Make a quiz from your notes with an AI quiz generator
Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file or photos of pages. DeckOwl writes the questions and explanations, and you study them in the browser.
Why people use an AI quiz generator on their own notes
Most people who ask about how to make a quiz generator want a working set of practice questions from their own course material, not a programming project. An AI quiz generator reads your notes and writes questions it can check against the text, so the quiz covers what your class actually taught.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question types
- Explanations for every answer, right or wrong
- Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month; paid plans add exports
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation.
Works with your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages read with text recognition.

How it works

Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions for your quiz.
Study or export
