Turn your own notes into an MCQ quiz with AI
Upload a PDF, slides, a Word file or photos of pages. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation.
Why teachers and students use an MCQ maker website
Most people who try an MCQ maker website want questions built from material they already have, not generic banks they have to adapt. Typing every option and explanation by hand takes hours that are better spent studying.
- Questions are based on the text you upload, not a fixed bank.
- Each item includes an explanation for the correct answer.
- Mix multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats in one set.
- Export options depend on your plan, so check what is included before you need it.
Reads your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text recognition handles pages you photograph.
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer
Each question comes with a correct answer and an explanation, so wrong answers become study moments.
Export when you need it
Take quizzes to PDF or DOCX on Plus. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text notes or a photo of a page.
Choose the question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.
Review and study
Check each question and explanation, then practice in the browser or export.
A good generated quiz should match the lecture order and vocabulary of your course. Review each question before using it, since the explanation shows why the correct choice is right and the distractors are wrong.
Start with one chapter or one set of slides. Once the questions read the way you want, generate the rest of the unit.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a good multiple-choice question about probability?
Ask about one idea, such as independence or complementary events, and make each distractor reflect a common mistake. Keep the options similar in length so the correct answer does not stand out.
Why are mutually exclusive events not the same as independent events?
Mutually exclusive events cannot both happen, so knowing one occurred tells you the other did not. Independent events are unaffected by each other, so the two ideas usually produce different probability calculations.
Can I export my quiz to Moodle or QTI?
QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in the Pro plan at $14.99/month. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.
Is there a free plan?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
