A powerful design tool to make standout flashcards

When it comes to studying or preparing your presentation, the last thing you want to do is spend countless hours preparing your flashcards only to find that they’re hard to read.

With Canva, you can keep your flashcards sleek and easy to skim-ready by using the same design for each flashcard.

Once you’ve created one flashcard within the editor, you can create duplicate flashcards with one click and simply change the text as needed.

Use design to make your printable flashcards interesting

Color, shapes, images, blobs(opens in a new tab or window), and font type are all design elements that can help you stay focused and keep on track.

Color code your flashcards to match subjects, create bold subheadings to help you keep on track during your pitch deck, or simply make your flashcards attention-grabbing with illustrations to keep your focus levels high.

Save your flashcards and use them again

Chances are, you’re going to need flashcards again. With Canva’s flashcard maker all your designs are automatically saved within the editor.

Once saved, you can make a copy of your designs and adjust as needed. All your images, colors, and fonts are now in one place which saves you time and energy with every future design.

FAQ

For effective flashcards, handwrite your text for better recall, color code your cards for different levels of mastery, limit each card to one question, combine words and images, use mnemonic devices, study from both sides and say questions and answers out loud.

Standard flashcards are typically 3 x 5 or 5 x 7 inches. There are also larger sizes for including more information or mini sizes that come on a binder ring. With an online flashcard maker, you can customize your cards to suit your needs.

Keep it simple. Write a question or key term on one side of the card, and the answer or corresponding definition on the other side. If you need to write more than one line, try using bullet points to keep your cards readable.
