How to Use the JSON to APKG Converter

This page allows you to convert a specially formatted JSON file into an Anki-compatible .apkg flashcard deck. Just follow the simple steps below to generate your deck.

📁 Step 1: Prepare Your JSON File

Create a JSON file using a text editor like Notepad, VSCode, or an online JSON editor. Your JSON file should look like this:

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "What is the capital of India?",
      "answer": "New Delhi"
    },
    {
      "question": "Who wrote the Mahabharata?",
      "answer": "Vyasa"
    }
  ]
}

• Each item must contain a "question" and "answer".
• Ensure that the JSON is valid. You can check it using tools like JSONLint.

🖱️ Step 2: Upload or Paste JSON Data

You can either:

• Upload a .json file using the upload button.
• Paste the raw JSON text into the text area.

⚙️ Step 3: Generate Your APKG

Once your JSON data is loaded:

1. Click the "Generate APKG" button.
2. The backend will process your file and create a downloadable .apkg Anki deck.

💾 Step 4: Download and Save Your Deck

Your browser will automatically download the file. Save it to a convenient location on your computer or mobile device.

📥 Step 5: Import to Anki

Open your Anki app (desktop or mobile), and:

• Click "Import File".
• Select the downloaded .apkg file.
• Choose the deck options and confirm the import.

💡 Tips for Best Results

• Keep your questions and answers short and precise.
• Use topics wisely—create separate JSON files for different subjects.
• Ensure correct formatting to avoid file errors.
