A flashcard maker helps you memorize anything faster using active recall and spaced repetition. Create a deck of cards with questions on the front and answers on the back, then study them with flip animations. Cards you know well appear less often; tricky ones come back sooner.

How to Use the Flashcard Maker
The Flashcard Maker combines a simple card creator with a spaced repetition study system. Spaced repetition is one of the most evidence-backed learning techniques — it significantly improves long-term retention compared to re-reading notes.
Creating Your First Deck
Click "New Deck" to create a named flashcard deck. Then add cards using the front (question) and back (answer) fields. You can add as many cards as you need. The front might be a vocabulary word, a formula, a historical date, or a concept name — anything that fits a question-and-answer format.
Studying with Flip Animation
Switch to the Study tab and click on a card to flip it and reveal the answer. Then rate yourself: click "Know It!" if you answered correctly, or "Review Again" if you struggled. This rating determines which box the card moves to.
The Box System (Leitner Method)
Cards start in Box 1 (review every session). Correct answers move them to Box 2 (review tomorrow), then Box 3 (3 days), Box 4 (1 week), and finally Box 5 (mastered). Incorrect answers send the card back to Box 1. This ensures you spend more time on difficult cards and less on ones you already know well.
Importing Cards in Bulk
If you have a list of terms and definitions in a spreadsheet, export it as tab-separated values and paste it into the Import tab. Each row becomes one flashcard. This makes it easy to import vocabulary lists, formulas, or any other study material you already have in a table format.
FAQ
Is the Flashcard Maker free?
Yes, completely free with no account required. Create unlimited flashcard decks and study them in your browser.
Are my flashcards saved between sessions?
Yes. Flashcard decks are saved in your browser's localStorage so they persist between sessions. However, they are specific to the browser and device you use — clearing browser data will remove them.
What is spaced repetition?
Spaced repetition is a study technique that schedules review of cards at increasing intervals. Cards you know well are reviewed less frequently; difficult cards come back sooner. This matches how memory works and dramatically improves retention compared to studying all cards equally.
How does the box system work?
Each card starts in Box 1. When you answer correctly, it moves to the next box (less frequent review). When you struggle, it goes back to Box 1. Box 5 is 'mastered.' This is the Leitner spaced repetition system used in physical flashcard boxes.
Can I import flashcards from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Use the Import tab to paste tab-separated text where each line is 'front text TAB back text'. Export from Excel or Google Sheets as tab-separated values and paste directly.
How many cards can I add to a deck?
There's no built-in limit. However, very large decks (500+ cards) may slow down the localStorage save slightly. For best results, break large subjects into focused sub-decks of 20-50 cards each.
