YouTube to Anki — Turn YouTube Videos into Flashcards

Watch educational videos on YouTube? Turn them into Anki flashcards with one click! Paste a video link — YourAnki automatically downloads the transcript and generates questions and answers. Perfect for learning from educational channels, university lectures, and online courses.

Our system automatically downloads YouTube subtitles (including auto-generated ones) and analyzes the video content. The AI identifies key concepts, definitions, and facts, then creates flashcards in Q&A and Cloze formats. Works with videos in English, Polish, and many other languages.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make Anki flashcards from YouTube?

Go to YourAnki.pl, select the 'YouTube' tab, paste the video link, and click 'Generate'. AI will download the transcript and create flashcards automatically.

Does it work with videos in any language?

Yes! YourAnki supports videos with subtitles in any language — both manual and auto-generated captions.

Can I select a specific part of the video?

Currently the system analyzes the entire video transcript. We plan to add the ability to select specific segments in the future.

What if the video has no subtitles?

YouTube auto-generates subtitles for most videos. If there are no subtitles at all, YourAnki won't be able to extract the transcript — in that case, record the lecture and upload it as an audio file.

How many flashcards does AI generate from one video?

It depends on length and content. A typical 20-minute lecture generates 15-30 flashcards with the most important information.
