Out of index cards, or want flashcards without buying a pack? This template prints blank cards on ordinary US Letter paper with dashed cut lines: three 3x5 cards a sheet, two 4x6 cards, or eight small flashcards. The lined style looks like a classic index card, with a red line for the title and blue lines below. If you already have your terms typed out, the flashcard printer puts them on the cards for you.
How to print index cards
Pick a size and style
Choose 3x5, 4x6 or the small 8 a sheet size, lined or blank, and how many sheets you need. The preview shows one sheet.
Print at 100%
Click Print or save as PDF. In the print window, keep the scale at 100% (not Fit to page) so the cards come out the right size. Card stock or thick paper holds up best.
Cut along the dashed lines
Cut each card out along its dashed border with scissors or a paper trimmer.
Which size to choose
3x5 is the standard index card: enough room for a term on one side and a definition on the other. 4x6 fits longer answers, diagrams or a recipe. The small size (3.75 x 2.5 in) fits 8 to a sheet, good for vocabulary and quick facts.
Making flashcards from the cards
Write the question or term on the front and the answer on the back. Keep one idea per card: a card that asks two things is hard to grade yourself on. Say the answer before you flip, sort the cards you missed into their own pile, and go through that pile again tomorrow.
Frequently asked questions
Can I print on index card stock?
This template prints on regular US Letter paper or card stock, then you cut the cards out. Pre-cut index cards need a printer that takes small paper and its own settings.
Why are my cards the wrong size?
The print window probably scaled the page. Set the scale to 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page, and print again.
Can I type text on the cards?
Yes, with the flashcard printer: paste your terms and definitions and it prints them on double-sided cards, 8 a sheet.
Can I save it as a PDF?
Yes. Choose Save as PDF as the printer in the print window.
Is it free?
Yes. No account and no watermark. Everything is made in your browser.
