Study from your own material instead of waiting on Gimkit videos
DeckOwl turns your PDFs, slides, or notes into multiple-choice, true/false, and short answer questions with explanations you can review on your own schedule.
When a video is not enough for your class
Most Gimkit videos show how to set up or play a game, which helps with the tool but not with the content you actually need to learn.
- Questions are built from the notes, slides, or PDFs you upload.
- Every multiple choice, true/false, and short answer question includes an explanation.
- Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so handwritten class notes printed or photographed clearly can be used.
- Free plan: 3 generations per month with browser study and no exports.
Your material, not a generic video
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a photo of a page and get questions drawn from your actual course content.
Three question types
Multiple choice, true/false, and short answer questions, each with an explanation so you learn why an answer is right.
Export when you need it
Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV, and the Pro plan adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a Word file, notes, or a photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false, or short answer questions for your quiz.
Study or export
Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export your questions on a paid plan.
If you need study material rather than a how-to, DeckOwl reads your own notes and slides, then writes quiz questions with explanations so a wrong answer teaches you something.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Paid plans remove the limit and add exports for Anki, CSV, and more.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between frame rate and bitrate in video?
Frame rate is how many still images play each second, such as 24 or 30 fps. Bitrate is how much data is used per second, which affects file size and quality.
How should I study video terminology for an exam?
Make short question and answer cards for each term, then quiz yourself until you can explain each one in your own words. Spaced review helps the terms stick.
Does DeckOwl have a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
Can I export quiz questions to Moodle?
Moodle XML export is included on the Pro plan, which costs $14.99 per month. Students with a school email get 40% off.
