About Flashcard Maker — Free Online Study Tool

Create and study flashcards directly in your browser with our free Flashcard Maker. Organize cards into named decks, add front-and-back question-answer pairs, then launch an interactive flip-card study session with shuffled order and progress tracking. All data is saved locally in your browser via localStorage, so your flashcards persist between sessions without any account or sign-up.

Flashcards are one of the most effective active recall study techniques, supported by decades of cognitive science research. By testing yourself rather than passively re-reading notes, you strengthen memory connections and identify knowledge gaps faster. Our tool makes it easy to build, edit, and review flashcard decks on any device.

The study mode presents each card in random order with a beautiful 3D flip animation. Mark each card as "Know It" or "Don't Know," and see your final score at the end of each session. With unlimited decks and cards, this flashcard maker scales from a quick vocabulary quiz to a full exam prep library.

Tips & Best Practices

Keep cards atomic: Each flashcard should test one fact or concept. Shorter cards lead to faster, more focused reviews.
Use active recall: Always try to answer mentally before flipping the card. Passive reading is far less effective for memory.
Study in short sessions: Multiple 10-15 minute sessions spread throughout the day beat a single long cram session.
Focus on unknowns: After each session, note which cards you missed and prioritize them in your next review.
Organize by topic: Create separate decks for different subjects or chapters to keep your study material structured.
Review regularly: Return to each deck every few days to reinforce long-term memory through spaced repetition principles.
