Turn a web link into an AI quiz with explanations
Paste the text from a page or save it as a PDF, then DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations.
How to turn a link into a quiz
Most web pages cannot be uploaded directly, so the fastest route to an AI quiz maker from a link is to copy the article text or save the page as a PDF first. A saved PDF keeps headings and figures in order, which helps the generator pick out the key facts.
- Copy the article text or save the page as a PDF before uploading.
- Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions to match how you will be tested.
- Read the explanation for every miss, not just the correct letter.
- Retake the quiz after a day or two to check what you still remember.
Works from pages you can save
Copy the article text or save the web page as a PDF, then upload it along with DOCX, PPTX or plain notes.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer question comes with an explanation, so wrong answers teach you something.
Study in the browser
The free plan lets you take the quiz online with 3 generations per month and no credit card needed to start.
How it works
Get the text from the link
Select and copy the article text, or save the page as a PDF from your browser's print menu.
Upload or paste it
Add the PDF or paste the text into DeckOwl. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition too.
Answer and review
Take the quiz, read the explanations for any misses, and export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan.
Quiz the material while it is still fresh. Write questions that test definitions, causes and comparisons rather than trivia, and check each answer against the explanation. Repeating the quiz a day or two later shows which ideas have stuck.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I make from one article?
Start with 10 to 15 questions for a article of a few pages, then add more only if the material covers several separate ideas. Fewer, well-checked questions usually teach more than a long list you skim.
What is the best way to quiz myself on a long web article?
Split the article into sections and quiz each one separately, then take a mixed quiz on the whole thing. Explaining each answer aloud before you check it strengthens recall.
Can I export the quiz I make from a link?
PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan, which is $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.
Is there a free way to try it first?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed. Students can get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
