Loona Flashcards Maker — Create, Study & Print Flashcards Free
Flashcards work because they force recall: you see the question, struggle for the answer, then check yourself. That struggle is what builds memory. Build a deck below for any subject — vocabulary, dates, formulas, definitions — and study it in short rounds, keeping only the cards you miss in rotation.
Study Mode
Add at least one card above, then start studying here.
Spaced Review (SM-2) - Long-Term Memory Mode
Study mode above is for cramming. This mode schedules reviews like Anki: rate each card Again / Hard / Good / Easy and the card comes back after 1 day, 6 days, then ever-longer gaps. Cards are only shown when they are due, so a daily visit takes minutes. Progress is saved per deck in this browser.
How to Use the Flashcards Maker
- Name your deck — for example "Biology Chapter 4" — so you can find it again later.
- Add cards: type the question or term in Front and the answer in Back, then press Add card. Repeat; cards appear in the list where you can edit or delete them.
- Study: in Study Mode, read the front, say the answer in your head, then click the card (or Flip) to check. Be honest — that honesty is what makes the tracking useful.
- Sort yourself: press "Know it" or "Still learning" for every card. When the round ends, restart with only the missed cards until none are left.
- Save & share: decks save automatically in this browser. Use Export CSV/JSON to back a deck up or send it to a classmate, and Import to load one back.
How It Works
The maker stores each deck as a simple list of front/back pairs in your browser's local storage — the same plain format used by the CSV and JSON exports, so your data is never locked in. Study mode shows one card at a time and keeps two piles: known and still-learning. Shuffling uses a random reordering of the deck so you cannot memorise the sequence instead of the answers. The print view lays every card out in a grid with numbered fronts and backs, so a printed page becomes a set of paper cards in seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a good flashcard?
Keep one idea per card: a short question, term or prompt on the front and a short, exact answer on the back. "What is the capital of France?" works better than a paragraph. If an answer has three parts, make three cards.
Where are my decks saved?
In your own browser's local storage, on this device only. Nothing is uploaded. If you clear your browser's site data, saved decks are deleted — so export important decks as CSV or JSON files as a backup.
What format are the CSV and JSON exports?
CSV exports have a front,back header row and standard quoting, so they open in Excel, Google Sheets, Anki-style importers and most flashcard apps. JSON exports contain the deck name and a cards array with front/back fields. You can import either format back into this tool.
How does know / don't-know tracking help?
When you mark a card "Still learning", it stays in your review pile; "Know it" cards are set aside. At the end of a round you can restart with only the cards you missed — this is retrieval practice focused exactly where you need it, the fastest way to close gaps before an exam.
What is the Spaced Review (SM-2) mode?
It schedules your cards the way Anki does. Rate each reviewed card Again, Hard, Good or Easy; the SM-2 algorithm then brings it back after growing intervals - 1 day, 6 days, then longer - so you review each card just before you would forget it. Due cards are picked automatically each day, and progress is saved per deck in your browser.
Can I print flashcards to use on paper?
Yes — use the Print Cards button. Cards are laid out in a two-column grid with fronts and backs listed in order, ready to cut out. For double-sided paper cards, write the matching numbers on the back.
