Turn your own notes into a quiz you can download
DeckOwl builds multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations from your PDFs, slides or photos of pages. Study in the browser for free, then download to PDF or DOCX on Plus.
Why a custom quiz beats a generic download
Many people looking for downloadable AI quizzes want a ready-made set they can print or share, but a quiz built from your own lecture slides tests what your class actually covers.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions
- Explanations for every answer
- Spaced repetition for flashcards made from the same material
- PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page and get questions based on what you actually need to learn.
Explanations on every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question comes with an explanation, so every wrong answer becomes a short lesson.
Download on Plus
The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export along with Anki and CSV, for $99.90/year or $9.99/month.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice quiz have for a unit exam?
Start with 10 to 15 questions per lecture or chapter so you can review each one with its explanation. Add more once you can answer most of them without looking.
How should I study from a quiz I missed questions on?
Reread the explanation, then write the correct answer in your own words without looking. Retry the missed questions after a day, because spaced review makes recall stick better.
Can I download my quiz as a file?
Yes, on paid plans. Plus lets you export to PDF or DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start.
