Flashcard Maker

How to use

1. 1On the Build deck tab, type or paste one card per line. Separate the term from its definition with a colon, a tab, an equals sign, or a spaced hyphen.
2. 2Paste two columns straight from a spreadsheet (they arrive tab separated) or load the sample to see the format. Lines starting with # are skipped as comments.
3. 3Watch the deck preview confirm each card. Any line missing a separator shows as a one-sided card so nothing is lost.
4. 4Press Study deck, or Shuffle and study for a random order. Choose whether the term or the definition shows first.
5. 5Click, tap, or press space to flip a card. Use the arrow keys or the Previous and Next buttons to move, and mark each card Got it or Still learning.
6. 6Use Study only unlearned to drill the cards you have not marked known, then copy the deck as CSV or tab separated text to reuse it in Anki or elsewhere.

About this tool

Flashcard Maker turns a plain list of term and definition pairs into a set of study flashcards you can quiz yourself with, entirely in your browser and without an account. Most flashcard sites ask you to sign up before you can study; this one does not, and nothing you type is uploaded. You build a deck by typing or pasting one card per line, with the term and its answer separated by a colon, a tab, an equals sign, or a spaced hyphen. Because tab is supported you can copy two columns straight out of Google Sheets, Excel, or Numbers and paste them in as a deck, and because the split happens on the first separator only, a definition can itself contain a colon or a dash without breaking the card. Lines that start with a hash are treated as comments and skipped, so you can leave notes to yourself inside the list, and a line with no separator becomes a one-sided card rather than being silently dropped, with a gentle count of how many cards are still missing a definition. As you type, a live deck preview shows every parsed card numbered in order so you can confirm the split looks right before you study. Study mode shows one card at a time on a large card you flip by clicking, tapping, or pressing the space bar; the left and right arrow keys move between cards. You decide which side comes first, term or definition, so the same deck works for recall in either direction, which matters for language learning where you may want to go from the word to the meaning one day and the reverse the next. While studying you mark each card as Got it or Still learning, and a progress bar plus a running count of known, still learning, and unseen cards tracks where you are in the session. You can shuffle the deck into a random order, restart it in the original order, or jump into a focused round that drills only the cards you have not marked known yet, which is the core of how spaced practice and active recall help things stick: see the prompt, try to answer from memory, flip to check, and keep cycling the ones you miss. The deck can be copied back out as comma separated values or as tab separated text that imports cleanly into Anki and most other flashcard apps, so the tool doubles as a quick way to format a study set for somewhere else. Progress and the deck itself live in the page for the current session only and clear when you refresh, so the tool makes no promise to remember your cards between visits; keep your source list in the text box or export it if you want to reuse it. Useful for students cramming for a test, language learners building vocabulary, teachers and tutors prepping a quick quiz, and anyone memorizing terms, definitions, dates, or formulas.
