How to export from Quizlet

Out of Quizlet in four steps

Step 1

Open your set on Quizlet

Go to the set you want to move — your own or any set you can view.

Step 2

Choose Export

Click the share / ⋯ menu on the set page and pick Export.

Step 3

Pick your delimiters

Keep Tab between term and definition and New line between rows — or choose custom ones.

Step 4

Copy text and paste it here

Hit Copy text, paste it into the box above, and import. Match the delimiters if you changed them.

Or skip the export entirely

The four steps above are the no-install route, and they work on any set you can open. If you're on Chrome and moving more than one set, the Cram browser extension is faster: it adds an import button straight onto the Quizlet set page, so there is no Export menu, no delimiters, and no copy-paste — one click and the deck is in your account.

Coming from Anki instead?

Upload your deck file directly. In Anki, go to File → Export and keep "Anki Deck Package (.apkg)", then switch the importer above to Anki file (.apkg) and drop the file in. Each note's first two fields become the front and back of a card, with Anki's HTML formatting flattened to plain text — images and audio aren't imported.

If your .apkg was saved in Anki's newer format, re-export it with "Support older Anki versions" checked. The text route still works too: export "Notes in Plain Text (.txt)" and paste it above with Tab as the term delimiter — Anki's # header lines are skipped automatically.

What you get after the import

Your cards, kept intact

Every term and definition comes across as a clean question-and-answer card — up to 500 per deck.

Spaced repetition

Imported decks are due immediately, so the app starts scheduling each card for long-term memory right away.

Study offline

Decks sync to your phone, so you can review anywhere — no signal needed.

Switching study apps usually means abandoning the cards you already made — that's the lock-in. This importer removes it: your Quizlet sets and Anki decks move over in one paste.

Importing from Quizlet: FAQ

How do I export my set from Quizlet?
Open the set on Quizlet, click the share or ⋯ menu, and choose Export. Pick the delimiters (Tab between term and definition and New line between rows is the default), press Copy text, then paste the result into the importer on this page.
Is there a way to import without exporting?
Yes — the Cram Chrome extension adds an import button directly to the Quizlet set page, so you skip the Export menu, the delimiters and the copy-paste entirely. It's free, and it's the faster route if you're moving several sets. The paste-based importer on this page stays available and needs no install.
Can I import Anki decks too?
Yes — upload the .apkg file directly. In Anki go to File → Export, keep "Anki Deck Package (.apkg)", and drop the file into the importer above. If Anki saved it in its newer format, re-export with "Support older Anki versions" checked, or fall back to "Notes in Plain Text (.txt)" and paste the text with Tab as the term delimiter.
Does my formatting survive the import?
Your cards come across as plain-text question and answer pairs. From an .apkg upload, Anki's HTML formatting is flattened to plain text (line breaks are kept); images and audio aren't imported. Quizlet's and Anki's text exports never include media in the first place, so nothing extra is lost by pasting.
Where do I study my imported deck?
Your deck saves to your free Cram account the moment you import it. You study it in the Cram iPhone app — sign in with the same account and the deck is waiting, scheduled with spaced repetition and ready to review offline.
Is it free to import my sets?
Importing is free — pasting your export and saving the deck to your Cram account costs nothing. Studying happens in the app. Cram is a paid app — no ads and no data-selling, just a simple subscription with a free trial on the annual plan. You can cancel anytime from your Apple account.
