How it works

From your notes to cards on paper

Add your material, and QuizRise writes the cards and lays them out as a double-sided PDF you can cut.

Step 1: Add your material

Upload notes, files or a link

Upload a PDF, a Word or PowerPoint file or a photo of your notes, paste text, or add a YouTube link. QuizRise picks the key ideas and writes a question on the front of each card and a short answer on the back.

Animation: study material is added as sources one after another, such as files or a YouTube link. Create study set is clicked, the quiz is ready, and a summary, a mind map, flashcards and questions appear.

Step 2: Print as cards

Download the printable PDF

Select Print as cards. The PDF puts 8 cards on each page in 2 columns and 4 rows, with dashed cut lines. Each page of questions is followed by a page of answers with the columns mirrored, so every answer prints behind its question.

Want to study on screen too? Save the set with a free account and review it with spaced repetition in the AI flashcard generator.

  • Q and A marked on every card
  • Long answers get a smaller font so they still fit
Animation: in the Export menu a printable PDF is chosen, Printable cards (PDF) for flashcards or PDF Questions for a quiz. The PDF page appears: eight dashed cut-out cards with questions on the front page and answers on the back page, or a quiz sheet with Name, Surname and Class lines and lettered choices.

Step-by-step guide

How to print flashcards double-sided

Make the cards at the top of this page, select Print as cards, and print the PDF double-sided with flip on long edge. Each front page is followed by its back page, so the answers land behind their questions. Cut along the dashed lines.

  1. Download the cards

    When the cards are ready, select Print as cards and open the PDF.

  2. Print double-sided

    Turn on two-sided printing, choose flip on long edge and print at 100% scale. The table below explains each setting.

  3. Cut along the dashed lines

    Cut the sheets into cards. Check that each answer is behind its question before you cut the whole stack.

  4. Study with the cards

    Say the answer before you turn a card over, and put the cards you miss back in the pile.

What makes a good printed flashcard
  • Weak example: Front: Photosynthesis. Back: a full paragraph copied from the book.

    Too much text to read at a glance, and the small font is hard to see on paper.

  • Better example: Front: Where does the Calvin cycle happen? Back: In the stroma of the chloroplast.

    One question, one short answer that fits on a card.
