Do I need the Image Occlusion Enhanced add-on?

Not for this workflow. Anki 23.10+ also has native occlusion; the browser tool is useful when you want .apkg without configuring note types first.

Anatomy, histology, geography maps, circuit diagrams, and any labeled figure where recognition of location matters.

Answers

How do I make image occlusion cards for Anki?

Image occlusion is the standard way to learn anatomy maps, maps, and labeled diagrams. You can build cards in the browser and export .apkg without installing Anki’s older IO add-on.

Steps

1.
Upload a diagram
Open the image occlusion tool and add a clear, high-contrast image.
2.
Draw occlusion boxes
Cover each label you want to test. Prefer one fact per card when possible.
3.
Generate cards
Create hide-one / hide-all variants as the tool allows, then preview.
4.
Export .apkg
Download the package and import into Anki Desktop, or Open in Neurako for FSRS study.
5.
Review on a schedule
Occlusion decks grow fast — keep daily new-card limits sane so reviews stay sustainable.

What carries over

Image + occlusion regions as packaged notes
Not live collaboration or AnkiHub sync
Not prior Anki IO add-on note IDs unless you migrate carefully
