Free flashcard and flip card maker

Genially is the best free tool for creating clickable flip cards and flashcards if you want professional design results, without coding.

It’s ideal for instructional designers, educators, and marketing teams who need advanced customization, interactivity, and design features.

Unlike standard flashcard apps for students, Genially allows you to create other types of interactive content and embed cards in eLearning courses, websites, digital brochures, presentations, social media posts and more.

One of the core principals behind flashcards is active recall. Instead of reading passively, learners are forced to retrieve information from memory. This is proven to strengthen neural connections in the brain and improve memorization.

As well as helping information to “stick”, this process of self-assessment encourages learners to evaluate what they know. When they flip the card to reveal the answer or solution, learners receive instant feedback on their progress and areas they need to work on.

Spaced repetition is another learning technique that lends itself to flashcards. Learners are shown new and more difficult cards more frequently than older and easier cards. This spacing method has been found to be effective at improving long term memory.

Although the question and answer format is popular, flip cards have a wide range of applications. Because each card focuses on one topic, they’re ideal for content chunking. This means breaking down complex information and reducing cognitive load. The short, condensed format is mobile-friendly and portable, perfect for microlearning and study on the go.

You can create a digital version of classic match-the-card memory games with Genially’s Find the Pair widget. Also known as Pelmanism, Concentration, or Memory, players have to turn over face-down cards until they find matching pairs.

Genially’s free widget includes flip animations, sound effects, immediate feedback, and success animations like confetti. It’s ideal for warmup activities and revision games, and can be played individually or in groups.
