How a photo becomes a practice quiz
Photographing a textbook page at 11 p.m. and wanting a quiz before the exam is a common situation, and a free AI quiz generator from image can handle it by reading the text in the photo first.

How it works
Take a photo
Photograph the page or upload an image of your notes or slides.
Generate the quiz
DeckOwl reads the text and writes questions from the material on the page.
Study and check
Answer the questions, then read the explanations to see where your understanding has gaps.
Photos work best when the page is flat, well lit and the text is fully in frame. Printed pages, slide decks and typed notes give the cleanest questions, so review each one before you rely on it for studying.
The free plan lets you study the quiz in your browser. Paid plans add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV for printing or for moving cards into another app.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I make from one chapter?
Most chapters work well with 10 to 20 questions, enough to cover each main idea at least twice. Generate a short quiz first and add more only where you still miss answers.
Can DeckOwl read a photo of a textbook page?
Yes. Images of pages are read with text recognition, so the text needs to be clear and in focus for the questions to come out accurately.
Does the free plan include exports?
No. The free plan gives three generations a month with browser study, and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV require the Plus plan.
How should I study constitutional questions I keep getting wrong?
Reread the explanation for each missed question, then find the article or amendment it cites. Retest yourself a day later to check whether the answer stuck.
