Turn your own notes into an online quiz competition
Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get a set of multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, each with an explanation, ready for your next round.
Why build a quiz competition from your own material
Running a quiz competition works best when every question comes from material your players already studied. An online quiz competition built from your own slides or notes keeps the round focused, and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with an explanation for each answer.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions
- Explanations for every answer, useful during review
- Question sets built only from your uploaded material
- PDF and DOCX export on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Questions from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Every question comes from what you provided.
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer.
Exports when you need them
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a Word file or notes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer, then generate the question set.
Review and export
Check the questions and explanations, then export the quiz for your round if you are on a paid plan.
If you were hoping for a ready-made question bank, this tool creates a custom one from your own material instead. Each explanation also makes the review after a round useful, not just the scoring. The free plan includes 3 generations a month, and Plus removes that limit.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a classroom quiz competition have?
Most rounds work well with 10 to 20 questions, so each team can answer in a reasonable amount of time. Mixing question types keeps the round from feeling repetitive.
How do I write good wrong answers for a competition quiz?
Make each wrong option plausible and close in length to the correct one. Avoid options like all of the above, which give away the answer.
Can I export a quiz to Moodle?
Yes, Moodle XML export is included in the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included. Plus is $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
