Turn your notes into a free AI-generated quiz
Upload a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of a page. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, and you can study them in your browser for free.
How a free AI quiz maker fits into studying
Most people who want AI-generated quizzes start with a stack of lecture slides or a chapter PDF and no time to write questions by hand. DeckOwl reads that material, including photos of pages, and writes questions with an explanation for each correct answer.
- Questions are built from the material you upload, not a generic question bank.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats are available.
- Explanations show why the correct answer is right.
- Quizzes can be studied in the browser on the free plan.
Works from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the content so the questions come from what you actually studied.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes an explanation of the correct answer, so a wrong guess becomes a short lesson instead of a dead end.
Study in the browser for free
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study with no download needed. No credit card is required to start.
