Batch downloads images through the Google Custom Search API and adds them to cards, converting them to resized WebP files while supporting animated GIFs.
Automatically generates and bulk-generates furigana readings and looks up Japanese pitch accents, adding them to configured Anki note fields.
Adds Anki Browser buttons to merge or duplicate selected notes, merge tags, delete originals, choose merge order and field separator, and combine duplicates.
Automatically resizes and aligns images pasted or drag-dropped into Anki's editor using configurable strategies, with deck-specific defaults and toolbar controls.
Automatically resizes pasted or drag-and-dropped images to configurable dimensions, with shortcut resizing, aspect-ratio options, upscaling control, and transformation quality settings.

An Anki add-on that makes your images small.
We all know that people who don't store their images in WebP are wasting a lot of disk space. Not only on their hard drives, but on AnkiWeb as well. Unfortunately Anki doesn't convert images to WebP when you paste them from elsewhere, and it takes time to convert and resize images manually.
For the longest time I used a bash script to automatically convert images in my Anki collection to WebP until I decided that we simply need an add-on for this.
WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index.
Storing images in WebP is a great way to reduce the size of your Anki collection.
To configure the add-on select AJT > Media Converter Options... from the top menu bar.
Watch the video demonstration on 
.
After installation images will be automatically converted to WebP and resized on drag-and-drop. There's also a button in the Editor toolbar that lets you do the same.
To bulk-convert existing images in your collection, select Edit > AJT Media Converter: Bulk-convert in the card browser. You can see how it's done on .
To rename media files on a particular note, open the Anki Browser, select the note and click on the pencil icon on the toolbar. A dialog will pop up asking you to enter new filenames. A demo showing how it's done is also available on .
Press "AJT" > "Deduplicate media..." to replace duplicate media file names with original names in notes.
I would not have been able to develop this add-on without the support of my patrons. Thanks so much!
