How to turn an Excel sheet into flashcards
Set up two columns
Put the fronts (terms, questions, words) in one column and the backs (definitions, answers, translations) in the column right next to it.
Copy and paste
Select both columns, without the header row, copy them, and paste into the box. Excel and Google Sheets copy cells with a tab between them, which is what the converter reads.
Practice
Click the card to flip it and use Next and Previous to move through the deck. Edit the box and the cards update right away.
Example
A sheet with these two columns, copied and pasted, becomes these cards.
- Photosynthesis
- Process plants use to make food from light
- Mitochondria
- Cell organelle that produces ATP
- Osmosis
- Movement of water across a membrane
Formatting tips
Each row is split at its first tab, so the back can hold anything, commas included. If you have more than two columns, only the first two are used: the rest ends up on the back, so copy just the two you want.
Lines typed by hand work too. A line with no tab is split at its first comma, like a CSV.
A cell with a line break inside it pastes as two lines and turns into two cards. Replace those line breaks in the sheet first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make flashcards from an Excel spreadsheet?
Put the fronts in one column and the backs in the next, select both columns, copy them and paste them here. Each row becomes a flip card you can practice right away.
Does it work with Google Sheets and Numbers?
Yes. Google Sheets, Excel and Apple Numbers all copy cells with a tab between columns, and that is what the converter reads.
Do I need to save the sheet as CSV first?
No. Copying the cells is enough. If you already have a CSV file, the CSV to flashcards converter takes it as it is.
Can I upload the .xlsx file?
No. Open the file, copy the two columns and paste them in. Nothing is uploaded, it all runs in your browser.
Does it save my cards?
No. Nothing is stored. Keep your spreadsheet and paste it again whenever you want to practice.
Can I print the cards?
Yes. Paste the same two columns into the flashcard printer and it lays them out for double-sided printing, 8 cards to a sheet.
