How to Export Flashcards to Anki (.apkg)

While GemReader provides a full-featured, on-device FSRS-5 review system, your personal study data should never be locked inside a closed ecosystem. If you have an established Anki routine or use specialized desktop addons, moving your study materials should be effortless.

GemReader provides export to standard Anki package files (`.apkg`). Every card maintains its front prompts, back answers, cloze deletions, and book attribution so you can integrate book insights into your broader knowledge base without retyping a single word.

To export your flashcard decks, make sure you have:

• **Platforms**: GemReader installed on your device (Android or iOS). • **Prerequisites**: At least one flashcard created in your study library. • **Target Apps**: Anki, AnkiDroid, AnkiMobile, or any desktop computer running Anki software.

1. Open GemReader and tap the **Study** icon in the bottom navigation bar. 2. In your study section, locate the deck you wish to export. 3. Tap the options menu on the deck and select **Export**, then choose the Anki deck format. 4. GemReader packages your cards, source book titles, and cloze brackets into an `.apkg` file. 5. The system share sheet appears. Choose your destination: - Select **AnkiDroid** or **AnkiMobile** to import the deck directly into your mobile Anki app. - Select **Save** or your file manager to save the `.apkg` file to device storage. 6. Open Anki: your cards, tags, and cloze fields are indexed and ready for your next study session.

• **Automatic Metadata Tagging**: GemReader embeds the source book title and author into Anki's tag fields. This keeps your Anki collection organized without cluttering your deck hierarchy. • **Preserved Cloze Deletions**: Cloze deletions created in GemReader map directly to Anki's native cloze syntax, ensuring brackets and blanks behave identically across both platforms. • **Offline Export**: Exporting runs locally on your processor, generating your deck file with zero network requests.
