Get quiz practice from your own notes, no join code needed
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations.
Why a join game code is not the same as studying
A join game code opens a live session with classmates, while DeckOwl is built for practice on your own. You upload the notes or slides you already have, and the tool writes quiz questions that match them.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations
- Study in the browser on the free plan with 3 generations per month
- Students get 40% off Plus with a school email
Quizzes from your material
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions are built from the PDFs, slides, notes and page photos you upload.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with an explanation, so you learn why an answer is right instead of only checking whether you guessed correctly.
Flashcards that repeat at the right time
Spaced repetition brings back cards you find hard, so review time goes to the material you are most likely to forget.
How it works
Upload your study material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, and generate a quiz from your own content.
Practice in your browser
Work through the quiz alone at your own pace, read the explanations, and return to the cards that need more review.
Each quiz question includes an explanation, which matters more than the score when you are learning a subject. Missed questions are the ones worth reviewing, and the explanation shows what the correct reasoning was.
The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month and adds unlimited generations and exports, and students get 40% off with a school email. No credit card is needed to start.
