Turn your own notes into a printable quiz booklet
Upload your PDF, slides, DOCX, notes or photos of pages, and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations. Free to start.
Why build the booklet from your own material
Teachers, tutors and students often want a quiz booklet they can print and hand out, but a ready-made one rarely matches what was taught. Writing one by hand from your own lecture material takes time. DeckOwl builds a custom set from your files or notes, so the questions reflect your course.
- Questions drawn from your own notes, slides or textbook pages
- Multiple choice, true/false and open question formats
- Explanations that show why each answer is correct
- PDF and DOCX export on paid plans, browser study on free
Built from your material
Questions come from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages, so the booklet matches what you were taught.
Explanations included
Each question comes with an explanation of the correct answer, so the booklet teaches as well as tests.
Export when you need print
Paid plans export to PDF or DOCX so you can print the booklet or edit it before handing it out.
How it works
