StudyBlue closed. Its address now sends you to Chegg

StudyBlue was a flashcard service with a large shared library. Chegg acquired it and the domain now redirects to Chegg Flashcards. If you had a deck there, the practical question is whether you can still get it out, and that question is the useful part of this page.

Short answer

If you already have your own notes, WeSolve+ builds questions and cards from that file. If you want a library of ready made sets, another app fits better; this page states both.

WeSolve+ is best for someone rebuilding a deck from their own material rather than hunting for the one they lost.

WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you

Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.

The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.

Notes to a deck you keep

This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it. Try the real app now, free!

This tool uses text rules, not AI, and it stores nothing at all. That is the point on this page: a deck that lives only inside one service is a deck you can lose when the service is sold. The copy button gives you tab separated rows, which every serious flashcard app reads. Your text stays in the browser and is never sent anywhere.

What happened, and the check that takes five seconds

StudyBlue ran a flashcard service with a large user contributed library. Chegg acquired it, and studyblue.com now redirects to Chegg Flashcards. Measured on 11 August 2026. You do not have to take that from this page: open the old address and watch where the browser lands, because a redirect is a statement by whoever owns the domain rather than a claim by a commentator. The background is documented separately.

The lesson is about export, not about StudyBlue

Every deck you build is a bet on the service surviving in a form you like. Services get sold, features get retired, and free tiers get narrowed, and none of those events ask you first. The only defence is boring and complete: keep a plain text copy. Tab separated rows, one card per line, front and back, is the format that every serious tool imports, including Anki and Quizlet. If a product cannot give you that, the deck is not really yours, which is the practical meaning of lock in and why data portability is worth checking before you invest a hundred hours.

Shared libraries, and the quality problem nobody mentions

The appeal of a big library is obvious: somebody has already made the deck. The cost is that you are studying somebody else's selection of what matters, written for their syllabus and their misconceptions, and containing their errors. A downloaded deck of two thousand cards will contain items you already know, items your course does not cover, and a handful that are simply wrong, and you will spend real hours before you notice. That is the argument for writing fewer cards yourself, laid out on digital flashcards, and it is not nostalgia: the generation effect is a measured advantage for material you produced.

Rebuilding a deck without starting from nothing

If the deck is gone, the source usually is not. Your notes, the chapter, the handout and the past paper are all still there, and a deck rebuilt from them will match your course better than the one you lost. Paste the material into the tool above and the two sided items come back immediately, in a format you can then keep. The rebuilding is also not wasted time in the way it feels: deciding what deserves a card is the part of card making that teaches, which is why a deck you wrote outperforms one you downloaded even when the downloaded one is larger.

What to check before trusting the next service

Four questions, and the first is the one people skip. Can you export everything as plain text, today, without paying. What happens to your decks if you stop paying, since some products keep the data and lock the features while others do the reverse. Does it work offline, because a service you cannot open on a train is a service you will use less than you think. And is the scheduling algorithm documented, since a scheduler you cannot reason about is one you cannot tune when it starts showing you the wrong cards. None of these are exotic; all four are answerable in ten minutes on any product's own pages.

How WeSolve+ handles this

Upload a PDF, a photograph of a page or a camera shot and WeSolve+ writes the deck from that file and keeps each card attached to the page it came from, so a card you get wrong points back at the source rather than floating free. Cards return on a schedule and the ones you miss collect in their own list. The browser tool above stores nothing at all and hands you plain text, which is the honest answer to everything in the export section. Runs on the web and on Apple devices, and the free tier is enough to test whether the export habit above is worth building. Numbers on pricing.

Sources used on this page

Is StudyBlue still running?

No. The domain redirects to Chegg Flashcards, which you can confirm by opening the old address and watching where your browser lands.

Can I get my old StudyBlue decks back?

Not from this page, and not reliably in general. That is the argument for keeping a plain text export of any deck you care about, made before you need it.

Is Chegg Flashcards the same product?

It is the destination, not a rebuild. Treat feature and price questions as questions for Chegg's own pages rather than for a page written by a competitor.

What export format should I insist on?

Tab separated text, one card per line. Every serious tool reads it, and a product that cannot produce it is holding your deck rather than storing it.

Are big shared libraries worth using?

Sparingly. A large deck written for somebody else's syllabus contains items you know, items you do not need, and a few that are wrong, and finding out costs hours.

Does this tool keep my cards?

No, it keeps nothing. Copy the output before you close the tab, which is also the habit this page is recommending.
