Paper Flashcards

Convert CSV rows into printable flashcards

Upload or paste CSV and TSV study rows with front/back, question/answer, or term/definition columns and preview them as printable flashcard sheets.

Direct answer: upload or paste a CSV or TSV file with columns such as front/back, question/answer, or term/definition. Paper Flashcards reads those fields, builds card pairs, and previews them as printable sheets before using the browser print dialog.

A clean CSV can start with headers like term,definition or question,answer. If a field contains a comma, wrap that field in quotes so the parser keeps it inside one card side instead of splitting it into extra columns.

Two-column rows also work for simple decks. The first column becomes the front of the card and the second column becomes the back, which is useful for vocabulary, law definitions, formulas, and exam prompts.

The most common CSV mistake is exporting extra blank rows or unrelated columns. Remove empty rows when possible, or confirm the live preview so you can catch blank cards before printing.

The workflow is intentionally simple for exam weeks and late-night study sessions: paste the deck, confirm that each front and back is paired correctly, choose the paper layout, and use the browser print dialog to print or save a PDF.

Supported input is practical rather than ceremonial. Paper Flashcards can handle copied study app text, tab-separated rows, spreadsheet exports, CSV or TSV files, markdown Q/A blocks, and basic term-definition notes without requiring a special account format.

The preview is useful before printing because physical cards depend on paper size, orientation, grid density, duplex flip direction, and trimming style. Seeing the front and back sheets first reduces wasted paper and makes it easier to catch formatting mistakes.

The app avoids canvas screenshots and image-based text exports. Card text is rendered as real browser text so it stays sharp on screen, in browser print preview, and on the physical sheet that comes out of the printer.

• No login or password is required for the public beta.
• Flashcard text stays in the browser instead of being uploaded.
• Decks up to 36 cards can print during the public beta.
• The full workspace supports live preview, duplex setup, and browser-native PDF printing.

JavaScript loads the full interactive workspace for paste, preview, layout controls, and browser-native printing. This static summary keeps the page understandable for crawlers and no-script visitors.
