Anki Image Editor (Enhanced Edition)

An advanced image editing, cropping, and annotation add-on for Anki. It allows you to quickly crop, rotate, flip, annotate, and edit images directly within the Anki Note Editor without leaving your study workflow.


Credits & Attribution

This project is an enhanced fork of the original work by community developers:

  • Original Author: BlueGreenMagick (GitHub Repository)
  • Upstream Fixes & Maintenance: Shigeyuki (AnkiWeb Add-on #789309990 / Patreon)
  • Enhanced Edition: Developed with modern cropping tools, multi-language internationalization (i18n), floating popover integration, remote image handling, and performance optimizations.

Comparison: Enhancements vs Original Add-on

Feature Original / Upstream (789309990) Enhanced Edition
Instant Cropper Tool Not available (only full SVG vector canvas) Built-in fast cropper with aspect ratio presets (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2, Free), rotations (-90Β°/+90Β°), horizontal/vertical flips, and zoom controls
Floating Popover Button Not supported Automatic quick-action button injected into Anki's floating image bubble menu
Internationalization (i18n) English only Full localization across 40+ Anki languages (French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Korean, etc.)
UTF-8 & Non-ASCII Filenames Risk of corrupted paths on special characters Robust TextDecoder UTF-8 parsing for international filenames
