What to do when a Quizlet set won't move into Gimkit

Retyping a deck is the slow part of any Gimkit import from Quizlet, and DeckOwl can't pull a Quizlet set in directly. What it can do is turn the notes, slides or PDFs behind that set into fresh quiz questions with explanations, which is often faster than rebuilding term lists by hand.

Copy terms into a plain text or CSV file with one pair per line
Keep a header row so the term and definition columns stay clear
Save the file as UTF-8 so accented letters and symbols survive
Check that every row has both a term and a definition before you import

Example terms for importing a study set

What is a CSV file?A plain text table where each line is a row and values are separated by commas. It is a common format for moving term lists between apps.

What is a delimiter in a data file?The character that separates fields within each row, such as a comma, tab or semicolon. The importer must know which one you used.

Why save an import file as UTF-8?UTF-8 stores accented letters and most symbols correctly, so they do not turn into garbled text when the file is read.

What is a header row?The first row of a table that names each column, such as Term and Definition. Many importers use it to match columns to fields.

What does it mean to map fields during an import?You tell the software which column in your file goes into which field, such as term or definition. Correct mapping prevents swapped answers.

Frequently asked questions

What file format should I use to move a list of terms between study apps?

A CSV file or plain text file with one term and definition per row is the most widely readable choice. Use a comma or tab consistently between the two fields.

How do I keep accented letters and symbols intact when importing a term list?

Save the file with UTF-8 encoding so characters like é, ñ and ü are stored correctly. If they show up as strange symbols after import, re-save the file as UTF-8 and try again.

Can DeckOwl export quizzes straight into Gimkit?

DeckOwl does not list Gimkit as an export target. Paid plans export PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and Pro also exports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports.
