NotebookLM to Anki: flashcards and quizzes as decks
Short answer
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.

Steps

- In NotebookLM, export the content in a format Anki accepts (see the table below).
- In Anki choose File, Import and select the exported file.

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.
Free or Pro?
The basics are free; the advanced options listed on this page need Ultra Exporter Pro. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
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.
