Make a Quiz from Any YouTube Video

Paste a YouTube link and QuickTube's AI writes multiple-choice questions from what the video actually says. Answer them, see your score, and read why each answer is right. Try it without an account: you get 30 free AI generations.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste the video link

    A lecture, tutorial, explainer or documentary: any public YouTube video with captions.

  2. 2

    Open the Quiz tab

    The AI reads the full transcript and writes questions on its key ideas, facts and examples.

  3. 3

    Take the quiz

    Pick an answer for each question, then check your score and the explanations.

What you get

Four options per question

Every question is multiple choice with four plausible answers and one correct one.

An explanation for every answer

Each question says why the correct answer is right, so a wrong answer still teaches you something.

Up to 20 questions

You get 5 questions by default. Set any number from 1 to 20 in your video preferences.

In the video’s language

Questions, options and explanations are written in the language of the transcript.

Who uses a YouTube quiz generator

Students use it to check they understood a recorded lecture before an exam, rather than re-watching it. Teachers use it to draft comprehension questions for a video they assign, then edit the ones they keep. Anyone learning from tutorials uses it as a quick self-test that the important parts stuck.

How the questions are written

The AI is asked to focus on the main ideas, important facts, practical examples and key distinctions in the video, and to only ask about things clearly stated or implied in the transcript. It is still an AI, so read the explanations: if a question looks wrong, the transcript is the source of truth. A quiz costs 5 credits.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a quiz from a YouTube video?

Paste the video link into QuickTube and open the Quiz tab. The AI writes multiple-choice questions from the transcript, each with four options, the correct answer and a short explanation. You get 5 questions by default and can set up to 20 in your preferences. A quiz costs 5 credits.

Is QuickTube free?

Fetching and downloading YouTube transcripts in the QuickTube web app is free and needs no account. AI features such as summaries, highlights, quizzes and chat use credits. Visitors without an account get 30 free AI generations, and new accounts receive 400 free credits after verifying their email. More credits are available as one-time packs, with no subscription.

Does it work with videos in other languages?

Yes. QuickTube uses the captions in whatever language the video has them, preferring English when an English track exists. It does not translate them. Quizzes are written in the language of the transcript. Through the API you can ask for specific languages in order of preference.

Which YouTube videos work?

Any public YouTube video that has captions, whether uploaded by the creator or auto-generated by YouTube. Private videos and videos with captions turned off cannot be transcribed.

Can AI agents use QuickTube?

Yes. QuickTube has a REST API and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, installable with "pip install quicktube-mcp", that let tools such as Claude Code and Claude Desktop fetch transcripts, summarize videos and generate quizzes. Fetching a transcript through the API costs 1 credit.
