How a free online quiz maker fits into studying
Most people who want a quick self-check start with their own material, not a blank form. A free online quiz maker that reads your notes or slides saves that setup time and produces questions that match what you were actually taught.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions from one upload
- Explanations for every answer, right or wrong
- Quizzes you can take in the browser on the free plan
- Paid plans add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions, each with an explanation of the answer.
Works in your browser
The free plan lets you take quizzes online with nothing to install, and includes 3 generations per month.
Exports on paid plans
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning systems.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page.
Generate the quiz
DeckOwl writes questions with explanations based on your content.
Take it and review
Answer in the browser, read each explanation, then retake the questions you missed.
Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you something instead of just marking you down. Open questions are useful for checking whether you can explain an idea, not only recognize it.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should I generate for a practice quiz?
Start with 10 to 15 questions per section of your notes so each topic gets checked. Retake the ones you missed before adding more, since repeated misses show where your gaps are.
What is the best way to study from a quiz?
Answer without looking at your notes, then read the explanation for every question, including the ones you got right. Come back to missed questions after a day or two.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports are not included on the free plan.
Which export formats need a paid plan?
PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export come with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of Pro at $14.99/month.
