How the MCQ questions generator works
The MCQ questions generator from PDF in DeckOwl reads your file, picks out key terms and claims, and writes a question for each one. Every correct answer comes with a short explanation, so the questions teach as well as test.
- Works with PDFs, slides, Word files, notes and photos of pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one set
- Explanations for each answer so you can check your reasoning
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
Questions from your own files
Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages, and get questions built from that exact material.
Multiple-choice, true/false and open
Pick the question type you need. Every item includes an explanation, so you learn why the right answer is right.
Export when you need it
The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works

Review and study
Check each question and its explanation, then study in the browser or export the set.
