Turn your own notes into Gimkit Blaster questions
DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides or notes and writes multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations, ready for a fast blaster-style review.
Why a set you generate beats a ready-made one
Ready-made Gimkit Blaster sets cover whatever someone else chose to include, so they often miss the exact facts on your exam. Questions generated from your own notes keep the review tied to your course.
- Questions cover only your own material, not a shared set.
- Multiple choice, true/false and open questions in one run.
- Explanations on every answer turn misses into lessons.
- The free plan studies in the browser; exports start on Plus.
Questions from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page and get questions drawn from what you gave it.
Explanations on every answer
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions each come with a short explanation, so a wrong pick still teaches you something.
Export when you need it
The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your LMS.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should I make for a Blaster-style review?
Start with one chapter or lecture at a time so each round stays short and focused. Add more as you cover new material.
How do I study quick-recall questions effectively?
Answer from memory before you look at the choices, then read the explanation for every miss. Repeat the missed questions later in the week so they stick.
Can I export the questions I generate?
Yes, on paid plans. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export. The free plan studies in the browser without exports.
Does DeckOwl work with photos of pages?
