Why generate quizzes from your own notes
Studying from a dense chapter goes faster when you can test yourself right away, and a free AI quiz creator can build that practice from the material you already have. Upload a PDF, a slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl writes questions with the correct answer and an explanation for each one. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you take quizzes in the browser.
- Questions match the wording your instructor used in class
- Every answer comes with an explanation, not only a score
- Start on the free plan with no credit card
- Students get 40% off Plus with a school email
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer.
Built from your files
Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages read with text recognition.
Free to start
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, with no credit card needed to begin.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page.
Choose the question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions.
Take the quiz and review
Read each explanation after you answer, then retake the questions you missed.
Quizzes work best when they come from your own course material rather than a generic template, because your instructor's wording and examples are what tend to show up on the test. Read each explanation after a wrong answer, not just the score, since that is where the reasoning sticks. If you need to export questions, PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are on Plus, and QTI and Moodle XML export are on Pro.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I write for the water cycle?
A short set of questions covering each stage, such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration and runoff, is usually enough for one lesson. Add a few harder questions that test why each stage happens, not only what it is called.
What is the best way to study the water cycle with practice quizzes?
Quiz yourself on each stage before moving on, and explain the process out loud in your own words. Then retake the questions you missed until you can answer them without looking at your notes.
Is the free quiz creator really free?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month with studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exporting to PDF, DOCX or Anki requires Plus, and QTI or Moodle XML export requires Pro.

Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included on the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month covers PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
