Turn your own notes into a multiple choice quiz with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and DeckOwl writes multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of why the answer is right.
How a multiple choice quiz generator fits into studying
A multiple choice question quiz generator helps most when you have a stack of lecture slides and no time to write practice questions by hand. You upload the material, and the tool proposes questions drawn from the sections you actually covered, each with four options and a reason the correct choice is right.
- Questions are generated from your own PDFs, slides, notes and photos of pages.
- Each multiple choice item includes an explanation for the correct answer.
- Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions in one set.
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer
Pick the question type that fits your course. Every item includes the correct answer and a short explanation so you learn from mistakes.
Built from your own material
Questions come from the pages you upload, including photos of printed notes read with text recognition, so the quiz matches what your class covers.
Export when you need it
Plus exports to PDF and DOCX. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or photos of pages.
Choose the question types
Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and how many questions you want.
Study and review explanations
Take the quiz in your browser, check each explanation, and retake the questions you missed.
Retrieval practice works better than rereading, and multiple choice questions with explanations give you that without extra prep. Retake the items you missed a day later, and the wrong answers will tell you which definitions or steps still need work.
DeckOwl is free to start with no credit card, and the free plan includes three generations per month that you can study in the browser. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.

Frequently asked questions
How do I study mitosis and meiosis with multiple choice questions?
Start by writing down the phases of each process in order, then test yourself on what happens in each phase. Focus on the differences, such as how many daughter cells each produces and whether chromosome number is halved.
How many questions should I answer in one study session?
Twenty to thirty questions in one sitting is a practical range for most students. Review every explanation, including the ones you got right, because the reasons matter as much as the answer.
Can I export my quiz to Moodle?
Moodle XML export is available on the Pro plan, which also supports QTI 2.1. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes three generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included.
