Use an AI quiz maker on your own notes, slides or PDFs
DeckOwl reads your course material and writes practice questions with explanations, so you can spend your time studying instead of writing quizzes.
How an AI quiz maker helps you study
Studying from a dense chapter is easier when you can test yourself on it, and an AI quiz maker handles the question writing for you. Upload your slides, a PDF or typed notes, and the tool produces questions with explanations for each answer.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions from one upload
- Explanations written for every answer, not just the correct one
- Study directly in the browser with no credit card needed to start
- Students with a school email get 40% off a paid plan
Three question formats
Get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions from the same source, so you can test recognition and recall.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so a wrong guess becomes a lesson.
Works from your files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Scanned pages are read with text recognition.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, Word file or typed notes. You can also photograph a textbook page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and set how many you want.
Study and review
Answer the quiz in your browser, read the explanations and repeat the questions you missed.
Writing good questions takes time, and most people only reread their notes instead. A quiz built from your own material shows you the gaps quickly, because each wrong answer points to the part of the lesson you have not learned yet.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month and can study in the browser. Paid plans add unlimited generations and exports for tools you already use.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I write for an acids and bases unit?
About 10 to 20 questions per chapter is a practical target for a first review. Mix calculation questions, such as pH, with concept questions about strong versus weak acids.
What is the fastest way to memorize acid-base definitions?
Say each definition in your own words, then test yourself on examples like naming the acid and conjugate base in a reaction. Short answer questions work better than rereading the definitions.
Can I export my quiz?
Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
