How to make flashcards
- Make a deck and add cards, or import a CSV file.
- Study by flipping through the cards, or take a quiz.
- Print the cards double-sided, or download the deck as a CSV file.
Examples
State capitals: 28 cards such as Capital of Karnataka / Bengaluru. Printed 8 to a page, that's 4 sheets of paper, each with questions on one side and answers on the other.
A quiz of 20 cards where you miss 6 the first time: those 6 come back until you know them, and the result reads Known first time: 14 of 20 (70%).
A Hindi vocabulary deck: पुस्तक on the front and Book on the back. In the CSV file that card is the line पुस्तक,Book.
About this tool
Write a question on the front and the answer on the back, for capitals, formulas, dates, vocabulary or anything you need to remember. Flip through a deck, shuffle it, or take a quiz where every card you miss comes back until you know it. Hindi, Marathi and other scripts work. Decks are saved in this browser, and you can print them to cut out.
Common questions
How does the quiz work?
You see a question, think of the answer, then show it and say whether you knew it. A card you miss goes back 3 places and keeps coming back until you get it. Your score is the share you knew on the first try.
How should a CSV file look?
One card a line, question first, then a comma and the answer, such as Capital of India,New Delhi. Put a cell in double quotes if it contains a comma. A first line of question,answer is skipped.
How do I print the cards double-sided?
Choose Print cards and turn on double-sided printing, turning on the long edge. Each answer page is laid out in mirror order, so every answer lands on the back of its question. Then cut along the dashed lines.
Why does Hindi look wrong after I open the CSV in Excel?
Excel can misread a file that isn't marked as UTF-8. Files saved from this page carry that mark. When you save from Excel yourself, choose CSV UTF-8.
Is it free to use?

Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs inside your browser, so what you enter stays on your device.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works in your browser on a computer or a phone.
