What a printed sheet looks like

12345678

21436587

Each sheet holds eight cards in two columns and four rows, so every card is about 3.6 × 2.4 inches, a little smaller than a 3×5 index card. The answer side is printed with the columns swapped (card 1's answer sits on the right), because when you turn a sheet over on its long edge, left and right trade places. Fronts and backs alternate page by page: page 1 is sheet 1's questions, page 2 is sheet 1's answers, and so on.

How to print double-sided

1. Open your deck and press Print (or use a ready-made set's print now link above).
2. In the print dialog, choose Two-sided and Flip on long edge (sometimes called long-edge binding). Keep the orientation Portrait and the scale at 100% or Default; do not choose Fit to page if it shrinks one side more than the other.
3. Print one sheet first and hold it up to a light: the card borders on the two sides should line up. If they do, print the rest.

Paper and cutting

Paper	How it works for flashcards
Regular copy paper (20–24 lb)	Fine for a quick drill. Thin enough that the answer can show through, so hold the card against something dark or use the cards for self-checking only.
Heavier paper (28–32 lb)	Noticeably less show-through and still feeds through almost any printer.
Cardstock (65–110 lb cover)	Feels like a real index card and holds up to shuffling. Many home printers handle the lighter end through a rear or manual feed tray; check your printer's paper-weight limit first.

A paper trimmer gives the cleanest cards: cut the sheet in half down the middle first, then across at the three row lines. Scissors work too; the printed borders are your guide.

Getting more out of paper cards

• Say the answer before you flip. Pulling an answer from memory (active recall) is what does the work; re-reading the card is much weaker.
• Sort as you go. Keep two piles, "knew it" and "not yet", and go back through the "not yet" pile until it is empty.
• Space the reviews. In the Leitner box method, cards you know move to a box you review less often, and a miss sends a card back to the first box. Three envelopes labelled daily, every 3 days and weekly is enough to start.
• Mix the order. Shuffle before every round so you learn the cards, not the sequence.

Questions people ask

Is it really free? Yes. Printing, import and sharing are all free, with no signup and no watermark on the printout.

Can I print flashcards on A4 paper? Yes. The layout fits inside both US Letter and A4 with standard margins; pick your paper size in the print dialog.

Can I print just one side? Yes: print the odd pages only to get question cards, or the even pages only for an answer key.

Can I add pictures? Not yet. Cards are text, which keeps them fast to type and easy to read when printed.
