How Cramblr and Anki fit together

Cramblr turns textbook photos into draft flashcards you review and approve. Anki is where most learners run long-term spaced repetition. The handoff is an APKG export containing only cards you approved.

This keeps noisy OCR drafts out of your daily Anki queue—you fix readings, reject junk, and export a deck you are willing to memorize.

Export from Cramblr

  1. Upload study pages and wait for extraction to finish.

  2. Open review and approve cards that pass your quality bar—fix tone marks, split overloaded prompts, reject noise.

  3. Open your library and select the deck you want to export.

  4. Click Export / Download for Anki and save the .apkg file when the download link appears.

  5. Download links expire after a few minutes for security—request a fresh export if needed.

Import into Anki

  1. Follow the import steps in the Import a deck guide on desktop or mobile.

  2. Name or tag the deck by chapter or week so it matches how you organize other material.

  3. Spot-check ten cards—especially language readings and media attachments.

  4. Set a conservative new-card limit before your first study session.

Quick QA before you export

  • Every approved card tests one clear fact.
  • No blank required fields or obvious OCR garbage remains.
  • Duplicates were rejected during review, not exported.
  • Tags or deck structure match how you filter in Anki.
