Tired Of Fighting With Quizlet Export?

If you’ve ever tried to export your Quizlet sets and move them somewhere else, you know it can be… annoying. CSVs, weird formatting, copy-paste chaos, losing images – all of it.

If you’re thinking about switching to something faster and more powerful, like Flashrecall, you’re on the right track. Flashrecall makes it super easy to bring your Quizlet decks over and then actually study better with them, not just store them.

Here’s the app, by the way:

👉 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flashrecall-study-flashcards/id6746757085

Let’s walk through:

  • How Quizlet export works
  • The limitations nobody tells you about
  • How to move your Quizlet cards into Flashrecall
  • And why Flashrecall is just a better long-term home for your flashcards

How Quizlet Export Works (And Why It’s So Messy)

On Quizlet, the basic export flow usually looks like this:

1. Open your set

2. Click the More or menu

3. Choose Export

4. Copy the text or download as a file (usually tab-separated or CSV)

5. Paste or import that into another app

Sounds simple… until:

  • Your images don’t transfer
  • Formatting gets messed up
  • Extra columns appear (like hints or extra fields)
  • You have to repeat this for every single set

If you only have one or two small sets, it’s fine.

If you have 30+ decks for school, languages, or med school? It’s a headache.

That’s where Flashrecall comes in and makes your life easier.

Why Move Your Quizlet Cards To Flashrecall?

Quizlet is good for basic flashcards. But if you care about actually remembering stuff long term, you’ll want:

  • Proper spaced repetition built in
  • Active recall by default (not just “flip and hope you remember”)
  • Smart reminders so you don’t forget to review
  • A smoother way to create and organize big decks

Flashrecall does all of that, and it’s built specifically for fast, modern studying on iPhone and iPad.

Step-By-Step: Export From Quizlet And Import Into Flashrecall

1. Export Your Quizlet Set

On Quizlet:

1. Open the set you want to export

2. Click the … (More) button

3. Select Export

4. Choose your format (usually text with term and definition separated by a tab or semicolon)

5. Click Copy text or download the file

You’ll end up with something like:

```

Photosynthesis Process by which plants make food

Mitochondria Powerhouse of the cell

Chlorophyll Green pigment in plants

```

Perfect – that’s exactly what we want.

2. Decide How You Want To Bring It Into Flashrecall

Flashrecall gives you a few options to move your Quizlet content over:

If you’ve copied the exported text from Quizlet:

  • In Flashrecall, create a new deck
  • Choose to add cards
  • Paste your text
  • Split by line / tab (Flashrecall makes this easy)
  • It will automatically turn each line into a front/back flashcard

Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :

This is great if you exported as a simple text list.

If you downloaded your Quizlet export as a file:

Flashrecall can make flashcards from files, including:

  • PDFs
  • Text files
  • Some structured formats

You can import your file and let Flashrecall auto-generate cards from it. Super useful if you’re dealing with bigger decks.

Here’s where Flashrecall gets fun:

Even if your Quizlet export is messy, you can:

  • Paste the content into Flashrecall
  • Let Flashrecall auto-generate cleaner cards
  • Add images, audio, or examples on top

And if you’re unsure about something on a card, you can literally chat with the flashcard to get explanations and extra context. Quizlet doesn’t do that.

Why Flashrecall Is A Better Long-Term Home Than Quizlet

Once your cards are in Flashrecall, the experience is just… smoother. Here’s how it beats the typical Quizlet export/import struggle.

1. Built-In Spaced Repetition (Without You Babysitting It)

Flashrecall has spaced repetition baked in.

  • It automatically schedules your reviews
  • You get study reminders so you don’t forget
  • Hard cards show up more often, easy ones less often

You don’t have to manually decide, “What should I review today?”

Flashrecall just tells you: these are the cards your brain is about to forget – review them now.

That’s way more powerful than just random Quizlet practice.

2. Active Recall Is The Default

Flashrecall is designed around active recall, which is the whole point of flashcards:

  • You see the prompt
  • You try to remember the answer before revealing it
  • Then you rate how well you knew it

This is how you actually lock info into long-term memory – especially for:

  • Exams
  • Languages
  • Medicine
  • Law
  • Business concepts
  • School and university subjects

And Flashrecall works offline, so you can review on the bus, in class, on a plane – no Wi‑Fi needed.

