Flashcard Maker
Build, study, and export custom flashcard decks — free, private, and instant.
What is it?
The Flashcard Maker is a free, browser-based study tool that lets you create unlimited digital flashcard decks without creating an account or installing any app. Type the front and back of each card, then switch into Study Mode to flip through them with a smooth animation. The tool keeps track of which cards you marked as "Got it" versus "Try again," giving you a clear picture of your progress. Your entire deck is auto-saved in the browser between sessions. When you are ready to share or back up your work, export the deck as a JSON file (which you can re-import later) or download a printable HTML page to study offline on paper.
How to use it
- Type the front (question, term, or prompt) in the Front field and the back (answer, definition, or response) in the Back field. Click "+ Add Card" to add it to your deck.
- Continue adding cards until your deck is complete. You can edit or delete any card at any time by clicking the pencil or trash icon.
- Switch to "Study Mode" to begin reviewing. The card shows its front face — click it to flip and reveal the back.
- After flipping each card, click "Got it ✓" if you knew the answer or "Try again" if you need more practice. The tool tracks your progress in real time.
- Export your deck as JSON to save and re-import it later, or click "Print / Export HTML" to download a printer-friendly version of all your cards.
Why use this tool
Physical flashcards work great, but they take time to make, are easy to lose, and cannot be shared digitally. Apps like Anki or Quizlet are powerful but require accounts and have learning curves. This tool gives you the core flashcard experience — fast creation, flip-to-study, progress tracking — with zero sign-up friction and full privacy. Your cards are stored only in your browser, never on any server. It is ideal for language vocabulary, exam revision, interview prep, or memorizing any structured set of information.
Frequently asked questions
How many cards can I add to a deck?
There is no hard limit. You can add as many cards as you need. The browser's localStorage is used for auto-save, which supports several thousand cards easily without any issues.
Will my flashcards be saved if I close the browser?
Yes. The deck is automatically saved to your browser's localStorage after every change. When you return to the page, your deck will be restored. Note: clearing your browser data will erase the saved deck, so export to JSON regularly if you want a permanent backup.
What does the JSON export contain?
The JSON file contains all your cards (front text, back text, and a unique ID for each). You can re-import this file at any time to restore your deck, or open it in any text editor to edit the data manually.
Can I study in random order?
Yes. In Study Mode, enable the "Shuffle" toggle to randomize the card order for each session. This is highly recommended — studying in the same order every time can create a false sense of familiarity.
Is the printable version good quality?
Yes. The printable HTML export generates a clean two-column table with all your cards in "Front | Back" format, optimized for printing on standard A4 or letter-size paper.
