Can't make Gimkit public? Turn your own notes into a quiz instead
DeckOwl doesn't publish to Gimkit or any other game platform. It reads your PDFs, slides, DOCX files, pasted notes or photos of pages and writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations that you can study right away.
Sharing a quiz outside Gimkit
Many people searching how to make Gimkit public want to share a set of questions with classmates or a study group. DeckOwl can't publish to Gimkit, but it can turn the same material into a fresh quiz from your own notes or slides.
- Upload the lecture slides or notes your group is using.
- Choose multiple choice for recall and short answer for explanation practice.
- Review each explanation before sharing so the group learns the same material.
- Export on Plus for PDF or DOCX, or on Pro for Moodle XML and QTI 2.1.
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, PPTX, DOCX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Questions come from your own content, not a generic question bank.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question includes an explanation, so you learn why the right answer is right.
Export when you need to
Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course sites.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, slides, DOCX, notes or page photos. No credit card is needed to start.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.
Study or export
Work through the quiz in your browser on the free plan, or export it on Plus or Pro.
Start with the source you already have, such as a lecture deck or chapter summary. Generate the questions, check the explanations, and decide whether to study in the browser or export the file to share with your group.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a public health quiz have?
Ten to twenty questions per chapter works well for most courses. Shorter quizzes make it easier to review explanations after each attempt.
What makes a good public health quiz question?
Good questions test one idea, such as a definition or a core function, and have distractors that are plausible but clearly wrong. Explanations should name the concept behind the correct answer.
Can I export a DeckOwl quiz to Moodle?
Yes, Moodle XML export is available on the Pro plan. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV exports are on the Plus plan, and the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Students get 40% off Plus or Pro with a school email.
