Three ways to make flashcards
1. Type your cards yourself
Create a board for a subject or chapter, give the front and back a label (for example Question and Answer, or French and English) and add your cards. Writing them yourself takes a bit more time, but it already counts as a first round of learning.
2. Import a word list
Is your material already in a spreadsheet? Save it as a CSV file: the first column becomes the front, the second the back. Hundreds of cards are ready in seconds, and cards already in your board are skipped.
3. Let AI make the flashcards
Upload a PDF or photo of your course and choose what you want: vocabulary, questions & answers or concepts. The AI creates the cards; you check them and adjust where needed. Read all about this on the page turn a PDF into flashcards.
How do you make good flashcards?
Whether you make them yourself or with AI, these rules of thumb help you remember more.
- One question per card. A card with one clear answer can be rated honestly. Split long lists into several cards.
- Keep the answer short. A word, a date, a brief definition. The shorter the answer, the faster you see whether you really know it.
- Use your own words. A definition you rewrite yourself is easier to understand and remember than a copy from your course.
- Ask why, not just what. “Why do prices rise during inflation?” teaches you more than “What is inflation?”.
- Use images where you can. A picture of an organ, a map or a painting often works better than a description.
- Practise in both directions. Especially for languages and concepts: can you go from the word to its meaning and back?
Studying with your flashcards
A good card is only half the work. In Flipeezy you study your boards in several ways:
- Flip — classic card flipping, in order or shuffled.
- Multiple choice — pick the right answer from four options.
- Type mode — type the answer yourself; small typos are recognised.
- Spaced repetition — spaced repetition only shows you the cards that are due today.
Your progress is tracked per board, so you can see which cards you’ve mastered and which still need attention. You can also study just your weakest cards or the cards you’ve never practised.
Sharing flashcards with your class
You don’t have to do it all alone. Share a board with classmates via an invite link or email address: they study the same cards with their own progress, and the leaderboard shows who scores best. Ideal for group work or preparing for a test together. Learning a language? Also check out our tips to learn vocabulary with flashcards.
