How do I export NotebookLM flashcards to Anki?
Short answer
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
- Install NotebookLM Ultra Exporter in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
- Generate and open the flashcard deck in Studio.
- Click Export and choose Anki.
- 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.
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 it work with AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid?
Import on desktop Anki and sync, or open the .apkg file directly on the mobile app.
