But why not just import a CSV? Anki can read CSV files, but they are flat and cannot embed media (images, audio) or preserve nested hierarchies. The .apkg format, on the other hand, is a that can hold HTML cards, images, audio files, and even multiple note types—all inside a single file. That makes it the ideal destination for rich, structured XML data. xml to apkg

This is . However, be careful: CSV imports can sometimes mis‑align front and back fields if the delimiter or quoting is not set correctly. One user reported: “I came up with the idea of converting them into a CSV file and that works reasonably well, but Anki then separates the front and back of the index cards, so the front and back each become their own separate index card”. To avoid this, ensure that your CSV has exactly the columns expected by the note type, and that the first column is the front (question) and the second is the back (answer). : The actual media files used in the

If you have highly complex XML data (e.g., dictionaries with nested definitions, audio paths, and multiple fields), the manual method falls short. Python provides the perfect ecosystem to parse XML and directly compile it into an .apkg file. However, be careful: CSV imports can sometimes mis‑align

Select your .xml file. Excel will automatically parse the tags into columns (e.g., Column A for the front of the card, Column B for the back).
