Description

Anki Media Manager

Reuse and clean up images in your Anki collection. Browse collection.media, automatically surface images that belong on the card you're editing, insert with one click, replace an image once to update every card that uses it, and prune the orphans and duplicates that build up over years.

Features

Auto-related on open: launched from a card editor, the grid shows images already on the card, then filename-text matches, then images used on tag-and-text-similar notes.
Powerful search: type a filename substring, an Anki keyword (hippocampus), an operator (tag:anatomy, deck:Medicine), is:unused, is:duplicate, or * for everything. Filename and note-keyword hits merge into one grid.
Info panel (right): preview, dimensions/size/date, "Referenced by N notes" with a one-click jump to Anki's note browser, clickable tags from those notes, and any duplicate files.
Preview an image at full size with mouse-wheel zoom and click-to-pan (Space to open).
Insert at the cursor (double-click or Insert button).
Replace across every card that uses an image, two modes:
- Replace on disk — overwrite the file in place; every reference updates automatically.
- Rewrite references — repoint every <img src> to a new filename; old file untouched.
Rename a file and update every <img src> reference across notes.
Cleanup: is:unused lists orphans with a bulk-delete button; is:duplicate groups same-content files for consolidation via Replace. Deletions go to Anki's media trash (recoverable).

Install

AnkiWeb: search "Media Manager" or install with code 126796547. Restart Anki.

Development: clone the repo, then just test copies the addon into ~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/media-manager-test/ and launches Anki. just build packages build/media-manager-anki_v21.ankiaddon for upload or direct sideload.

Configuration

Tools → Add-ons → Media Manager → Config. Tunable: thumbnail size, similarity-scoring weights (tag / image-neighborhood / text TF-IDF), keyword-search cap, rare-tag fraction. Defaults work for collections up to ~50k notes; first open per session pays a one-off ~1–3s stats build.
