How to Move StudySmarter or Vaia Flashcards to Nibomo

StudySmarter and Vaia let you download the flashcards you made as a CSV file if you have Premium. Once you have the file, choose Import from StudySmarter in Nibomo, even if your download came from Vaia. Start with one set so you can compare the cards before moving the rest.

Export your StudySmarter or Vaia flashcards

  1. In StudySmarter or Vaia, open your Library and select a flashcard set you created.
  2. Open the three-dot menu at the top right of the set and choose Export flashcards.
  3. Find the downloaded .csv file, usually in Downloads, and keep the original file.

The StudySmarter UK help center and the Vaia US help center document the same steps. If Export flashcards is missing, check that you have Premium and that you made the cards yourself. If you already have your export, skip to the import.

The CSV contains plain text. Images, formulas, and formatting don't come with it, and the cards start with a fresh review schedule in Nibomo. Keep the original set if you still need those parts.

Import the CSV into Nibomo

  1. Open Nibomo on the web and switch to the workspace where you want the cards. The web app also works as a fallback if an older mobile app doesn't show the import option.
  2. Go to Library → Import. Under From another app, select Import from StudySmarter.
  3. Select Choose files, attach the CSV, and select Start import.

This opens Nibomo's online AI chat and sends it your file. The chat can save cards to your workspace as it goes. When it finishes, open Library → Cards and check what was saved. The Nibomo import guide covers file limits and other ways to import.

Check the count, then flip the cards

To try the workflow with a small set, create these three cards in StudySmarter or Vaia and export them. Here's what you should see in Nibomo:

Front Back
the key la clé
See you tomorrow! À demain !
Yes, of course. Oui, bien sûr.

Look for three new cards. Check that the English prompts are on the fronts and the French answers are on the backs. Look for the accents in la clé and À demain !, and make sure Oui, bien sûr. appears together on one back. You can get the right count even when a comma splits an answer or the sides are reversed.

For your own sets, compare a few cards with the originals, especially cards with commas, accents, or line breaks. If the import stopped partway through, check which cards were saved before you run it again so you don't add them twice.

This AI-assisted guide uses the official export instructions and Nibomo's import implementation. The three-card exercise shows the expected result; it isn't a report of a completed import.
