Turn your notes into a free online quiz in minutes
Skip the manual question writing. Upload your material and get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations.
Free quiz creation: Google Forms or your own notes
Writing every question by hand is the slow part of building a free online quiz in Google Forms, especially when you already have lecture slides or a textbook chapter that contains the material. Google Forms handles delivery and grading well once the questions exist, but it does not write them for you.
- Questions drawn from your own uploaded material, not generic templates
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats with explanations
- Free plan: 3 generations per month with study in the browser
- Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or photos of pages and get questions based on that content.
Explanations included
Each multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer question comes with an explanation of the correct answer.
Free to start
The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and needs no credit card to begin.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions.
Study the quiz
Work through the questions in your browser and check each explanation.
DeckOwl takes the other route: upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or a photo of a page, and it generates multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer. You can study the quiz in the browser on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month.
