How a Quizizz-style quiz fits into your study routine

Many students already know the appeal of a quick, game-like quiz, but the questions are the hard part to write. Quizizz-style quizzes built from Anki cards let you skip that step: export your card text, paste it in or upload your slides, and DeckOwl writes questions based on what you actually have to learn.

Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes and photos of pages
Mixes multiple choice, true/false and short-answer questions
Gives an explanation for each answer so misses become lessons
Lets you export to Anki or PDF on paid plans, with QTI and Moodle XML on Pro

Example high school biology quiz questions (topic: cell biology)

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out cellular respiration, which converts glucose and oxygen into usable ATP.

True or false: Water moves by osmosis toward the side with higher solute concentration.True. That side has lower water potential, so water moves toward it across the membrane.

What is the main function of ribosomes?Protein synthesis. They read mRNA and link amino acids into a polypeptide chain.

Why do plant cells have a rigid cell wall that animal cells lack?Structural support. The wall resists expansion in hypotonic water, which keeps the cell from bursting.

What does DNA polymerase do during DNA replication?It adds nucleotides to a growing strand that match the template, always building in the 5' to 3' direction.

Generate the full set

Questions from your own material

Every question comes from the file you upload, so the quiz covers your lecture, chapter or course notes instead of generic content.

Explanations for every answer

When you miss a question, the explanation shows why the right answer is correct, which turns a wrong guess into something you can learn from.

Study in the browser or export

The Free plan lets you study in the browser. Paid plans add PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

How it works

Upload or paste your material

Add a PDF, PPTX, DOCX, text file or a photo of a page. Paste exported Anki card text if that is where your notes live.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false, short answer or a mix, and set how many questions you want.

Take the quiz and review misses

Answer in the browser, read the explanations for anything you missed, then generate a fresh set to test yourself again.

Mixing question types helps more than a single format. Multiple choice checks recognition, true/false catches common misconceptions, and short-answer questions force recall. Reading the explanation after each miss closes the gap between what you thought you knew and what the material says.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a study quiz have?

Ten to twenty questions per chapter or lecture is a manageable size for most students. If your material is dense, start with a smaller set and build up once you can answer the first round from memory.

Is a quiz better than rereading my notes for biology?

Retrieval practice, where you answer questions from memory before checking the material, usually improves recall more than rereading. Retest yourself a day or two after the first attempt to strengthen what you learned.

Can I export the quizzes?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export and Anki export are included in Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro at $14.99/month.

Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?

The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
