Make practice quizzes from your notes with an AI quiz generator
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations you can study in the browser.
Why a custom AI quiz beats a generic question bank
Students who want to test themselves on a specific chapter often end up writing questions by hand. This AI quiz generator reads your own material and builds questions that match what your instructor actually covered.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats from one upload
- Explanations written for every question, right or wrong
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with no credit card needed to start
- Paid exports for PDF, DOCX and Moodle XML when you need them
Three question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from the same material, so you test recognition and recall.
Explanations on every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.
Works from your own files
Use PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a chapter PDF, lecture slides, a Word document or typed notes.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false, short answer or a mix, then generate the quiz.
Study and retake
Answer in the browser, read the explanations, and retake the questions you missed.
A quiz is only useful if the questions are accurate and the answers teach something. Each item comes with an explanation, so you can see why the correct option is right and where your reasoning went off track. Mixing question types helps you check both recognition and recall.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month and can study in the browser. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems.
