Import From Anki
Bring existing Anki packages into Cardary and keep media intact.Use Anki import when you already have a useful .apkg package and do not want to rebuild it manually.
What Cardary imports
- Note and card data from the package database.
- Media files referenced by imported cards.
- Common image and audio references.
- Field content that can be mapped into Cardary cards.
Before importing
- Back up important Anki packages.
- Remove test notes, duplicates, and outdated cards if possible.
- Expect complex Anki template logic to need review after import.
- Keep the first import small if the package is large or media-heavy.
After importing
Check a sample of fronts, backs, audio, images, cloze behavior, and categories. Simplify cards whose original template depended on Anki-specific behavior that does not carry over cleanly.
Troubleshooting
If media is missing, verify that it existed in the original package. If formatting looks wrong, simplify HTML and template-specific markup. If the deck is too large, split the package and import in stages.
