Turn your notes into printable multiple choice sheets
DeckOwl reads your PDF, DOCX, PPTX or a photo of a page, then writes multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, each with an explanation.
Why generate a sheet instead of printing a ready-made one
Ready-made multiple choice sheets are handy for a quick check, but they rarely match the chapter or lecture you covered this week. DeckOwl builds multiple choice sheets from your own material, so every question reflects your course rather than a generic template.
- Questions are drawn from your uploaded PDF, slides, notes or page photos.
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats are available.
- Every question includes an explanation for the correct answer.
- Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
Built from your material
Upload lecture slides, a textbook chapter or handwritten notes photographed as images, and the questions come from what you actually covered.
Explanations for every answer
Each question shows why the correct option is right, so a wrong guess becomes a short lesson instead of a dead end.
Export when you need paper
Paid plans export your quiz to PDF or DOCX for printing, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or photos of pages. No credit card is needed to start.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, and set roughly how many you want per section.
Print or study
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export a printable PDF or DOCX on a paid plan.
Start with the sections you found hardest, generate a set of about 10 to 20 questions, and print it as a PDF. Then retake the same sheet a few days later with the spaced repetition schedule on a paid plan to see what has stuck.

Frequently asked questions
How many multiple choice questions should I write for one study sheet?
Most students find 10 to 20 questions per topic enough for a single sitting. A shorter second set a few days later usually helps more than one long session.
What makes a good wrong answer in a multiple choice question?
Good distractors are plausible and reflect common misconceptions, such as mixing up mitosis and meiosis. Avoid options like "all of the above" and keep every choice about the same length.
Can I print the sheet?
Printing needs a PDF or DOCX export, which is a paid feature at $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations a month.
Does it work with photos of pages?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of handwritten or printed notes. Check the questions after generating, since recognition can miss faint text.
