How to Export Flashcards World Cards and Import Them Into Nibomo

Start with one Flashcards World set and keep its export open while you check the copy in Nibomo. Pick a set with an accent, a comma in an answer, or a pair of quotation marks. Those are the details a card count can miss.

Export one set from Flashcards World

Flashcards World documents two ways to get a CSV:

  • On the web, open the set, go to Edit Set, and look for Export or Download CSV.
  • On iOS or Android, open the side menu from the set list, choose Export, and pick one set. Save the CSV from your device's share sheet.

The web editor also offers an Excel export. Either format gives you a file you can inspect in a spreadsheet. Keep the original export, especially if it contains extra multiple-choice answers. For a basic flashcard, find the column with the prompt and the one with the correct answer. Flashcards World export instructions · Flashcards World web guide

Import the CSV or Excel file into Nibomo

  1. In the Nibomo web app, open the workspace where you want the cards.
  2. Go to Library → Import → Import from another app.
  3. Click Choose files, select your .csv or .xlsx, and click Start import. This starts an AI chat that can save cards directly into the current workspace.
  4. When the chat finishes, open Library → Cards. Count the new cards and compare both sides with the source. Check a few rows with accents, punctuation or extra columns.

If the import menu is missing in your version of the app, you can attach the file in AI chat and ask it to import the front and back of each card. Keep Flashcards World for your original study history, media and multiple-choice settings. This guide covers moving card text.

Preview both columns before saving

To check each pair before creating cards, open the export in a spreadsheet and copy the two columns you want. Select the prompt first and the correct answer second. Leave out any header row and extra answer choices.

Sign in to Nibomo, then choose Library → Import → Import from a spreadsheet. Paste the cells, set Between front and back to Tab and Between cards to New line, then look at the preview. Fix any split rows or extra quotation marks there before clicking Import with the displayed card count.

Check three cards with accents and punctuation

You can save this example as a UTF-8 file named french-phrases.csv and open it in a spreadsheet. Copy its cells for the preview route, or use the file to try the AI import.

café,coffee
À demain !,"See you tomorrow, then!"
Elle a dit « bonjour ».,"She said ""hello""."

Look for three cards whichever route you try. The first front should say café. The second back should say See you tomorrow, then! on a single card. The third back should say She said "hello". with one pair of quotes. In the CSV, the outer quotes keep the comma inside the answer, and doubled inner quotes represent a single quote mark each.

This AI-assisted guide uses Flashcards World's documentation for the export steps. In a local check, Nibomo's web spreadsheet parser and the import package it built preserved all three pairs after the example was converted to tab-separated rows. The AI file transfer still needs an end-to-end check with a real Flashcards World export.

Once the first set matches, import the rest one set at a time. The Nibomo import guide explains the file and spreadsheet options and how to split larger imports.
