Why students use it
Learn from video without watching it twice
Skip the rewatching
An hour-long lecture becomes a deck you can review in minutes, instead of scrubbing back through the video before the exam.
Lectures, tutorials, explainers
Works with YouTube videos that have spoken content: recorded classes, explainer channels, conference talks and tutorials.
The ideas, not the filler
CramX pulls out the definitions, steps and key points from what was said and leaves out the intros and tangents.
Spaced repetition built in
Rate each card as you review, and the ones you struggle with come back sooner.
Quiz yourself
Switch the deck into a multiple-choice quiz to check the lecture actually sank in.
Edit anything
Reword cards, fix details and add your own notes from class. The deck is yours.

How do I turn a YouTube video into flashcards?
Open the flashcard maker, choose the YouTube option and paste the video link. CramX uses what is said in the video to write question-and-answer flashcards you can review and edit.
Which videos work best?
Videos where the teaching is spoken aloud, such as lectures, tutorials and explainers. Videos without speech, or that rely only on what is shown on screen, give weaker results.
Is it free?
You can start free: new accounts get 50 points, and a deck costs 5 to 15 points depending on how many cards you ask for. Premium plans include unlimited flashcard generation.
Can I edit the cards afterwards?
Yes. Every card can be reworded, corrected or deleted, and you can add your own.
Can I make flashcards from notes or PDFs too?
Yes. The same flashcard maker accepts pasted notes and PDF, Word or PowerPoint files, so a lecture’s slides and its recording can both become cards.
That lecture you half-watched? Make it count.
Paste the link and have a deck ready before your next study session.
