Turn your notes into a multiple choice quiz with AI
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page, and DeckOwl writes multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation.
How a multiple choice quiz maker works with your notes
A multiple choice quiz maker reads the material you give it and drafts questions from the ideas, definitions and examples it finds, so you do not have to write each one by hand.
- Multiple choice questions with one correct answer and plausible distractors
- True/false and short answer questions drawn from the same material
- An explanation for every answer, so wrong choices become study notes
- Free to start with no credit card; students get 40% off with a school email
Questions from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX slides, notes or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer
Pick the question type you need. Every item includes the correct answer and an explanation to read after you respond.
Export where your class needs it
The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or photo of a page.
Choose the question types
Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.
Read the explanations and study
Review why each answer is right or wrong, then quiz yourself in the browser.
Each question has one correct answer and several plausible wrong options, and the explanation says why the right choice is right. That matters when you study a dense lecture, because a wrong option shows you which idea you mixed up.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month and can study in the browser. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, removes the generation limit and adds PDF and DOCX export. Pro, at $14.99/month, adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Frequently asked questions
How many multiple choice questions should I write for a renewable energy sources unit?
Aim for a few questions on each source, covering how it works, where it fits and its main trade-offs. Then add more questions on the sources your exam emphasizes.
What makes a good wrong answer on a renewable energy question?
A good wrong option is a plausible mix-up, such as confusing wind turbines with hydroelectric generation or solar panels with solar thermal collectors. Each wrong option should be wrong for one clear reason you can explain.
Can I export the quiz to Moodle or Anki?
Anki export is included with Plus, and Moodle XML export is on the Pro plan. Free accounts study in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start.
