StudyStacks is a custom script embedded into a copyable Google Doc™.
Designed to bridge the gap between a simple list and a professional, printable layout, it eliminates the time sink of manually creating tables, centering text, fighting with table cell borders, and recalculating margins just to get a simple set of cards.
By scanning your document for lists (bulleted or not) or even paragraphs, the script instantly generates a perfectly aligned, symmetrical grid in a dedicated print preview window. It’s built to transform a standard text document into classroom-ready materials in seconds, rather than minutes of tedious formatting.
Perfect. Every Time: Don't waste any more time manually creating, sizing, spacing and copying tables.
Zero Formatting: No more merging cells or adjusting column widths in Google Docs tables.
Automatic Sizing: Simply input your desired pixel dimensions, and the script handles the math to fit as many cards as possible on a standard 8.5" x 11" page.
Symmetry Guaranteed: It manages the "gutter gaps" between cards automatically, ensuring everything is perfectly centered for clean cuts.
Double-Sided Logic: The script does the mental gymnastics of reversing the order for the back-side of cards so they align perfectly when flipped.
Launch the Sidebar from the custom menu at the top
Sidebar allows customization of:
Dimensions: Full control over card width and height (px) for anything from small labels to large flashcards.
Typography: Choose between professional and student-friendly fonts (Lexend, Arial, or Comic Neue) and adjust font sizes on the fly.
Corner Styling: Toggle between sharp square edges, modern rounded corners, or "extra rounded" token styles.
Gutter Control: Adjust the spacing between cards to accommodate different cutting tools or styles.
Double-Sided Mode: An intelligent toggle that pairs "Card A" (Front) with "Card B" (Back) and mirrors the layout for seamless duplex printing.
Live Print Preview: A dedicated modal that shows exactly how your cards will sit on the page before you hit print.

Numbers
StudyStacks will NOT include the bullet points or list numbers in the printable cards. StudyStacks does not currently handle images.
Uses beyond the classroom: pantry labels, place cards, product labels, board game replacement cards. Just print on heavy card stock for a quality finish.
This is a direct script-based tool provided outside of the official Google Workspace Marketplace to avoid subscription bloat and keep the overhead low for teachers. One purchase gives you full access to the code to use across your own classroom documents.
As it has not been reviewed or approved by Google, use at your own risk. I do not share any of your user data, as there is no data collection in any of the code.
