Transparent Text is a lightweight Anki editor add-on for hiding selected text without deleting it. Make text invisible on your Anki cards while keeping it inside the note, where it remains searchable, editable, and stored normally.
Select any text in the Anki editor and hide it with one click or a keyboard shortcut. The hidden text stays in your note but does not appear normally during card review.
This makes Transparent Text useful for hidden hints, mnemonics, memory aids, helper words, personal reminders, keywords, vocabulary hints, study notes, and extra information that you want to keep available without displaying it on the card.
Hide selected text directly from the Anki editor
The hidden text remains inside the note and can still be searched and edited
Transparent Text lets you hide selected text in Anki without creating additional fields or modifying your card templates.
The selected text becomes visually transparent, but the text itself remains part of the note. You can search for it in the Anki Browser, edit it later, or make it visible again.
Transparent Text uses color: transparent; to make the selected text invisible.
The text is not deleted, encrypted, or moved to another field. It remains part of the
original Anki note.
Because the text is made transparent rather than assigned a fixed colour, it remains invisible when switching between Anki Light Mode and Dark Mode.
Transparent Text is designed to be simple. You do not need to create an additional Anki field, modify your card template, or configure complicated settings.
Select the text you want to hide, toggle it, and continue editing your note normally.
If you find a useful way to use Transparent Text, discover a problem, or have an idea for improving the add-on, feel free to share it.

Hide helper text inside your Anki notes without deleting it.
Transparent Text is a tiny editor add-on that makes selected text invisible using CSS while keeping it fully searchable, editable, synchronized, and stored inside the note.
Originally built for my own study workflow and shared with the Anki community.
Internally the add-on simply wraps the selection with:
<span style="color: transparent;">Hidden text</span>
The content remains part of the note and can still be searched, synchronized, copied, and edited.

While studying, I often wanted to keep helper words, mnemonics, or personal notes inside my cards without displaying them during review.
Transparent Text provides a simple one-click solution without adding extra fields or changing your card templates. Because it uses transparent text instead of fixed colours, your hidden notes remain invisible in both Light and Dark mode without any extra work.
