Import & Export

Upload cards in bulk via JSON, and export your library to keep a portable copy.

Import formats

Two JSON shapes are accepted.

Option 1 — array of cards

[
  {
    "front": "What is the capital of France?",
    "back": "Paris",
    "tags": ["geography", "europe"]
  },
  {
    "front": "What is 2 + 2?",
    "back": "4",
    "category": "math"
  }
]

Option 2 — object with a cards key

{
  "cards": [
    {
      "card_uuid": "my-unique-id",
      "front": "What is the capital of France?",
      "back": "Paris",
      "tags": ["geography"]
    }
  ]
}

Fields

Required: front and back on every card.

Optional:

  • tags — array of strings, used to organize and filter cards
  • category — string, added as an extra tag
  • card_uuid — string (max 36 chars), enables in-place updates

In-place updates with card_uuid

When you include a card_uuid, re-uploading a file updates matching cards instead of creating duplicates. Your review history and due dates are preserved.

Workflow: export your cards (they'll include UUIDs), edit the JSON, re-upload. Cards without a UUID get one auto-generated.
