Setting Up Anki Integration

Follow this step-by-step guide to configure Anki integration with QuizCraft, allowing you to export your flashcards directly to Anki for mobile and offline study.

1

Install Anki

Anki is a powerful, free flashcard app that uses spaced repetition to optimize your learning. If you don't have Anki installed yet, download it from the official website.

Download Anki

Available for:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux
  • Android (AnkiDroid)
  • iOS (AnkiMobile - paid app)

Install AnkiConnect Add-on

AnkiConnect is an add-on that allows external applications like QuizCraft to communicate with Anki. Follow these steps to install it:

  1. Open Anki on your computer
  2. Click on "Tools" in the menu bar, then select "Add-ons"
  3. Click "Get Add-ons..." button
  4. Enter the code: 2055492159
  5. Click "OK" to install
  6. Restart Anki to complete installation

Important:

You must restart Anki after installing the add-on for it to take effect. AnkiConnect runs in the background while Anki is open, allowing QuizCraft to communicate with it.

Configure AnkiConnect (Optional)

The default AnkiConnect configuration should work fine for most users. However, if you experience issues, you may need to modify the configuration to allow external connections:

  1. In Anki, go to "Tools" → "Add-ons"
  2. Select "AnkiConnect" from the list
  3. Click "Config" button
  4. Make sure the configuration includes:
    {
    "apiKey": null,
    "apiLogPath": null,
    "webBindAddress": "127.0.0.1",
    "webBindPort": 8765,
    "webCorsOrigin": "*",
    "webCorsOriginList": [
        "http://localhost",
        "https://quizcraft-webapp.vercel.app"
    ]
}
  5. Click "Save" and restart Anki

Note:

If you're using QuizCraft on a different domain, you may need to add that domain to the "webCorsOriginList" in the AnkiConnect configuration.

4

Export Your Flashcards to Anki

Once AnkiConnect is set up, you can export your flashcard sets from QuizCraft to Anki:

  1. Make sure Anki is open on your computer
  2. Go to your "My Flashcards" page in QuizCraft
  3. For each flashcard set, click the "Export to Anki" button
  4. Confirm the export when prompted
  5. Check Anki to see your imported flashcards

Success Tip:

Your flashcards will be exported to a deck with the same name as your flashcard set in QuizCraft. If the deck doesn't exist, it will be created automatically.

Connection Errors

  • Make sure Anki is open while exporting
