Make quizzes from your own notes, not someone else's question bank
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations for every answer.
Why teachers and students look for a different quiz tool
Teachers and students searching for an alternative to Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizlet and Blooket often want questions that match their own lecture slides and reading, not generic content. DeckOwl starts from your files, so the questions reflect the exact vocabulary and examples your course uses.
- Questions are generated from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files or notes
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats with explanations
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with exports on paid plans
- Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems
Built from your material
Questions come from the files you upload, so the quiz matches what your class actually covers instead of a shared public bank.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so missed answers become a learning moment rather than just a score.
Kahoot-style or solo study
Run a quiz as a practice set in the browser, then export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
How it works
Upload your files
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. Images are read with text recognition.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and generate a set from the material you uploaded.
Study and review
Work through the quiz, read the explanations for anything you missed, and repeat until the answers come easily.
Quizzes work best when they are followed by review. Each generated question includes an explanation, and you can switch between multiple choice, true/false and open questions to test recall from different angles. The free plan lets you study in the browser, while Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a solar system quiz have?
A short set covering one topic, such as planetary orbits or the outer planets, works better than a long mixed quiz. Shorter sessions make it easier to review every explanation afterward.
What is the best way to study planet facts with a quiz?
Answer from memory before checking, then reread the explanation for each miss. Coming back to the same questions a few days later helps the facts stick.
Can I export my quizzes?
Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are included on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No, you can start without a credit card. Students also get 40% off with a school email.
