A simple extension for looking up kanji characters.
Kanjidex makes it easier to memorize Japanese kanji characters. The database has over 2,000 kanji characters, so it's perfect for beginners starting out with the study of the Japanese language, although Japanese learners of any level are welcome to use Kanjidex.
It's rather simple to use it, simply highlight the kanji character on a web page and you will get all the details related to it, the meaning, the radical, and the examples of which most come with an audio file.
Now you can also search for words using kanji, hiragana, katakana or the combination of those, to give you more context about an individual kanji character.
Kanjidex allows for the following:
- search kanji by highlighting the kanji on a web page
- highlight multiple kanji characters on the web page (you can select non kanji characters, Kanjidex will search only for kanji characters)
- search kanji in the search field input
- find kanji by writing the English word in the search field
- quick-search with the right click of your mouse button, and you will get quick info about the highlighted kanji
- you can quick search a single or even multiple kanji characters
- save kanji to your kanji vocabulary for later review
- organize your vocabulary by creating decks
- export saved kanji and words to Anki

Happy studying!

- (2022-07-28) Paul Bonnevie: I've been using it for 1.5 years now and this extension is amazingly convenient. The only thing is it would be cool to have the option to search for words by default, because I have to choose it from the menu every time
- (2022-02-24) bahrta sai: I just installed this but so far 偉い!(えらい-great).
- (2021-02-23) JoNeKoYo: The extension is very well made and looks really cute. The only thing I'm missing is a feature to maybe search for kanjis by drawing in case u cant copy/paste them. Otherwise 10/10! :)
- (2021-01-14) Afiq Aizzat: Does it sync with google account?
- (2021-01-01) hyuk: This is so good. Even though my English is not good enough, it is very useful because I can easily search for the order of writing Chinese characters.
- (2020-11-23) Derek Bogaert: This extension is fantastic! Does exactly what I want it to. Just one question, why do the koi (鯉) swim backwards clockwise 「(゚ペ). They need to be reversed :)
