Copy Note Fields as Markdown adds one simple action to Anki’s Browser:

Right-click a card → Copy note fields as Markdown

It takes the selected card’s underlying note fields and copies them to your system clipboard in Markdown like this:

  ## Front

  Question text

  ## Back

  Answer text

  ## Extra

  Additional notes

What it does

• Works in the Anki Browser
• Works in Cards mode
• Requires exactly one selected card
• Copies all non-empty note fields
• Preserves the note’s field order
• Strips HTML into cleaner plain text
• Keeps media references as plain filenames where possible
• Copies directly to the clipboard
• Makes no changes to your collection

What it does not do

This add-on is intentionally minimal.

It does not:

• export multiple cards
• add a toolbar button
• provide a settings screen
• capture rendered front/back card HTML
• do fancy HTML-to-Markdown conversion
• write anything to your Anki collection

Important note

This add-on exports the selected card’s note fields, not the rendered card face.

That means:

• sibling cards from the same note will copy the same note fields
• cloze notes export the underlying field content, not a rendered cloze preview

That is intentional.

How to use

1. Open Browse
2. Switch to Cards mode
3. Select exactly one card
4. Right-click
5. Choose Copy note fields as Markdown

If you are in Notes mode, or select zero/multiple rows, the add-on will show a small message and do nothing.

Good fit for

This is useful if you want to:

• paste Anki content into ChatGPT/Claude
• move note content into Markdown apps
• quickly reuse card content in docs or notes
• inspect note fields outside Anki without exporting your collection

Compatibility

Tested with modern Anki 25.x builds.
