How to Import Quizlet Sets into Deck Duck (Copy-Paste Guide)

Have your vocabulary living in Quizlet? You can move any set into Deck Duck in under a minute using Quizlet's built-in export tool and a single copy-paste. No files, no conversion tools, no browser extensions.

Once it's in Deck Duck, that same set powers spaced-repetition practice rooms, live head-to-head battles, and AI-generated stories that reuse your vocabulary in context.

What you'll need

• A Quizlet set you own or can view
• A free Deck Duck account

Step 1: Export your set from Quizlet

1. Open your set on Quizlet in a web browser (the export tool isn't available in the mobile app).
2. Click the three-dots menu (⋯) near the set title and choose Export.
3. In the export dialog, set Between term and definition to Tab.
4. Set Between rows to New line.
5. Click Copy text (or select the text box and copy it manually).

Your clipboard now holds every card in the set, one per line, with a tab between each term and its definition — exactly the format Deck Duck expects.

Tip: Exporting someone else's public set? If the Export option isn't shown, you can still select the terms on the page — but the fastest path is to use a set saved to your own account.

Step 2: Paste it into Deck Duck

1. Log in to Deck Duck and go to Dashboard → Decks.
2. Click New deck.
3. Name the deck and pick its visibility (private, friends, or public).
4. Choose Import cards from… → Quizlet.
5. Paste the exported text into the box and confirm.

Deck Duck reads each line, using the term as the card's front and the definition as its back. In a few seconds your whole set is a fully working deck.

The paste format, explained

If you ever want to hand-write or edit the import text, the format is simply:

term[TAB]definition
term[TAB]definition

One card per line, a single tab between front and back. Blank lines are skipped. Imports are capped at 5,000 cards per deck, which comfortably fits even the biggest Quizlet sets.

Step 3: Put your set to work

Imported decks unlock everything Deck Duck can do:

• Practice rooms schedule your reviews with spaced repetition, so due cards come back exactly when you're about to forget them.
• Battles turn your set into a timed quiz you can play solo, 1v1, or in duos.
• Stories weave your vocabulary into short graded readers with comprehension quizzes.

Troubleshooting

Everything pasted into one giant card. Check the export settings: Between rows must be New line. If it was set to a semicolon, re-export with the correct options.

Terms and definitions are swapped or merged. Make sure Between term and definition is set to Tab, not a comma or dash — commas inside definitions would otherwise split cards in the wrong place.

Special characters look wrong. Copy directly from Quizlet's export dialog rather than from a spreadsheet in between; extra processing can mangle accents and non-Latin scripts. Deck Duck handles Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and accented European text natively.

My set has images or audio. Quizlet's text export only includes text. You can add images and audio to individual cards in Deck Duck after importing — or if your media lives in Anki, use the .apkg import, which carries media across automatically.

Import from Anki too

Migrating from Anki instead of Quizlet? Deck Duck imports .apkg files directly, media included — see the full guide: How to Import Anki Decks into Deck Duck.

That's the whole process. Create a free Deck Duck account, paste in your first Quizlet set, and your flashcards immediately get spaced repetition, stories, and battles.
