How to turn Google Slides into flashcards

Google Slides has no export to flashcards, but it exports to formats Quizcard reads directly. Two minutes from a shared lecture deck to a study deck.

Steps

1. In Google Slides, open File → Download and choose Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx). If the slides are mostly pictures and diagrams, choose PDF Document instead so the figures can be cropped onto cards.
2. In Quizcard, open a folder, click Upload file, and pick the exported file.
3. Click Make flashcards. Each slide is read in order; titles and bullets become question-and-answer cards grouped by topic.
4. Delete cards that repeat what you already know and study the rest.

PowerPoint export or PDF export?

• .pptx when the slides are mostly text. It is read slide by slide and one slide counts as one page toward your plan.
• PDF when the slides carry charts, graphs, or labelled diagrams. Quizcard crops those onto cards, which .pptx cannot do today.
• Speaker notes are not read in either format. If the lecturer put the substance in the notes, paste those in as text instead.

Lecturer shared a view-only deck?

If you cannot download, use File → Make a copy first, or ask for download access. As a last resort, File → Print preview can save a PDF from the browser’s print dialog.
