Why custom hanzi cards beat generic decks

Most people searching for Chinese hanzi flashcards want cards that match the characters their class actually uses, not a generic list. Your teacher's vocabulary sheet, a photo of the board or your textbook's chapter PDF already tells you what to learn.

  • Use the characters from your own class instead of a fixed textbook list
  • Put the radical and meaning on the back of each card to speed up recall
  • Review missed characters more often with spaced repetition
  • Export to Anki or CSV on a paid plan if you already study there
Example Chinese hanzi flashcards with radicals
好 (hǎo)good, well; built from 女 (woman) and 子 (child)
林 (lín)forest; two 木 (tree) side by side
明 (míng)bright, clear; 日 (sun) and 月 (moon) together
休 (xiū)to rest; 人 (person) leaning against 木 (tree)
汉字 (hànzì)Chinese characters; 汉 (Han) and 字 (character)

Any source you already have

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition, so a snapped character list works.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you miss come back more often, so the characters that give you trouble get the practice they need.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes, or a mind map of radicals and word families.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the character list, vocabulary sheet or slide deck from your class.

Generate and check the cards

Review the generated flashcards and remove any you do not need before studying.

Study a few minutes a day

Spaced repetition schedules each card so review stays short and focused.

Build cards from that material and each card can show a character on the front with its pinyin, meaning and radical on the back. Radicals are especially useful, because seeing 女 (woman) inside 好 (good) helps you remember both the shape and the meaning.

Keep sessions short and daily. Ten to fifteen minutes of review on new and missed characters beats one long cram session before a test.

Frequently asked questions

How many hanzi should I learn each week?

Most learners manage 10 to 20 new characters a week, reviewed in short daily sessions. Spaced repetition handles the older characters so you spend less time on what you already know.

Should I learn stroke order or just recognition first?

Start with recognition and meaning, then practice stroke order by writing a few characters by hand each session. Learning radicals helps you guess the meaning of characters you have not seen before.

Can I export my hanzi cards to Anki?

Yes, but Anki export is a paid feature. The Plus plan costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month and also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
