How to make a free online quiz from your own notes
A free online quiz maker works best when it starts from material you already have. DeckOwl reads a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, pasted notes or a photo of a page, then writes questions with explanations for each answer. You review the set in your browser and cut anything weak before you study.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from the same upload
- Explanations written for every question, so wrong answers teach you something
- Three free generations each month with no credit card needed to start
- Paid exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice quiz have for Spanish present-tense verbs?
Ten to fifteen questions is a practical size for one sitting of present-tense conjugation. Mixing regular and irregular verbs in the same quiz makes you recall patterns rather than memorize a single list.
Which verbs should I drill first in Spanish present tense?
Start with the high-frequency irregulars such as ser, estar, tener and ir, since they appear in almost every conversation. Then move to regular -ar, -er and -ir verbs, which follow predictable endings.
Can I export my free quiz to Word or PDF?
Exports are not included in the free plan, which lets you study quizzes in the browser only. DOCX and PDF export are available on the Plus plan.
Does the free plan have a limit?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month. Plus offers unlimited generations for $39/year or $7.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
