Turn your text into multiple choice questions in minutes, free to start
Paste notes, upload a PDF or slide deck, and DeckOwl writes multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of why the answer is right.
Why a free generator helps before exam week
When a long chapter of notes is due for review, writing practice questions by hand can take longer than the review itself. A free multiple choice question generator from text turns that reading into a quiz you can take immediately, so your time goes to learning the material.
- Works with typed notes, PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, and photos of pages read with text recognition.
- Each question includes an explanation of the correct answer.
- Free plan: three generations per month, studied in the browser.
- Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are available on paid plans.
Questions from your own material
Every question comes from the text you provide, so the quiz matches your course rather than a generic question bank.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so wrong answers become a lesson instead of a dead end.
Study in the browser
The free plan lets you take generated quizzes right away in the browser, with no credit card needed to start.
How it works
Paste or upload
Add typed notes, a PDF, a DOCX, a PPTX or a photo of a page.
Choose the question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions and how many you want.
Take the quiz
Answer the questions, read the explanations and go back over anything you missed.
Good multiple choice questions depend on plausible wrong answers, often called distractors. Generated questions still need your judgment, so read each one, check it against your source and remove any that test trivia instead of understanding.
The free plan covers three generations a month, which is enough to try the tool on a real set of notes. Paid plans add unlimited generations and file exports for when you need questions in another format.

Frequently asked questions
How many multiple choice questions should I write for the respiratory system?
Aim for a set you can finish in one sitting, often 10 to 20 questions per topic such as gas exchange or breathing control. Focus on the concepts you find hardest, and mix in questions that ask why something happens, not just what it is called.
What makes a good wrong answer in a multiple choice question?
A good distractor is a plausible error a student might actually make, such as confusing the diaphragm with the intercostal muscles. Avoid obviously silly options, since they let test takers guess without learning anything.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes, the free plan includes three generations per month and lets you study in the browser, with no credit card needed to start. Exports are not included on the free plan.
Which formats can I export generated questions to?
PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV exports are available on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are available on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.
