Turn your own notes into a Gimkit-style quiz with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, so you can practice the material you actually have to learn.
How a Gimkit-style quiz helps you study
Students who like the fast, game-like rhythm of a Gimkit-style quiz often want the same thing for their reading: questions pulled from the chapter they are actually tested on. DeckOwl reads PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes and photos of pages, then writes questions that match that text.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions from your own files
- An explanation attached to every question
- Studying in the browser on the free plan, with no credit card needed to start
- Students get 40% off with a school email
Questions from your material
Start from your own PDF, PPTX, DOCX, notes or photographed pages. Questions come from the content you uploaded, not a generic bank.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the right one is correct instead of just marking it wrong.
Export when you need it
Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, pasted notes or a photo of a page. Images are read with text recognition.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions. Each one comes with an explanation.
Practice and review
Work through the quiz in your browser. Plus and Pro users can export the set or move it into another study tool.
Every question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson instead of a dead end. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month with studying in the browser and no exports. Plus, at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Pro, at $14.99/month, adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write good quiz questions for a unit like the US Constitution?
Focus on one idea per question, such as which article creates a branch or who has a specific power. Write the explanation in your own words so you remember the reason, not just the answer.
How many practice questions should I do in one study session?
Most students do well with a short set of 10 to 20 questions, then review the ones they missed. Repeat the missed questions in a later session to build lasting recall.
Can I export my quiz to Moodle?
Yes, Moodle XML export is included in the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are included in Plus.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes, the free plan lets you generate 3 quizzes per month and study them in the browser. No credit card is needed to start.
