Why a quiz beats rereading your notes

Many students already have everything a good quiz needs sitting in their notes, and the hard part is turning those pages into questions. DeckOwl lets you turn notes into a quiz with AI by uploading a PDF, slides, a DOCX file or a photo of a page, then reviewing the questions it writes.

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions from one upload
Explanations written for each answer so mistakes teach something
Works with PDFs, DOCX, PPTX slides, text notes and photos of pages
Free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card needed

Example ancient Egypt quiz questions from notes

Which river made farming possible along the settled core of ancient Egypt?The Nile. Its annual flooding deposited fertile silt along its banks, which made crop growing reliable.

What were the two regions of ancient Egypt, and which one was the south?Upper Egypt was the south, along the upstream Nile valley, and Lower Egypt was the north, in the delta.

True or false: the pyramids at Giza were built mainly by enslaved workers.False. Excavated workers' villages and tombs suggest a paid, rotating workforce of skilled and unskilled laborers.

Why did ancient Egyptians practice mummification?To preserve the body for the afterlife, since they believed the body needed to remain intact for the person to continue.

Which writing system did ancient Egyptians carve on temple and tomb walls?Hieroglyphs. They mixed logograms and phonetic signs, which made them suited to monumental inscriptions.

Generate the full set

Three question types

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions are generated from the material you upload, so you can test recall in more than one way.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so a wrong answer becomes a study moment instead of a dead end.

Works with what you already have

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain text notes or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition before the quiz is written.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX slide deck, text file or a photo of a page. Paste text directly if that is easier.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them in one quiz depending on what you need to practice.

Study and review

Take the quiz in your browser, read the explanations, and go back to the questions you missed. Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus.

Quizzes force recall, which rereading does not. A wrong answer with an explanation shows you exactly which idea needs another pass, and mixing true/false with multiple choice and short answer questions tests the same facts from different angles.

Questions are generated from the material you give it, so review them before an exam to confirm they match your course. The free plan includes 3 generations per month, and Plus removes the limit.
