Captures missed QBank questions, uses AI to find and re-rate matching cards as Again, then supports gap-based browsing and card creation.
Automatically resizes and aligns images pasted or drag-dropped into Anki's editor using configurable strategies, toolbar switching, and deck-specific defaults.
Turns selected or right-clicked URLs into resizable embedded web views in Anki notes, editable in the note editor and Browser, requiring Anki 25.09+.
Resizes card images to a configurable max width and crops fixed top/bottom pixels to hide slide headers or bars during review, non-destructively, with live preview and note-type targeting.
Adds visual Browser layouts, explorer-style navigation, tabs, drag-and-drop deck folders, colours, and a visual note-type manager with grid details, folders, and JSON import/export.

Web View Screenshot for Anki
Firefox-style screenshots of any Anki web view: the reviewer, the card browser preview, the card layout preview, and add-on panels such as AMBOSS.
Install
In Anki, open Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and enter the code 171106637, or visit the AnkiWeb page.
Usage
Press Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on macOS) with the pointer over the web view you want to capture, or with keyboard focus in it.
- Hover to highlight the element under the pointer, click to select it, or drag to select a region. The page still scrolls while you pick (mouse wheel, PageUp/PageDown), nested scroll boxes included.
- The selection then gets handles. Resize by the edges or corners, drag inside to move, nudge with the arrow keys (Shift = 10 px), Alt+Up widens the selection to the parent element and Alt+Down goes back. The selection stays on its content if you scroll. Click outside to start over.
- Enter, Ctrl+C, a double-click inside the selection or the Capture button takes the shot. V captures the visible area. Esc cancels.
- A selection taller or wider than the visible area is captured whole: the add-on scrolls the page in steps and stitches the pieces together, then scrolls back. Elements that stay fixed while scrolling (sticky headers) can repeat in such a capture.
The PNG is copied to the clipboard and saved under ~/Screenshots. Either can
be switched off, and both shortcuts changed, in the add-on's config.
Ctrl+Shift+D saves the whole page, scrolled content included, as a PDF.
Requirements
Anki 23.10 or newer (Qt 6). Windows, macOS and Linux.
How it works
The picker is a small script injected into the page, so it sees the page's real element boxes and works at any zoom level or display scale. The capture itself is a Qt widget grab cropped to the chosen rectangle, so no OS-level screen capture permission is needed.
Licence
GNU AGPL v3 or later, like Anki itself.
