Turn your own notes into a free AI quiz
Upload a PDF, slides, DOCX or plain notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and study in the browser.
What the free AI quiz plan includes and what costs money
Students and teachers often ask whether the Kahoot quiz maker is free, and the answer depends on whether you want to quiz yourself on your own lecture material. DeckOwl starts from the files you already have: upload slides, a PDF or notes, and the AI writes questions with explanations.
- Three free generations each month to test the tool on real material
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations
- Study in the browser at no cost on the free plan
- Paid exports for PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML
Free plan included
Start with 3 generations per month and no credit card, then study the quiz right in your browser.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false or short answer question comes with an explanation, so wrong answers teach you something.
Built from your own material
Quizzes come from your lecture slides, PDFs, notes or a photo of a page, not from a generic question bank.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions for your quiz.
Study or export
Take the quiz in your browser on the free plan, or export it on a paid plan.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, with no credit card needed to start. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export come with Pro at $14.99/month.
Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans, so the cost of exporting quizzes for a class can be lower than you might expect.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I write for a solar system unit?
Ten to fifteen questions usually cover the planets, moons, orbits and dwarf planets well enough for a first pass. Add more questions on the topics you keep missing.
What is the best way to quiz yourself on the solar system?
Spread your questions across several short sessions instead of cramming them into one sitting. Retry the questions you missed a day or two later, since that spacing helps the answers stick.
Is the DeckOwl free plan really free?
Yes, it includes 3 generations per month, studying in the browser and no credit card requirement to start. Exports and unlimited generations require a paid plan.
Can I export a free quiz to PDF?
Not on the free plan. PDF and DOCX export start with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month.
