Turn your notes into multiple-choice questions with a free MCQ maker
Upload a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of a page. DeckOwl drafts multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer.
How a free MCQ maker fits into studying
Most students have a stack of lecture slides and no time to write practice questions by hand. A free MCQ maker app can read those files and draft multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct choice.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions from PDFs, slides, DOCX files and notes
- Explanations that show why each correct answer is right
- Photos of textbook pages read with text recognition
- Free plan with 3 generations a month and no card needed to start
Questions from your own material
Every question is drawn from the file you upload, so the quiz matches your course rather than generic content.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation of why the correct option is right, so you learn from the mistakes you make.
Study in the browser for free
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study with no download needed.
How it works

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I make from one chapter on the immune system?
Aim for a set you can finish in one sitting, around 15 to 20 questions per chapter. Covering innate versus adaptive immunity, key cell types and antibody function gives the set good range.
What makes a good multiple-choice question about the immune system?
Each question should test one idea, such as which cell produces antibodies, with plausible wrong options like T cells or neutrophils. Explanations should say why the wrong options fail, not only what the right one is.
Does the free plan include exports?
No. The free plan gives you 3 generations a month and lets you study in the browser. Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV is part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month.
