleanly. With NotebookLM Ultra Exporter, open the flashcard deck, click Export and choose Anki text, a tab-separated file you load with File, Import in Anki. It is free. Pro adds a ready .apkg deck that opens with a double-click.

## 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. Generate and open the flashcard deck in Studio.
3. Click **Export** and choose **Anki**.
4. In Anki, choose File, Import, select the file and confirm the field mapping.

## What to know

- Anki text maps the question to the front field and the answer to the back.
- The .apkg package needs no field mapping.
- Check cards before studying; NotebookLM can generate wrong or vague cards.

> Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does it work with AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid?

Import on desktop Anki and sync, or open the .apkg file directly on the mobile app.
