How a free quiz maker should work with your material
Students and teachers who search for a free quiz maker usually already have lecture notes, a textbook chapter or a slide deck, and want questions drawn from that exact material. DeckOwl reads what you upload, including PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes, and photos of pages read with text recognition, then writes questions about the content in front of you.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
- Mixes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions
- Every question includes an explanation of the correct answer
- The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer
Pick the question types that fit your course, and mix them in one quiz.
An explanation for every answer
Each question shows why the correct answer is right, so you learn from mistakes as well as scores.
Built from your own material
Questions come from the PDF, slides or notes you upload, not a generic question bank.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page.
Choose your question types
Select multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.
Take the quiz or export it
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan.
If your source is a Google Doc or Google Slides deck, download it as a PDF, DOCX or PPTX first and then upload it. Every question includes an explanation, so each practice round tests you and teaches you at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice quiz have?
For a single lecture, 10 to 15 questions covers the main ideas without taking too long. Split longer chapters into several shorter quizzes so you can review each section on its own.
Should I quiz myself before or after rereading my notes?
Try the quiz first, even if you only recall a little, then check the explanations and reread the parts you missed. Testing before rereading makes gaps easier to spot.

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Exporting to PDF or DOCX requires a paid plan, starting at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
