Convert Quizlet to Anki.

Pick the line that sounds like you. Each one is a different way out.

I have an exam tomorrow.
Forget the perfect setup. Get the cards into Anki, drill, sleep.
It's a teacher's set. I can't export.
Quizlet's own export is locked to creators. You don't need it.
The Anki addon keeps breaking.
Cloudflare keeps tripping it. There's a way around.
I want the images and audio.
They're in the .apkg. No collection.media folder dance.

Quizlet's export is locked to creators. You don't need it.

Since the rules tightened, Quizlet only lets you export sets you created yourself. Saved a teacher's set? Copied a friend's set? The Export option is gone.

QuickCards reads any set your browser can render. Including teacher's sets.

03 · the add-on path

Quizlet talking to Quizlet.

The established Anki add-on for Quizlet runs from outside the browser. Its requests go out cross-origin, without the user's session attached, and Cloudflare's bot mitigation sometimes challenges them on images and audio. The common workaround, unchecking audio download, gets you a deck without the audio.

QuickCards runs as a browser extension on the Quizlet page. Its fetches go out from quizlet.com with the user's real session attached, so Cloudflare sees same-origin traffic and treats it accordingly. Quizlet talking to Quizlet, essentially.

04 · media intact

Image, audio, TTS bundled into the .apkg.

CSV imports drop media unless you copy each file into Anki's collection.media folder by hand. We don't do that. The .apkg is self-contained. Email it, AirDrop it, share it. Imports the same on every Anki client.

Three paths, fairly compared.

QuickCards extension

On any Quizlet tab, with images and audio bundled. No add-on, multi-set merge built in.

anki-quizlet-importer-extended (Anki add-on)

older path

Established and maintained. Desktop add-on, more setup, occasional Cloudflare friction on media.

Quizlet's own export + Anki CSV import

if it works

Built in. Only on sets you created, plain text only, encoding gotchas on macOS.
