Turn any PDF into a quiz with AI
Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get practice questions with explanations. Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on Plus.
Why generate a quiz from your own PDF
Plenty of students who search for a pdf to quiz workflow with Gemini want the same result: practice questions drawn from their own reading, not a general answer pasted from a chat window.
- Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or photos of pages
- Get multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations
- Study in the browser on the free plan with 3 generations per month
- Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on paid plans
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions
Pick the question type that fits your material, and each question comes with an explanation of the correct answer.
Works with the files you already have
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Missed questions come back at intervals that match how well you know them, so review time goes to the weak spots.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I make from a chapter on the Gemini constellation?
Start with 10 to 15 questions per chapter so you cover the main stars, myths and sky positions without rushing. Add more only for sections with dense details, such as star names or brightness.
What is an easy way to remember which twin is Castor and which is Pollux?
Pollux is the brighter star of the pair, so compare their brightness on a clear night as a quick check. Writing each name next to its myth also helps the pairing stick.
Can I export my quiz to PDF or Moodle?
Yes, but exports are paid features: Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
