Web Embed Tools adds a small editor workflow for placing web pages directly in Anki note fields. It keeps the stored HTML simple, while the editor provides a floating toolbar for choosing and resizing an embed.

Install

Requires Anki 25.09 or newer.

  1. Install it from AnkiWeb, or download web_embed_tools.ankiaddon from the latest release.
  2. In Anki, open Tools β†’ Add-ons β†’ Install from file… and select it.
  3. Restart Anki.

Use

  • Select a raw http(s) URL, or right-click an existing link.
  • Choose Create Embed from URL.
  • Select the embed to resize it, set an exact size, add a blank line above or below it, or remove it.

The same controls work in the regular Add/Edit dialog and the Browser editor.

A small privacy and safety note

An embedded URL is stored in your note HTML and therefore may sync with the collection. The external page loads when its card or editor is displayed, so embed only sites you trust. Some sites intentionally block iframe embedding; that is expected and cannot be changed by this add-on.

What is included

  • Selected-URL and clicked-link conversion.
  • Live editor embeds with practical resize controls.
  • Canonical, portable field HTML that preserves the chosen size.
  • A disposable Anki GUI smoke test for the editor hook.

Wikipedia search and Browser-wide bulk conversion are not part of this release.

Development

Only needed when working on the add-on itself:

make check
make package
make smoke

make smoke uses anki-addon-workbench and a disposable profile; it never opens your everyday Anki collection.

The supporting design notes live in PLAN.md, TECHNICAL_DESIGN.md, and BACKLOG.md.
