Turn your own notes into a quiz you can print
Ready-made printable quizzes rarely match what you are studying. Upload your PDFs, slides, or notes and get multiple choice, true/false, or open questions with explanations, ready to export.
Why a custom printable quiz beats a generic one
If you need a free quiz maker to print, start with the material you already studied, because a generic printable quiz will not cover your course. DeckOwl builds questions from your own PDFs, slides, or notes, and each answer comes with an explanation.
- Multiple choice, true/false, or open questions, each with an explanation
- Generated from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of pages
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, with studying done in the browser
- Plus adds PDF and DOCX export for printing at $99.90/year or $9.99/month
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you something before you move on.
Built from your material
Questions come from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files, or notes, not a generic question bank.
Photos of pages work too
Snap a page from a textbook or handout and text recognition reads it into the generator.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free quiz maker I can print?
The free plan creates quizzes and lets you study them in the browser, but it does not include exports. Exporting to PDF for printing is part of the Plus plan.
How many questions should a printed quiz have?
Most study quizzes work well at 10 to 20 questions, which covers one chapter without taking too long to finish. Include some open questions so you practice recalling answers, not just recognizing them.
How often should I retake a printed quiz?
Retake it after a day or two, then again a week later, so the answers stick. Mark the questions you missed and reread their explanations before the next attempt.
Does DeckOwl export to Moodle or QTI?
QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan at $14.99/month. PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus.
