Turn your own notes into a Gimkit-style quiz
Skip generic question sets. DeckOwl builds a quiz from the material you already have, and the free plan needs no credit card to start.
Why a custom quiz beats a ready-made one
Ready-made quiz games rarely match your course, so the questions drift off target. If you want a Gimkit-style quiz with no sign up, the more useful route is to start from your own notes, since the questions then reflect what your teacher actually covers.
- Questions are built from the notes or slides you upload, not a generic bank.
- Each answer includes an explanation you can review after playing.
- The free plan gives 3 generations per month with browser study.
- Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are available on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
Questions from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page, and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions drawn from it.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a short lesson instead of a dead end.
Study in the browser for free
The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study right in the browser. Paid plans add exports.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add the file or photo you studied from. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Generate the quiz
DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations from that material.
Play and review
Work through the quiz, check the explanations, and return to the questions you missed.
DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, notes or page photos and writes questions with explanations. Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions cover the same ideas from different angles, which helps more than repeating one format.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study with no credit card needed to start. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Pro, at $14.99/month, adds bulk upload, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export. Students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a review quiz have?
Ten to twenty questions per session is a practical range for most topics. Shorter quizzes work well for daily review, and longer ones suit a full chapter.
How do I make a review quiz more effective than rereading notes?
Answer from memory first, then read the explanation for every miss. Revisit the questions you got wrong after a day or two so the review spreads out over time.
Can I export the quiz for my class?
Exports are paid features. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser.
Is DeckOwl the same as Gimkit?
No. DeckOwl is a separate AI study tool that generates quizzes, flashcards and mind maps from your own material. It does not run Gimkit games.
