Export your vocabulary as a PDF

Sometimes you want your words off the phone — a printable cheat sheet for the bus, a handout for a class, an archive copy. SnapVerbo can turn any wordbook (or your entire vocabulary) into a printable PDF of double-sided flashcards.

Open the export sheet

  1. Tap the Flashcards tab in the bottom navigation.
  2. In the AppBar, tap the download icon (tooltip “Export”).

The Export flashcards bottom sheet slides up.

Pick the format and scope

If both PDF and Anki are enabled, a PDF / Anki segmented switch appears at the top — pick PDF (picture-as-pdf icon).

Below the format switch you’ll see a helper line:

Printable flashcards. Print double-sided, flip on short edge, then cut.

Below that, the list of scopes to export:

  • All words (books-on-shelf icon) — every entry across every wordbook.
  • One row per wordbook (collection icon) — scoped to just that wordbook.

Each row shows the entry count. Tap one to start the export.

Include source images (optional)

At the bottom of the sheet there’s an Include images toggle (image icon). When on, the PDF embeds the source photos you captured. The file gets larger but the photos help you remember context.

Default: off. Flip it before tapping a scope row if you want images.

What happens after you tap

  1. SnapVerbo builds the PDF — front side has the source word, back side has the translation, definition, examples, your note, and (if enabled) the source image.
  2. The OS Share sheet opens with the file attached. From here you can save it to Files, AirDrop it, email it, or send it to your printer.
  3. The temporary file is cleaned up after you dismiss the share sheet.

How to print and cut

The export is laid out for double-sided printing with short-edge flipping:

  1. Open the PDF in any printer-friendly viewer.
  2. Print double-sided, flip on short edge (sometimes called “flip on top edge”). This makes the back of each card line up with its front.
  3. Cut along the guide lines.

A typical sheet has multiple cards per page — when you cut and flip, source and translation pair up correctly.

Things to know

  • Same data as the in-app cards. What you see on the back of a flashcard in the app is roughly what you’ll get on the PDF — including AI-generated definitions, examples, and your personal notes.
  • Pronunciation IPA / respelling appears on the back if you’ve added it.
  • Tags and wordbook membership don’t appear on the cards (they’re metadata, not card content).
  • The export works offline — it doesn’t hit the cloud.

When PDF export costs credits

PDF export is a paid feature on lower tiers — you’ll see the standard credits dialog before the build starts. Fluent+ and Poly tiers have it included with no per-export cost.
