Frequently asked questions

Is AceQuiz a free Quizlet alternative?
Yes. You can import your cards and study them for free — no paywall on the core study modes. Create a free account to save your decks and track your progress across sessions.
Can I import my Quizlet sets?
Yes. In Quizlet, export or copy your set as a term/definition list, then paste it into the importer above. Cards are separated by new lines and each term and definition by a Tab or comma — exactly what Quizlet copies out — so your whole set imports in one step.
Can I import Anki decks (.apkg files)?
Yes. Upload your .apkg file and we read the cards straight out of the deck — no manual retyping. For best results, export from Anki with “Support older Anki versions” checked.
How is this different from Quizlet?
Once your cards are in, you get adaptive spaced review that schedules each card when you're about to forget it, AI explanations that go beyond the definition, and the option to turn any deck into a practice quiz — without study modes hidden behind a subscription.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. You can paste a list or upload an .apkg and preview the parsed cards for free. A free account is only needed to save the deck and start studying it.
Do I need a browser extension to import my cards?
No. You paste your term/definition list or upload an .apkg file directly on this page — nothing to install, and it works the same on mobile as on desktop.
Can I export my deck back out later?
Yes. Your cards stay yours — you can export a deck anytime, so you're never locked in. Import from Quizlet or Anki, study here, and take your cards with you if you ever want to.
Is there a subscription I have to cancel?
No. The core study modes are free, so there's nothing to cancel. If you want extra AI generation for a heavy exam week, there's a $2.99 one-week pass — a one-time week, not an auto-renewing plan you have to remember to turn off.
