WordPlus provides Anki import from a file on your device, a direct URL, or its AnkiWeb browsing flow. Start with a small deck you can inspect. Keep your original Anki collection and a backup until you have checked the result.
Importing a deck moves study material between different card systems. It should not be treated as a backup that preserves every Anki feature or as ongoing two-way synchronisation.
Prepare a representative package
In Anki, export the deck you want to test as an Anki Deck Package (.apkg). Include a few ordinary cards and any card types, formatting or media you rely on. Use a distinct name so that your trial is easy to find afterward.
WordPlus's importer accepts .apkg packages. A full-collection export or a web page that describes a deck is not the same kind of input. If the importer rejects a file, check its actual format before changing its extension.
Choose the appropriate import route
| Route | Use it when | Check before starting |
|---|---|---|
| File from device | You have exported your own deck | The package is available in your device's file picker |
| Direct URL | You have a download link to a package | The link returns the package rather than a login or preview page |
| AnkiWeb browser | You want a shared AnkiWeb deck | Read the deck description and confirm it fits your topic |
Open the import controls from Sets and select the Anki import option. Choose your route, select the file or provide the link, and follow the displayed progress. If the app asks you to confirm languages, check both the word language and the translation language before continuing.
Processing depends on the package and network. Wait for the result shown in the app rather than assuming a fixed completion time or submitting the same import repeatedly.
Handle duplicate names deliberately
If a set with the same name already exists, inspect the available duplicate options. For a first trial, keeping both is easier to compare. Replacing an existing set can remove its previous study progress; do not choose replacement merely to dismiss the prompt.
Check the resulting cards
Open the imported set and inspect several cards before starting a large study session. Check text on both sides, language direction, accents and any media you need. Try a representative card in the study mode you plan to use.
Anki templates, add-ons and scheduling settings have no guaranteed one-to-one equivalent in WordPlus. Do not assume that review intervals or due dates transfer with the content. Keep a specialised deck in Anki if preserving those details is essential.
If something is wrong
A link that opens a sign-in page may not be a direct package download. Try exporting the deck to a local .apkg file instead. If the app requests language clarification, resolve it rather than repeatedly restarting. For a failed import, note the message and package size and contact WordPlus support.
Once your sample works, move the remaining material in manageable groups. For the wider decision, read WordPlus vs Anki.
