Turn your notes into a Kahoot-style quiz with explanations
Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, each with an explanation you can study from.
Why generate the test from your own notes
Many students who type in a Kahoot-style test maker want a fast, game-like quiz, but the questions that help most come from what they actually studied. DeckOwl turns your own PDF, slides or notes into multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations, so the quiz matches your course rather than a generic template.
- Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text or photos of pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions
- Explanations on every question
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro
Questions from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain notes or photos of pages, and the quiz is built from what your course actually covers.
Three question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, so you can mix quick recall with questions that require a full answer.
Explanations on every item
Each question shows why the correct answer is right, so a missed question turns into a short lesson instead of just a score.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of your notes. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, or combine them in one quiz.
Study or export
Take the quiz in your browser on the free plan, or export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.
Each question comes with an explanation, which makes wrong answers useful. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, while Plus offers unlimited generations with PDF and DOCX export. Pro adds bulk upload and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a Spanish present-tense verb quiz include?
A set of about 10 to 15 questions covers one lesson's verbs well. Mix regular verbs with stem-changing and irregular ones so the quiz tests more than one skill.
Which present-tense Spanish verbs are hardest to memorize?
Stem-changing verbs like pensar (piensa) and irregular yo forms like tengo cause the most mistakes. Practice those separately first, then mix them into one quiz.
Can I export the quiz?
PDF and DOCX export is included in Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export is included in Pro at $14.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?
The free plan allows 3 generations per month and needs no credit card to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
