Turn your own notes into quizzes for a join-style study session
DeckOwl does not host live join codes. It builds quizzes and flashcards from your PDFs, slides, notes or photos so you can study them yourself.
Why a custom quiz beats a ready-made join code
Many people searching for a Quizlet join activity want a quick quiz their class can answer together, but a shared code only helps when the questions match what was taught. A quiz built from your own lecture slides or notes covers the exact terms your course uses.
- Questions come from your own material, not a generic question bank
- Each quiz answer includes an explanation of why it is correct
- Flashcards use spaced repetition to schedule review
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card needed
Quizzes from your material
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
Flashcards with spaced repetition
Cards are generated from your own text and scheduled so you review the hard ones more often.
Works with what you already have
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages, which are read with text recognition.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, notes or a photo of a page.
Generate quizzes and cards
DeckOwl creates questions, flashcards and mind maps from the content you gave it.
Study on your own schedule
Work through the quiz in your browser and let spaced repetition bring back cards you miss.
DeckOwl reads your material and writes multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, plus flashcards you can review over time. Everything runs in your browser on the free plan, and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV are part of the paid Plus plan.
