Turn your own notes into a Gimkit-style quiz with AI
DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, DOCX, notes or photos of pages and writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations. You practice them alone in the browser, and paid plans add exports for other tools.
Why generate a quiz from your own material
When you want a Gimkit-style quiz built around your own lecture, the fastest route is to upload that lecture rather than typing questions by hand. The quiz then covers the terms and examples your class actually used.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions
- Explanations written for each answer
- Works from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes and photos
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month
Questions from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages, and DeckOwl writes the questions from what you gave it.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer still teaches you something.
Start free, no card needed
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and study in the browser. No credit card is needed to start.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, set of notes or a photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer for the quiz you want.
Answer and review
Work through the questions in the browser and read the explanation after each one.
DeckOwl is not a live multiplayer game, so there is no room code or class leaderboard. What it does is turn your reading into practice questions you can answer on your own, and Pro exports them to Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 for your course system.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a live game mode with a room code?
No. DeckOwl creates quiz questions you answer on your own in the browser, not a live class game with a room code.
How do I convert a fraction to a decimal?
Divide the numerator by the denominator, so 3/8 becomes 3 divided by 8, which equals 0.375. Fractions with denominators that have only factors of 2 and 5 give decimals that end, while 1/3 gives 0.333 repeating forever.
How many fractions and decimals practice questions should I do?
Work through a set until you can explain each step without looking at the answer. Short daily sets that mix old and new problems usually work better than one long cram session.
Can I export the quiz?
Yes. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro.
