Going from a PDF to a Kahoot-style quiz

Teachers and tutors often have a lecture PDF or textbook chapter and want a PDF to Kahoot quiz without writing every question by hand. DeckOwl reads the file and drafts multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, each with an explanation that students can review after the round.

Built from your own file

Questions come from the PDF you upload, so the quiz covers your course material rather than generic content.

Explanations on every question

Each answer includes a short explanation, so students learn why an option is right or wrong during the round.

Three question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions to match the pace and style of your Kahoot-style session.

How it works

Upload your PDF

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the questions

Check each question against the source, edit wording and keep the ones that fit your lesson.

Use or export the quiz

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan and run it in your quiz tool.

Every question is generated from your own material, so you can check it against the source before anyone plays. Kahoot is a separate platform; DeckOwl gives you the question set, which you can then copy into the quiz tool your class already uses.

Because the questions stay tied to the text you uploaded, the quiz works well for review before an exam or for a self-paced round at home. Small edits to wording or answer order take less time than starting from a blank page.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a Kahoot-style quiz have for fractions and decimals?

Eight to fifteen questions usually fit a single round without losing pace. Mix conversions, comparisons and addition so students practice more than one skill.

How do I write wrong answer choices for decimal place-value questions?

Use errors students actually make, such as reading 0.56 as larger than 0.6 or adding denominators directly. Plausible mistakes make the explanation more useful after the round.

Can I export the quiz to other tools?

Exports to PDF and DOCX are available on paid plans, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
