Get free Gimkit-style quizzes built from your own notes
DeckOwl turns your PDFs, slides or notes into multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser.
What the free plan covers and what needs a paid plan
If you are asking whether you can use free Gimkit-style quizzes, it helps to separate the game from the study material. Students who want practice on their own course content usually care more about the questions than the game format.
- Free plan: 3 generations a month, studying in the browser, no exports
- Plus: $39/year or $7.99/month, unlimited generations, PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export
- Pro: $14.99/month, stronger AI model, bulk upload, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export
- Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start
Your material, your questions
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or a photo of a page. The text is read and turned into questions from your own course material.
An explanation for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer still teaches you something.
Export when you need it
Export is a paid feature. PDF and DOCX come with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML come with Pro, so the free plan stays in the browser.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Each question includes an explanation.
Study in the browser
Work through the questions on the free plan, which includes 3 generations a month.
DeckOwl is a separate tool, not Gimkit. It turns your own PDFs, slides, notes or photographed pages into multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations. The free plan gives you 3 generations a month and lets you study in the browser, with no exports.
If you want the questions in another app, paid plans add export. Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month and includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export with unlimited generations. Pro is $14.99/month and adds bulk upload, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export. Students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How do I study cell biology with practice questions?
Start with the main organelles and their functions, then answer questions about which structure does which job. Read the explanation for every answer you miss before moving on.
Is quizzing myself better than rereading my notes?
Active recall, where you pull an answer from memory, usually strengthens learning more than rereading does. Space your sessions across several days for better retention.
Can I play a free Gimkit-style game with DeckOwl?
DeckOwl is not Gimkit and does not list a live game mode. The free plan lets you generate 3 sets of questions a month and study them in your browser.
Do I have to pay to export my quiz?
Yes. Export is a paid feature: PDF and DOCX come with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML come with Pro.
