PDF to Anki
Without Typing the Cards
Hand Eduloo a lecture PDF and it writes the deck. Check the cards (one that cites your PDF can show its page), then download an .apkg file that Anki opens like any other deck, with topics as subdecks.

From Eduloo Into Anki in Three Steps
There is no Anki PDF import: Anki can't open a PDF. To convert PDF to Anki, Eduloo writes the cards and hands Anki a file it does read.
-
Export to Anki in the deck menu.
-
The .apkg file downloads.
deck-1042.apkgDownloads
One file holds the deck and its topics, so going from PDF to APKG takes a single download.
-
File, then Import in Anki.
Anki's File menu with Import highlighted
What Your Anki Deck Gets
Eduloo works as an AI Anki card generator: it writes the cards from your PDF, and Export to Anki in the deck menu saves them as one .apkg file that Anki adds like any other deck.

Edit in Eduloo Before You Export
An Anki flashcard generator is only as good as its cards, so check them here first: open a card's source, fix a question, or delete a card you don't need. Topics are chosen when the deck is written, and every export takes the whole deck, so export again any time for a fresh file.
The same deck stays in Eduloo too, ready to study with Eduloo's AI flashcard maker. Decks go both ways: Anki import brings your .apkg decks into Eduloo.
- How do beta blockers lower heart rate?
- Which beta blocker is selective for beta-1 receptors?
PDF to Anki FAQ
Upload the PDF in Eduloo's Flashcards, choose the topics, and Eduloo writes the deck. Then open the deck menu, choose Export to Anki, and import the .apkg file in Anki.
Yes. Guests can upload a PDF and download its cards as an .apkg file that Anki opens, with no account and no payment card. An account keeps the deck in Eduloo, so you can edit it and export it again, and paid plans add more.
Each card is a note of the type eduloo.ai Basic, with a Question and an Answer field. Topics become subdecks, and empty cards are skipped.
No. The .apkg file holds the cards, not your ratings or images, so Anki starts every card as new.
Yes. Anki Import reads .apkg files up to 40 MB, keeps nested decks as topics and tags as tags, and spots duplicate cards. Scheduling from Anki is not imported.
Yes. Eduloo reads image-only pages with OCR before it writes the cards, so a scan reaches Anki like any other PDF: as text cards you can edit there. Clear print works best; handwriting may not come through.
