Why your own lessons make better Japanese flashcards

Most Japanese courses hand you vocabulary lists, kanji pages and grammar notes in different formats, and a Japanese flashcards app that reads those files can pull them into one deck. Upload the PDF or photo, and the generator writes cards from the words and patterns already on the page.

  • Kana and kanji cards pulled from your textbook pages
  • Vocabulary decks built from your lesson slides
  • Review timing set by what you actually forget
  • Free to start, with no credit card needed

Generate the full set

Upload almost anything

Add PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes or photos of pages, which are read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at the intervals where you are most likely to forget them, so kana and kanji stick.

Export when you need it

Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for classroom use.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a textbook PDF, lesson slides, notes or a photo of a page with Japanese text.

Generate flashcards

The AI turns vocabulary, kana, kanji and grammar points into question and answer cards.

Study on schedule

Review a few minutes a day while spaced repetition shows the cards you miss more often.

Spaced repetition handles the rest by showing each card again just before you would forget it, so new kanji stay alongside older vocabulary instead of piling up.

Frequently asked questions

How many Japanese flashcards should I make per study session?

Many learners do well with about 15 to 30 new cards a session, since too many new words at once makes recall harder. Spaced repetition then brings back the older cards right before you would forget them.

What is the best way to memorize hiragana and katakana?

Learn hiragana first, then katakana, in small groups of characters that look alike, and practice writing them as well as recognizing them. Cards with the character on the front and the romanization on the back work well for daily drills.

Can I export my Japanese flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is available on the Plus plan, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Can I make flashcards from a photo of a Japanese textbook page?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload one and get cards from it. Check the generated cards against the page, especially kanji readings.
