Anki Packaging Guide

Package A Learning Deck For Anki

A useful deck is more than generated cards. It needs clean fields, import-tested files, a small public sample, support terms, and a delivery path learners can trust.

The Deck-Ready Checklist

Use this before you sell a deck, ask for a review, or hand off raw learning material for packaging.

Step 1

Separate fields

Keep prompt, answer, reading, tags, source notes, and examples in separate columns or Markdown blocks. This makes import and review easier.

Step 2

Remove risky source material

Do not include full copyrighted lyrics, textbook pages, paid course text, private learner data, or scraped personal content.

Step 3

Make a small sample

Publish 10 to 25 public-safe notes so learners can inspect card quality before paying for the full deck.

Step 4

Import-test the package

Open the .apkg in a clean Anki profile, verify note count, card count, tags, media, and example formatting.

Minimum Delivery Pack

Inspect A Working Sample

The Easy Japanese sample deck shows the kind of public-safe preview I recommend: small enough to give away, useful enough to prove the paid pack exists.

Easy Japanese Anime & J-Pop Vocabulary Pack

Free sample deck plus a $29 paid pack with 84 lesson files, a 402-note Anki deck, JLPT CSVs, and a printable PDF.

When To Use The Kit, Review, Or Packaging

Scope Boundary
