1. 01

   Download the Anki file from the converter. It's a plain .txt file.

2. 02

   Open Anki on your computer, click the File menu, then Import, and choose the file.

3. 03

   Check the import window. The file already sets the separator to Tab and turns on HTML; pick a note type such as Basic and the deck you want.

4. 04

   Click Import. To study on your phone, sync with AnkiWeb afterwards.

The file's header lines are read by Anki 2.1.54 and later. Sources: Anki Manual: Importing · Anki Manual: Text files

• Splits each row at the first separator only, so a comma or colon later in a definition stays in the definition.
• Adds lines with no separator to the definition above them, so definitions with line breaks stay on one card.
• Keeps quotes and symbols such as < and & exactly as you typed them, and escapes them so Anki shows them correctly.
• Skips rows with no term or no definition, and exact duplicates, and lists them so you can check.
• Writes a tab-separated .txt file with Anki's header lines: tab separator, HTML on, Front and Back columns.
• Runs in your browser. The text is kept only in this browser so it survives a reload; Clear removes it.

• Tab between term and definition: choose Tab or Auto. It works for almost every set, because cards rarely contain tabs.
• Comma between term and definition: choose Comma or Auto. Only the first comma in a row splits it, so this works unless a term contains a comma.
• Custom between term and definition, such as ##: choose Custom and type the same text.
• New line between rows: choose New line. Lines that belong to a multi-line definition are joined back to their card.
• Semicolon or Custom between rows: choose the same here. A custom row separator such as #### keeps line breaks inside definitions exactly.

• 01Want cards in both directions? Choose the Basic (and reversed card) note type when you import, and Anki makes one card each way.
• 02Importing the same file twice won't double your deck: Anki spots notes with the same first field and, by default, updates them.
• 03Quizlet's export is text only, so add any images or audio in Anki after importing.
• 04If a card's term and definition look merged or cut short in the preview, a separator probably appears inside that card. Export again with a different one.
