Double-sided Flashcard Maker

Fronts and backs printed on separate pages, columns automatically mirrored so they align when you flip on the long edge. Free — no sign-up.

Double-sided flashcards are the gold standard for active recall — you see the question, flip the card, and check your answer — but getting the fronts and backs to align after printing is where most home setups go wrong. This tool solves that automatically by mirroring the column order on the back page, so every answer lands directly behind its question when you flip on the long edge.

1 Print Page 1 (questions / fronts)
2 Flip paper on the left (long) edge
3 Print Page 2 (answers / backs)
4 Cut on the crop guides

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the column mirroring work?

Page 1 prints the question side left-to-right. Page 2 prints the answer side with the columns reversed (right-to-left). When you flip the paper on the long (left) edge, each answer lands directly behind its question.

Do I need a duplex printer?

No. You can manually print page 1, flip the paper, and feed it back in for page 2. The column mirroring ensures correct alignment for long-edge flipping.

What if my printer flips on the short edge?

Use the main Flashcard Maker at flashcardprint.com and manually arrange backs to match your printer's flip direction. Short-edge presets may be added in a future update.

Can I turn off double-sided and print single-sided?

Yes — toggle the "Double-sided" switch to off. The preview and print output will revert to question-only cards (single page).

Are my cards saved?

No. All processing happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored. Close the tab and the cards are gone.
