Description

My Images

My Images is a searchable media browser and image management tool for Anki. It allows you to quickly find, preview, and insert images from your existing media collection directly into the card editor.

Use Case

This is the addon I use most often, because I often reuse good images I already have in the media folder; whenever I'm reviewing and think 'this card could do with a picture', odds are I'm thinking of a specific one from a related card. They're only searchable if they have a decent name (i.e. not "image.jpg"), so best practices is to rename your screenshots to something other than the default whenever you add them for the first time. I use this excellent addon all the time: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1560623518. If you don't want to use this, I yoinked the rename code and included it in this addon, because it's useless without images with useful names.

I treat image names in anki like tags, I add every key word I can think of to the filename, that way I can find it via associated terms.

Features

  • Searchable Media Browser: Search your entire Anki media library by filename while editing a card.
  • Visual Previews: Hover over any search result to see a large preview of the image.
  • One-Click Insertion: Click a thumbnail to instantly insert that image into your current field.
  • Smart Renaming: Right-click any image in the editor (or the browser) to rename it. The add-on automatically updates every single note in your collection that uses that image so your links never break.
