Turn your notes into a Kahoot-style trivia quiz
Upload a PDF, slide deck, or set of notes. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions with explanations, ready for a live trivia round.
Why a trivia quiz works better built from your own notes
A good Kahoot-style trivia quiz maker should start from the facts you need to remember, not from generic questions. DeckOwl reads your uploaded notes or slides and writes questions that match them.
- Multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer question formats
- Explanations written for each question
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes, and photos of pages
- Exports to Anki or CSV on Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Questions come from what you actually uploaded.
Explanations on every question
Each answer includes a short explanation, so players learn why an option is right after the round ends.
Three formats for mixed rounds
Choose multiple-choice, true/false, or short-answer questions, or mix them in one quiz.
How it works
Upload your notes or slides
Add a file or paste text. Scanned pages are read with text recognition.
Pick question types and count
Select the formats you want and how many questions to generate for the round.
Review and run the quiz
Check the questions and explanations, then use them in class or with friends.
Trivia rounds also work well for review. Players see a question, pick an answer, and read the explanation after each round, which reinforces the material without a separate study session.
Free accounts can generate three quizzes a month and study in the browser. Paid plans add unlimited generations and exports.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a trivia round have?
Most rounds work well with 10 to 20 questions, which leaves time for players to answer and discuss each one. Shorter rounds suit warm-ups, and longer ones suit review sessions.
What makes a good trivia question?
A good trivia question tests one clear fact and has a single correct answer. Avoid trick wording, and make the wrong options plausible but clearly incorrect.
Can I export my trivia quiz?
Exports are part of paid plans. Plus includes Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan.
