Got a list of terms in a spreadsheet? Paste it here as CSV and study it as flashcards. Each line becomes one card: the part before the first comma is the front, and the rest is the back.

How to convert a CSV to flashcards

  1. Get your CSV

    Put the fronts in the first column of a spreadsheet and the backs in the second, then export as CSV. Or type the lines yourself as front,back.

  2. Paste it in

    Paste the lines into the box. A header line like front,back is skipped automatically, and the cards update as you type.

  3. Practice

    Click the card to flip it and use Next and Previous to move through the deck. The counter shows where you are.

Example CSV

Three lines like "Mitochondria,Cell organelle that produces ATP" become three cards like these.

Photosynthesis
Process plants use to make food from light
Mitochondria
Cell organelle that produces ATP
Osmosis
Movement of water across a membrane toward the side with more dissolved solutes

Formatting tips

Each line is split at its first comma. So the front can't contain a comma, but the back can: "Paris,Capital of France, on the Seine" works fine. Quotes aren't removed, so if your export wraps cells in quotes, delete them first.

It reads commas, not tabs. Cells copied straight out of a spreadsheet paste with tabs between them, so export or save as CSV first and copy from that file.

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn a spreadsheet into flashcards?

Export the sheet as CSV with the front in the first column and the back in the second. Open the file in a text editor, copy the lines, and paste them here.

Why is my first card missing?

If the first line contains the word "front", it's treated as a header and skipped. Add a front,back header line on top, or reword that first card.

Can I upload a CSV file?

No. Open the file, copy its contents, and paste them into the box.

Does it save my cards?

No. Nothing is stored and nothing is uploaded. Keep your CSV file and paste it again whenever you want to practice.

Can AI make the flashcards for me instead?

Yes. The AI flashcard maker writes 16 cards from your notes, a PDF or a topic. Guests get 3 free generations a day.