3. You Can Make New Cards Instantly (Not Just From Quizlet)

Once you’ve moved your Quizlet sets over, you’re not stuck manually typing forever. Flashrecall lets you create cards from almost anything:

  • Images – take a photo of a textbook page or notes → auto flashcards
  • Text – paste lecture notes or summaries
  • Audio – great for language learning or listening-based subjects
  • PDFs – upload a PDF and turn it into cards
  • YouTube links – pull key info from videos
  • Typed prompts – tell it what you’re learning, and it helps generate cards

Or, of course, you can still make flashcards manually if you like full control.

This means you’re not just importing from Quizlet once – you’re upgrading to a system that makes card creation ridiculously fast.

4. “Chat With Your Flashcard” When You’re Confused

This is one of the coolest parts.

In Flashrecall, if you don’t understand a card fully, you can:

  • Open the card
  • Chat with it to get more explanation, examples, or breakdowns

Example:

You have a card that says:

> Front: “What is opportunity cost?”

> Back: “The value of the next best alternative foregone.”

You can chat with it and ask:

  • “Explain this like I’m 15.”
  • “Give me a real-life example.”
  • “How does this apply to business decisions?”

Now your flashcards aren’t just static – they’re interactive mini-tutors.

5. Great For Literally Any Subject

Once your Quizlet decks are in Flashrecall, you can use the same app for everything:

  • Languages – vocab, grammar rules, phrases, listening practice
  • Exams – SAT, MCAT, USMLE, bar exam, finals, midterms
  • School – history dates, biology terms, math formulas
  • University – psychology concepts, economics, engineering, law
  • Business – frameworks, sales scripts, product knowledge

And because Flashrecall is fast, modern, and easy to use, it doesn’t feel like a chore to open it and study for 5–10 minutes.

Quizlet vs Flashrecall: Quick Comparison After Export

  • Basic export works, but clunky
  • Limited spaced repetition
  • Mostly static flashcards
  • Web-first experience
  • Easy to rebuild/import your Quizlet sets
  • Automatic spaced repetition with reminders
  • Active recall built in
  • Make cards from images, audio, PDFs, YouTube, text
  • Chat with your flashcards when you’re stuck
  • Works offline
  • Free to start
  • Designed for iPhone and iPad

If you’re already going through the trouble of exporting from Quizlet, you might as well move to something that actually levels up your learning, not just stores your cards.

Example: Moving A Real Quizlet Deck To Flashrecall

Let’s say you’ve got a Quizlet deck for French vocabulary:

  • 200 words
  • Some phrases
  • A few messy notes

You:

1. Export the set from Quizlet

2. Paste the export into Flashrecall

3. Flashrecall converts it into front/back cards

4. You add audio for pronunciation (or generate it)

5. Turn on spaced repetition and let the app schedule reviews

Now instead of randomly flipping through cards on Quizlet, you’re:

  • Practicing at the right time for memory
  • Getting reminders so you don’t fall off
  • Able to chat with tricky words for extra examples or usage

Same content, completely different learning outcome.

How To Get Started Right Now

If you’re thinking, “Okay, I’m ready to move on from Quizlet exports and actually upgrade my study setup,” here’s a simple plan:

1. Download Flashrecall

👉 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flashrecall-study-flashcards/id6746757085

2. Pick one Quizlet set to export and import first

3. Test how it feels to study that deck with:

  • Spaced repetition
  • Active recall
  • Study reminders

4. Once you like it, batch-move the rest over gradually

No need to migrate everything in one painful night. Just start with your most important deck (exam coming up, language you’re serious about, etc.).

Final Thoughts: Quizlet Export Is Just Step One

Exporting from Quizlet isn’t the end goal. The real goal is:

  • Remembering more
  • Forgetting less

  • Actually understanding what you’re learning

Flashrecall gives you that with:

  • Smart spaced repetition
  • Active recall
  • Fast card creation from almost anything

  • And that “chat with your flashcard” magic when you’re stuck

So yeah, use Quizlet export to grab your old sets.
