Make free Chinese flashcards from your own study PDF
Upload a textbook chapter, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get Chinese flashcards that match what you are actually learning.
Why a custom deck beats a ready-made one
Most ready-made free Chinese flashcards PDF files are generic word lists that do not match the chapter you are studying this week.
- Upload your own textbook chapter or handout instead of searching for a generic deck.
- Pair characters with pinyin and English meanings on the same card.
- Review with spaced repetition so weak words come back more often.
- Export to PDF on Plus when you want a printed copy for class.
Built from your material
Flashcards come from the vocabulary and characters in your own files, not a generic word list.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so review time goes to the words you are most likely to forget.
Photos work too
Snap a page of handwritten or printed notes and text recognition pulls the characters and definitions in.
How it works
Upload your file
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or an image of a page.
Review the cards
Check the generated front and back pairs and edit anything that looks off.
Study in the browser
Work through the deck with spaced repetition on the free plan, or export to PDF on Plus.
A deck made from your own lesson files follows your syllabus, so the characters and pinyin you see in class are the ones you drill at home. You can start on the free plan with three generations a month and study in the browser at no cost.
If you want a printable copy, PDF export is part of the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.

Frequently asked questions
How should I start learning Chinese characters as a beginner?
Many learners pick up pinyin first so they can say words aloud, then add characters a few at a time. Short daily reviews usually stick better than long weekend sessions.
Should I learn pinyin before characters?
Pinyin helps with pronunciation and gives you a way to read new words early. Most courses introduce characters alongside pinyin, so you can learn both together.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the free plan includes three generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan.
Can I export my flashcards to PDF?
Yes, PDF export is available on the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Plus also includes unlimited generations and Anki and CSV export.
