Turn your notes into quizzes with a free quiz maker
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page and get questions with explanations. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study. Exports and LMS formats are paid.
What the free plan covers for embeddable quizzes
If you need a free embeddable quiz maker, start by being clear about what each plan can do. The free plan generates 3 quizzes a month and lets you study them in the browser. It does not include exports, so you cannot download a file to place in another site or system.
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, browser study, no exports
- Plus: $39 a year or $7.99 a month, with unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export
- Pro: $14.99 a month, with QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export and bulk upload
- Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start

Exports when you need them
Plus exports PDF and DOCX. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems. The free plan studies in the browser only.

Frequently asked questions
What does it mean to embed a quiz in a web page?
Embedding places a quiz inside another page, usually with an iframe or a provided code snippet, so learners answer it without leaving that site. Linking sends them to a separate page instead.
How many questions should a practice quiz have?
Ten to twenty questions covers most single lessons without overwhelming a learner. Shorter quizzes work well for quick review, and longer ones suit exam preparation across a full unit.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Exports are not part of the free plan.
Which formats can I export to?
Plus exports PDF and DOCX. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. Exports are paid features.
