How a PDF to quiz app helps you study

Turning a PDF to quiz app workflow into a habit works best when the quiz comes from your own reading. Upload a chapter, lecture slides or your notes, and DeckOwl writes questions that cover the points your material actually makes.

Generate questions from PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes and photographed pages
Mix multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions in one quiz
Read a clear explanation after every answer, right or wrong
Export to PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on paid plans

Example biology quiz questions on cell structure

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out cellular respiration, which converts glucose and oxygen into ATP.

True or false: plant cell walls are made mainly of cellulose.True. Cellulose fibers give plant cell walls their rigidity and support.

What is the main function of ribosomes?Protein synthesis. They read mRNA and link amino acids together into polypeptide chains.

Why can small nonpolar molecules cross the cell membrane more easily than ions?The interior of the phospholipid bilayer is hydrophobic, so nonpolar molecules dissolve through it while charged ions are blocked.

Which phase of mitosis lines chromosomes up along the cell's equator?Metaphase. Spindle fibers align the chromosomes on the metaphase plate before they separate in anaphase.

Generate the full set

Three question types

Get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions generated from the material you upload.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the right one is correct.

Export when you need it

Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a quiz from your own content.

Study or export

Work through the quiz in your browser, review explanations, or export it on a paid plan.

Practice questions show you what you have not learned yet. Answering from memory and then reading the explanation is more effective than rereading the same pages, because the gaps appear right away.

If you teach or tutor, the same quiz can be exported to PDF or DOCX for a printed handout, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for a learning management system on the Pro plan.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should I make from one chapter?

Start with a set you can finish in one sitting, often 10 to 15 questions. Once you miss only a few, generate a harder set from the same chapter.

Does quizzing myself work better than rereading notes?

Retrieval practice, where you answer questions from memory, usually helps you remember more than rereading. Reviewing the explanation for each miss shows you exactly what to study next.

Can I export my quiz?

PDF and DOCX exports are included in the Plus plan. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are available on Pro.

Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, with no exports. You do not need a credit card to start.
