Why picture-based review needs your own material

Many students who search for gimkit pictures want a quick way to turn their own diagrams, labeled slides and photographed notes into game-style questions. Generic picture quizzes rarely match the exact figures, captions and terms in your course, so the questions end up testing the wrong thing.

Upload photos of printed notes, textbook pages or slides and get questions from the text in them.
Mix multiple choice, true/false and short-answer questions from the same picture-heavy material.
Read the explanation for every answer to understand why an option is right or wrong.
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro, for classroom use.

Example art history picture questions

Which artist painted Impression, Sunrise (1872), the work that gave Impressionism its name?Claude Monet. The critic Louis Leroy mocked the painting's loose brushwork in a review, and the label Impressionism stuck.

What is the vanishing point in linear perspective?The point on the horizon where parallel lines appear to meet, which creates the illusion of depth on a flat surface.

Which three colors are the primary colors in traditional paint mixing?Red, yellow and blue. Mixing any two of them produces a secondary color such as orange, green or purple.

What does chiaroscuro describe in painting?Strong contrast between light and dark used to model three-dimensional form, as seen in the work of Caravaggio.

How does a raster image differ from a vector image?A raster image is a grid of pixels that loses sharpness when enlarged, while a vector image uses mathematical paths that scale cleanly.

Generate the full set

Reads text in photos

Photos of pages and slides are read with text recognition, so labels, captions and printed notes can become quiz questions.

Questions with explanations

Each multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer question comes with an explanation of why the correct answer is right.

Your material, not a template

Every quiz is generated from the images and notes you upload, so you are not limited to a fixed set of ready-made picture questions.

How it works

Upload your images or slides

Add a PDF, PPTX, DOCX, plain text file or a photo of your pages.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions and generate the quiz.

Review and export

Study in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans add PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

DeckOwl starts from the files you upload. Text in photos of pages is read with text recognition, and the quiz is built from that text, so a question about a labeled slide can refer to the terms printed on it. Read the explanations after each answer, since they show the reasoning behind the correct option.

You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and study in the browser at no cost. Plus and Pro add unlimited generations and export options for sharing or importing questions elsewhere.
