Turn your notes into a quiz with a free quiz maker
DeckOwl runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install. Upload your own material and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations.
Why a custom quiz beats a generic download
Many people searching for a free offline quiz maker software want something installed on their computer. DeckOwl runs in the browser instead of as a downloadable program, so the free plan works best when you are online. What it does offer is a free plan with 3 generations per month, where you build quizzes from your own material rather than from a ready-made file someone else wrote.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages
- Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions
- Every question includes an explanation
- Free plan: 3 generations a month, studied in the browser
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages, and the quiz is written from what you actually studied.
Three question types
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions for each set, depending on how you want to practice.
Explanations on every question
Each answer comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson rather than just a score.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, document or photo of a page. Text recognition reads the photo.
Pick a question type
Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer and generate the quiz in one step.
Take the quiz and review
Answer in the browser, read the explanations, then retry the questions you missed.
Printing or taking a quiz away from the screen is possible on the Plus plan, which adds PDF and DOCX export. Plus costs $39/year or $7.99/month and includes unlimited generations. Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice quiz have for one chapter?
A set of 10 to 20 questions is a practical size for one chapter. Shorter sets are easier to review right after a study session.
What is the best way to use quiz explanations after a wrong answer?
Read the explanation, restate the correct idea in your own words, and retry the question later. Retesting after a gap usually helps an answer stick better than rereading the notes.
Can I export my quiz to PDF for free?
No. PDF and DOCX export are part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
Do I need to download anything to use DeckOwl?
No download is required. DeckOwl runs in your browser, and you can start without a credit card.
