How DeckOwl builds xyz quizzes from your material
If you want Gimkit-style xyz quiz questions built from your own course material, DeckOwl reads your files and writes the questions for you. It does not host a live game, so you bring the questions into whatever classroom tool your students use.
- Questions generated from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files or notes
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions, each with an explanation
- Study in the browser on the free plan with no credit card to start
- Students get 40% off Plus or Pro with a school email
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions
Pick the question format that fits your review. Each question comes with an explanation so you learn from wrong answers, not just see them.
Works from the files you already have
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the photos, so handwritten-to-print pages still work when the text is clear.
Export when you need it
Plus exports PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems. The free plan studies in the browser.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file or pasted notes covering your xyz topic.
Choose the question types
Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions. Each set includes explanations for the answers.
Study or export
Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export the set on Plus or Pro for your class or another app.
Each question is tied to the text you uploaded, so the quiz follows your lecture slides or reading rather than generic material. Explanations show why an answer is correct, which makes the set useful for review after class.
Free accounts get 5 generations a week with browser study. Plus removes the limit and adds export, and Pro adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Answer each question before reading the explanation, and note which ones you missed. Retry the missed questions after a day or two to strengthen recall.
