How to Import Flashcards to MyLeitnerBox

🎬 Introduction

Yes , you can import your existing flashcards into MyLeitnerBox, whether they come from Anki, Quizlet, a CSV/Excel file, or another study app.

This guide walks through the full import flow, including how to create a new box or add cards to a box you already have.

1. Open the Import Menu

In the main menu, click on “Leitner”.
Then select “Import Boxes/Flashcards”.

2. Choose Import Source

You will be redirected to the “Import a Box” page.

Source	What you provide
Anki	An .apkg deck file (max 30 MB)
Quizlet	Pasted text, or a .txt file (tab between term and definition)
CSV file	Any .csv spreadsheet — then map columns
Excel file	A .xlsx file (first sheet)
JSON file	A JSON array of objects
Structured text	FRONT/BACK blocks separated by ---
Brainscape	Brainscape CSV (Question/Answer)
RemNote	RemNote JSON (isFlashcard: true items)
Vaia	Vaia/StudySmarter CSV (Question/Answer)

In this example, we will import an Anki deck.

3. Upload Your File

Upload your flashcard file using the file upload option.

4. Preview Your Data

After uploading, you will see a preview of your data.
This step allows you to verify that the content has been imported correctly.

5. Configure Card Type & Language

Choose whether your deck consists of "Words" (vocabulary) or "Phrases" (longer text). At this stage, you must also set the Front and Back languages to ensure features like Text-to-Speech work correctly.

6. Map Flashcard Columns

Now, align the data from your file with the fields in MyLeitnerBox. You can map your file's columns to specific fields like Front, Back, Hint, or Definition.
