Turn your own notes into an AI-generated quiz
Upload a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of a page. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations you can study in the browser.
How an AI quiz generator fits into studying
Teachers and students who want a kwizz-style AI quiz generator usually have a chapter, lecture deck, or set of notes and need practice questions quickly. Writing good questions by hand takes time, and generic quizzes rarely match what your course actually covers.
- Questions come from the files you upload, not a generic topic list
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats in one generation
- Explanations after each answer to reinforce the reasoning
- Free plan to start, with no credit card needed
Three question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from the same material, so you can test recall and understanding.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so wrong answers become study notes.
Export when you need it
Free plans study in the browser. Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning systems.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file, or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false, short answer, or a mix to match the quiz you want to take.
Practice and review
Take the quiz, read the explanations, and return to missed questions until the material sticks.
DeckOwl builds the quiz from your own material. Each question is tied to the text it came from, and the explanation shows where the answer comes from, so you can check your understanding against your source instead of memorizing a stranger's question bank.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I make for a cell biology chapter?
Start with 15 to 20 questions across a few sections of the chapter, then add more on topics you missed. Mixing multiple-choice and true/false questions helps you check both recognition and recall.
What is the best way to study quiz questions I got wrong?
Read the explanation, restate the correct idea in your own words, and retry the question a day or two later. Spacing the review out makes the correction more likely to stick.
Can I export my quiz if I use the free plan?
The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
Does DeckOwl work with PowerPoint slides and scanned pages?
Yes, it accepts PPTX files and photos of pages, which are read with text recognition. Clear, well-lit photos give the best results for generating questions.
