About Kanji Tab
One kanji every time you open a new tab. Readings, meanings, examples and audio across all five JLPT levels.
Every new tab becomes a moment of study.
Kanji Tab replaces your new tab page with a single kanji — its readings, its meaning, an example word and an example sentence. No drills, no streak to maintain, no notifications. Just one character at a time, in the gaps you already have.
788 kanji across all five JLPT levels. Everything is currently free — no paid tier, nothing locked.
WHAT YOU GET
One kanji per new tab, drawn from the levels you choose
On'yomi and kun'yomi readings, each playable
An example word and sentence, with audio
Study several JLPT levels at once, or one at a time
Mark kanji as memorized so they stop appearing
Browse back and forth through kanji you've seen
"One kanji a day" mode, if you'd rather focus on a single character
Light and dark themes
Your settings and memorized list follow you between signed-in Chrome devices
HOW MUCH IS COVERED — PLEASE READ
Kanji Tab currently includes 788 kanji:
N5 — 80 (the complete official level) N4 — 154 N3 — 154 N2 — 200 N1 — 200
The full JLPT range is around 2,000 kanji, so this is a substantial selection rather than complete coverage. N5 is finished; the higher levels hold the more common and useful characters from each, and the set is still growing.
If you need exhaustive coverage of N1, this isn't that tool yet. If you want a steady drip of useful kanji while you browse, it does that well.
ABOUT THE AUDIO
Words and sentences play pre-generated audio built from the correct kana reading, so you don't get the wrong-reading problem common to extensions that rely purely on browser speech. Some audio still falls back to your browser's built-in voice.
It's machine-generated, so it's occasionally a little off. Good enough to check how something is read; not a substitute for a native speaker.
ABOUT THE CONTENT
Kanji Tab is a study aid, not a dictionary.
The JLPT does not publish official kanji lists, so level groupings follow commonly used community groupings and may differ from other sources. Readings, meanings and example sentences are compiled with care but may contain errors.
There's a feedback link in the settings panel. Corrections are genuinely welcome and do get fixed.
PRIVACY
No accounts, no sign-up, no tracking, no analytics.
Your settings and memorized list stay in your browser. The only thing the extension fetches is pronunciation audio, and only when you press play.

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE
The settings panel contains a small number of clearly marked affiliate links to language-learning and travel services. If you use one, this extension earns a commission at no additional cost to you. They are ordinary links — nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to click them.
Kanji Tab is currently free, with everything unlocked. If a paid tier is added later, anyone already using the extension keeps what they have.
