Answers and explanations

Every question shows the correct answer and a sentence on why it is right, so you learn the reasoning as well as the fact.

Built from your material

Trivia comes from your own PDF, slides, notes or photos of pages, so it matches the chapter your class is covering.

Formats you can switch

Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions for each set, depending on whether you are drilling facts or testing recall.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Pick question types

Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Each question is generated with an explanation.

Study or export

Practice in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans add export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV for printable answer keys.

Upload a lecture PDF, a DOCX handout or a set of slides, and the generator writes questions that point to specific passages. Each answer comes with a short explanation, so you learn why the right option is right, not just which letter to pick.

Free accounts get 3 generations per month and can study in the browser. Paid plans remove the monthly limit and allow export, which helps if you want a printable answer key for a quiz night.
