Turn your own notes into a printable picture round quiz
Build picture round questions from slides, notes or page photos, check the answer key, then print or export.
Making a printable picture round from your own material
Picture rounds work best when every image has one clear answer, and building a printable pub quiz picture round by hand takes longer than most hosts have before a quiz night. DeckOwl starts from your own material: upload slides, notes or photos of a page, and it writes questions with explanations you can review before you print.
- Write a caption or short description for every image so the questions have something to draw from.
- Keep each picture focused on one identifiable subject, such as a flag, a landmark or a logo.
- Check that no two questions share the same answer, so teams cannot guess from earlier rounds.
- Print the answer key on a separate page so the host can mark answers quickly.
Questions from your material
Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of a page and get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations.
Answer keys with reasons
Each question comes with an explanation, so the host can check why an answer is right before the quiz night.
Export when you need paper
Plus exports to PDF and DOCX for printing, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for teachers who run quizzes in a learning system.
How it works
Upload your source
Add the slides, notes or photos that describe each picture, such as a list of landmarks, flags or logos with captions.
Generate and review
DeckOwl writes the questions and explanations. Remove any item that is unclear and adjust wording to suit your crowd.
Print or export
Export a PDF or DOCX on Plus, or study in the browser on the free plan while you rehearse.
Be realistic about what the tool does with pictures. It works from text, so describe each image in your notes or put the picture on a slide with a caption, and the questions will follow that description. You still choose the photos and check the answer key, which keeps the round fair.

Frequently asked questions
How many picture round images should a pub quiz include?
Keep the round short enough to finish in a few minutes. A small set of clear images usually works better than a long slideshow that tires the teams.
What makes a good picture round clue?
Choose images with one recognizable subject and write the answer key before the quiz starts. Every image should have one answer that the whole room agrees on.
Does DeckOwl find the pictures for me?
No. You supply the notes, slides or photos, and DeckOwl generates questions and explanations from the text it reads in them.
Can I export the questions to PDF or DOCX?
PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The free plan allows studying in the browser without exports.
