Double-sided flashcards where the backs actually land on the right cards. That sounds obvious and it is the thing most free flashcard sheets get wrong: flipping a sheet on its long edge reverses the column order, so the back of the top-left card has to print top-right.

What you can change

  • Duplex layout for long-edge or short-edge flip, checked geometrically
  • Term and definition from a plain list — one line per card
  • Ruled backs instead, if you would rather write them yourself
  • Crop ticks or full cut lines, at any finished size

Printing it correctly

Choose Print, then pick Save as PDF as the destination if you want a file. Set scale to 100% and margins to None — the sheet already carries its exact paper size, so the browser must not rescale it. Anything else and the dimensions you chose are no longer the dimensions on the page.

Questions

Which flip setting do I need?

Match it to your printer’s duplex option. Long-edge is the usual default.

How do I know the backs will line up?

The ordering is asserted rather than eyeballed: for every back slot, where it lands after the physical flip must equal the front position of the card it holds.
