Turn your class notes into a quiz with AI
Upload lecture notes, slides or a PDF and get questions with explanations, so you practice recalling the material instead of rereading it.
Why a quiz beats rereading your notes
Lecture notes are full of testable facts, but rereading them feels productive without showing what you actually remember. Uploading your material and turning notes into quizzes makes you pull each answer from memory, which is the part of studying that sticks.
- Questions are generated from the text of your own notes, slides or PDFs.
- Each question includes an explanation, so wrong answers become study points.
- Photos of pages are read with text recognition before questions are written.
- The free plan includes three generations per month and studying in the browser.

How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or photo of your pages.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, or a mix of them.
Answer and check the explanations
Work through the quiz, then read why each answer is right or wrong and review what you missed.
DeckOwl reads your files and writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation. Short-answer items are useful when you need to explain a process, such as how food moves through the gut, rather than pick a term from a list.
Exports are a paid feature. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for course platforms.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a quiz on the digestive system have?
Ten to fifteen questions covers the main organs and their functions for a typical lecture. Shorter quizzes work well for a single organ, such as the stomach or small intestine.
What should I focus on when studying digestion?
Focus on the order the organs come in, what each one adds to food, and where most absorption happens. Enzymes and where they act are the details most often tested.
Can I turn photos of my notes into a quiz?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, and that text is used to write the questions. Check the questions against your source, as with any AI output.
Is exporting my quiz to QTI or Moodle XML free?
No. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro. The free plan includes three generations per month and studying in the browser.
