Exporting flashcards from your own study material

Students asking how to do a Quizlet flashcards export often want their cards in Anki or a spreadsheet so they can keep studying outside one app. DeckOwl takes a different route: it builds the cards from the notes, slides or textbook pages you already have, then exports them in a format you can open anywhere.

Example flashcards on exporting study decks

What does CSV stand for?Comma-separated values, a plain text table format where each line is one record and fields are separated by commas.

What file type does Anki use to package a whole deck for sharing?An .apkg file, which bundles the cards, media and scheduling data into one file that Anki can import.

Why does spaced repetition work better than rereading notes?Reviewing a card just before you would forget it strengthens memory more than repeated passes over the same material.

What is a good way to format a flashcard back for quick review?Keep it to one short answer or definition, so you can check it in a few seconds and grade yourself honestly.

Why export flashcards to PDF before an exam?A printed or offline copy lets you study without a device, and you can write notes in the margins while you review.

Export or study

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki, CSV, PDF or DOCX on Plus.

Export is a paid feature. The free plan lets you make three generations a month and study in the browser. Plus unlocks unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for schools that use those systems.

Before exporting, keep each card to one fact, put the question on the front, and keep the answer short. Cards written this way import cleanly and are easier to review on a schedule.

Frequently asked questions

How should I format flashcards before exporting them to Anki?

Keep one fact per card, put the question on the front and a short answer on the back. Remove long paragraphs so each card is quick to review.

How many flashcards should I make for one exam topic?

Start with enough cards to cover each key term, rule or process in the chapter, usually somewhere between 20 and 50 for one topic. Add more only where you keep missing answers.

Can I export my flashcards on the free plan?

No. The free plan includes three generations a month and study in the browser, while exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV require Plus or Pro.

Which export formats does DeckOwl support?
