Turn your own notes into multiple-choice quizzes, free to start

How a free quiz maker fits into a student's study routine
A free online quiz maker works best when the questions come from the material your class actually uses. Upload lecture slides or chapter notes, and the generator writes multiple-choice items that match your wording and topics, so practice is closer to exam style than a generic question bank.
- Multiple-choice questions with one clear correct answer and plausible distractors
- True/false and short-answer questions for quick checks
- Explanations that show why each option is right or wrong
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
Questions from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages. Each question is built from the content you provided.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a short lesson instead of a dead end.
Study free in the browser
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer for your quiz.
Study and review
Take the quiz in your browser and read the explanation for each answer.
Multiple-choice quizzes are most useful after a reading, not before it. Answer without notes first, then check each explanation to see why the right option is correct and the distractors are wrong. Repeat the quiz a few days later to find out what you still remember.

Frequently asked questions
How long should a single multiple-choice study session be?
Short sessions of 15 to 20 minutes usually work better than one long cram session. Reviewing the questions you missed matters more than how many questions you answer.
What makes a good multiple-choice question for studying?
A good item has one clearly correct answer and distractors that reflect common misconceptions. The explanation matters as much as the answer, because it shows the reasoning behind each option.
Can I export my quiz to Moodle or Word?
Export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
