Moving your cards without retyping them

Most students switching from Quizlet to Anki do not want to retype hundreds of terms by hand, and the quickest route is usually to rebuild the cards from the material they came from. This page explains how to make Quizlet flashcards into Anki by working from your own notes, slides or PDFs instead of copying old sets line by line.

Start from the original notes or slides rather than an old card list
Keep one idea per card so reviews stay quick and specific
Edit generated cards before exporting so errors do not carry over
Import the Anki deck once, then review daily to keep intervals working

Example photosynthesis flashcards for an Anki deck

Where in the chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions occur?In the thylakoid membranes, where light energy splits water and produces ATP and NADPH.

What does RuBisCO catalyze?Fixation of CO2 onto ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, the first step of the Calvin cycle.

What does the oxygen released in photosynthesis come from?Water. Splitting H2O releases O2 as a byproduct, not CO2.

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy gives C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Where does the Calvin cycle take place?In the stroma, the fluid surrounding the thylakoids inside the chloroplast.

Export to Anki

On the Plus plan, export the deck to Anki and import it, then keep studying with spaced repetition.

DeckOwl reads PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images, including photos of pages processed with text recognition. You review the generated cards, correct anything that is off, and export the finished deck to Anki on the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study in the browser with three generations a month, but exports are a paid feature.

Check each card against the source before you import it. Remove duplicates, split any card that asks two questions, and keep answers short enough to recall in a few seconds.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a photosynthesis unit?

Most units work well with 40 to 80 cards, one per term, process or equation. Break long processes such as the Calvin cycle into several smaller cards so each one has a single clear answer.

How should I study photosynthesis flashcards to remember them?

Review new cards daily and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you miss. Say the answer out loud before flipping each card, and draw the light-dependent reactions or the Calvin cycle from memory once a week.

Is exporting to Anki free?

No. Anki export is included on the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser with three generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
