Import from Anki

Bring your decks in minutes. Keep your progress.

Seamless migration

Revu supports importing your existing Anki decks with full preservation of your learning history, card structure, and deck hierarchy. No need to start over.

What's preserved

  • Card content: Front, back, and all fields including formatting
  • Review history: Your past reviews inform FSRS scheduling
  • Deck structure: Hierarchical organization and tags
  • Media files: Images, audio, and other attachments

How to import

  1. In Anki, export your deck as .apkg (include scheduling information)
  2. In Revu, go to File → Import
  3. Select your .apkg file
  4. Review the import preview and confirm

Note: Revu uses FSRS scheduling instead of Anki's SM-2. Your review history is analyzed to initialize optimal FSRS parameters for each card, often resulting in more efficient review intervals.

Other import formats

Beyond Anki, Revu also supports importing from:

  • CSV/TSV: Simple two-column format for bulk imports
  • Markdown: Plain text files with front/back delimiters
  • JSON: Full Revu deck format for backups and transfers
